It’s time for a massive Fujifilm GFX roundup. There is really A LOT to see and read below. Have fun.
From Kolarivision, that disassembles the Fujifilm GFX and offers full spectrum conversion, to stories on why photographers pick the Fujifilm GFX system leaving Sony FF or other systems.
Ready? Then check it out all down below.
With the Fujifilm X-T4 about to hit the market (and actually already shipping in some), Fujifilm managers all over the globe are giving tons of interviews to make the world ready for the best camera it has ever seen to date: the Fujifilm X-T4 :).
Of course, I pre-ordered it, too :)
Now, for your convenience, I always provide a practical summary of all manager statements in my various article, and yet, with so many interviews, there might be some statements you might have missed anyway.
So I thought I filter out those statements, that I consider most relevant, and put them all into this article.
However, there is so much more interesting stuff to read, and so I strongly recommend you to check out all the original articles. I will provide all links below.
Ok, this is a mandatory update to our previous post World Press Photo Award post here.
In our previous article, based on the statistics made by thephoblographer, we reported how most of this years’s award winners used Fujifilm and Nikon cameras. ThePhoBlographer writes:
The big winners are Fujifilm and Nikon in terms of camera manufacturers.
More specifically, these were the Fujifilm cameras used: Fujifilm X-H1, X-T3, X-Pro2, GFX100, X100F, X100T, X100S, X100, X-T10)
I was thrilled about it, and reported about it here. And I trusted the great guys over at thephoblographer, who keep delivering great content for the photography community. Honestly I didn’t check it by myself, as today its my birthday, and I have a day planed with my wife at home, cooking and (a bit) drinking ;).
But it turns out, as our fellow FR-readers noticed, the real statistics are a bit different than the one shared at the thephoblographer.
Fujifilm and Nikon are still strongly represented.
In fact, the most prestigious award for the best “General News” image was taken by Yasuyoshi Chiba with his Fujifilm X-H1.
But the most used camera brand overall, was still a Canon.
And yet, year after year, Fujifilm saw a constant rise in terms of awards at the World Press Photo contest. DSLR a constant decline. And yes, it really looks like APS-C is more than enough to take an image worth one of the most prestigious awards on the world.
Maybe, one day, even some popular vlogger like Mr. Jared will be able to take some decent shots with APS-C cameras ;).
Now the ranking:
Camera by brand:
Canon 31,37%
Fuji 17,65%
Nikon 15,69%
Sony 9,80%
DJI 3,92%
Leica 1,96%
Unknown 19,61%
Camera by sensors:
FullFrame 58,82%
APS-C 15,69%
Medium Format 1,96%
Unknown 23,53%
Camera by type:
SLR 43,14%
Mirrorless 33,33%
Drone 3,92%
Unknown 19,61%
Last year Fuji was 10.5%, now is 17.6%, mirrorless was 13% and now is 33%…
This year Fujifilm won the top award. But also in the past years, Fujifilm was well represented. Look at the awards won in the past few years:
And now, here are the most used cameras this year.
UPDATE: we posted a follow up article with corrections here.
The World Press Photo have been assigned, and looking at the cameras, who snapped an award winning photo, we see that Fujifilm wins along with Nikon.
Yasuyoshi Chuba took the World Press Photo of the Year 2020 winning image with his Fujifilm X-H1.
Spilt by type of camera, we see:
So, we have a head to head between Fujifilm and Nikon.
Fujifilm seems to be a very popular system or photojournalists, with the X100 line leading the pack.
Thanks to the phoblographer for making the list. And check out the images at world press photo.
