4.5 years ago I launched a survey on FujiRumors here, asking which camera system you own.
And since that was such a long time ago, I decided to launch a new survey again recently.
So what has changed in these 5 years?
Let’s check it the survey results first:
2021: I own Fujifilm X APS-C system only (58%)
2025: I own Fujifilm X APS-C system only (52%)
2021: I own Fujfilm X APS-C system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (25%)
2025: I own Fujfilm X APS-C system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (25%)
2021: I own both, the Fujifilm X and the GFX system (6%)
2025: I own both, the Fujifilm X and the GFX system (8%)
2021: I don’t own any Fujifilm Camera (4%)
2025: I don’t own any Fujifilm Camera (4%)
2021: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (3%)
2025: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (3%)
2021: I own Fujifilm X, Fujifilm GFX + other systems (Sony, Canon, etc) (2%)
2025: I own Fujifilm X, Fujifilm GFX + other systems (Sony, Canon, etc) (5%)
2021: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system only (2%)
2025: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system only (3%)

In 2025, 90% of readers own a Fujifilm X series camera (-1%)
In 2021, 13% of readers owned a Fujifilm GFX camera
In 2025, 19% of readers own a Fujifilm GFX camera (+6%)

The number of people not owning a Fujifilm camera is stable at 4%.
Conclusions:
The Fujifilm X system remains the dominant choice among FujiRumors readers, with APS-C ownership barely shifting over the past 4.5 years (from 91% to 90%). What has changed is how people build their kits around it. Fewer photographers are sticking exclusively to APS-C, while more are expanding into GFX or mixing Fujifilm with other brands.
GFX shows the strongest momentum: its ownership has grown from 13% to 19%, driven both by X shooters adding medium format to their setup and by a small rise in GFX-only users. Multi-system ownership is also up, with 33% of Fujifilm shooters now pairing their Fuji gear with other brands.
Despite these shifts, the share of readers who don’t own any Fujifilm camera at all remains unchanged at 4%.
In short: the X system is still the backbone of the community, but GFX and multi-system hybrid setups are steadily on the rise, with GFX experiencing the biggest rise.
What This Means:
A 1% drop in Fujifilm APS-C ownership is negligible. Especially considering that if rumor sites covering other brands would launch the same survey, they’d probably see a sensible increase in Fujifilm owners (for example, Canon, Sony and Nikon shooters adding a Fujifilm X100VI to their camera gear setup).
But when it comes to FujiRumors readers, there are 6% less people shooting only with APS-C (from 58% to 52%), with most adding the GFX to their personal linuep.
And yet, despite more photographers expanding their kits with other systems, the majority remain loyal to their Fujiflim APS-C cameras with only a -1% drop. That probably indicates that no matter if they buy an additional Full Frame or Medium Format system, they still value the advantages of owning a Fujifilm APS-C system.
At the same time the rise of Fujifilm GFX is slow but steady. And quite frankly, the GFX system would explode and reach immense numbers overnight, if only Fujifilm would make this GFX camera, which Fujifilm has already shown us in its mock-up version. But we got the Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 instead… oh well…
Last but not least, only an additional 3% of FR-readers are “flirting” with other systems and have added a non-Fujifilm system to their lineup (30% in 2021 and now 33%).
