DPReview asked camera manufacturers to pick their most significant piece of gear of the last 25 years.

Here is what the various brands picked:

• Fujifilm: the original Fujifilm X100
  The Fujifilm managers explains to DRP:
  “That was the first camera when we stepped up from selling point-and-shoot, entry-level compact cameras. Smartphones were becoming popular and demand for point-and-shoot cameras was declining so fast. But we were determined to continue and to grow in this industry, so we thought very hard, how can we change our business model. This was our first attempt to do that, using the APS-C-sized sensor. X100 was a huge success, which gave us confidence. We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the X100,” he says Fujifilm’s “If that failed, we would have been in a very difficult position.”
• Nikon: Nikon Z9
  Sony: Sony RX1 and Sony G Master lenses
  Tamron: Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD
  Sigma: Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art and 18-35mm F1.8 Art
  OM System: Olympus Camedia C-2000 Zoom
  Canon: Canon EOS Digital Rebel
  Panasonic: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

So the X100 was existential for Fujifilm. But in my opinion also other cameras were just as important, and I have written about Fujifilm’s top 10 most important digital cameras here.

Out of curiosity I have listed my top 10 picks in the survey below and you can vote what according to you was Fuji’s most significant camera. However, I’ll add the Fujifilm X100VI to the survey due to sheer incredible and historic success it is having.

I have also written an article about the top 10 Fujifilm camera flops in case you want to read it.
