“Canon is the most popular choice among the participants, including the winner. Only 2% of the work has been taken in the film “

How important is the type of equipment that is used to make a photograph? The theme is as old as (or more) of the photograph itself and still flock to the debates on the issue more than a few forums ( and conference, workshops …). You think that the photographer is the highest and only creator of the captured images or just a humble servant of his camera, the fact is that often-sometimes for a kind of voyeurism-have the ability to know what equipment was made a ‘image teases more than a few curiosity.

The organization of the newly completed World Press Photo has provided metadata (almost) all images finalists. There are several interesting data that can be drawn from this kind of information. First, the large predominance of DSRL at a time during which the mirrorless segment is growing steadily (even toward the top of the range), almost all of the photos are taken with cameras SLR .

Canon also outperforms Nikon much, its the most used camera ( EOS 1D X ) in absolute terms and also the one with which it is been made the winning shot ( Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 35mm f/1.4L USM F1.4 and an exposure of 1/40 to 10,000 ISO). Leica, perhaps more than any other brand related to photojournalism, was chosen by only 7% of photographers, a little more than those who opted for a Sony. Finally we record as, predictably, in the world of film reportage is now close to total abandonment : only 2% of the images arrive in the final selections have not been made using a digital camera.
