p.1 #1 · 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners' camera bodides + lenses data


I had the pleasure of visiting the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit today and I also picked up the hardcover portfolio book. 98 images. I thought I would do a quick write down of the gear used and list out the most popular systems. I know that the winners have been announced for a while, but I finally had time to wind down this month to visit the exhibit. All the images are available online here. You could also look at the EXIF data and look for the most popular lenses.


For the raw numbers on the systems used by winners/highly commended,the breakdown is as follows:
Nikon-39
Sony - 17
DJI-9
Olympus/OM - 4
Fuji- 4
Canon - 23
Vivo - 1 (smartphone)
X-ray machine - 1

However, 3 categories included a portfolio of 6 images, so I subtracted 5 from the count of the companies to reduce the 6 image portfolio bias. Note that certain photographers had won multiple times in a given category, but because those images are judged on their merit as a solo image, I've decided not to reduce the system count.


After subtraction for portfolio bias:
Nikon-35
Sony - 12
DJI-4
Olympus/OM - 4
Fuji- 4
Canon - 23
Vivo - 1
X-ray machine - 1

Looking at the general trends. Aperture tends to be no wider than 2.8 very often. Zooms are very popular. Primes are popular for macro photography which is obvious. I'm not super familiar with all the brands models and lenses so I invite others to comment on anything interesting they notice.

In this instance it's actually the same person for all 3 Z9s, Jamie Start. I think she might have been the person to have the most solo submissions as part of the gallery (on top of being the overall category winner).

Boy do you have a lot of time on your hands.

Pretty well most of the winning photographers could have still won their category using any of the other gear. Then of course are the 99% of wildlife photographers that never entered that contest.

On average, people spend/waste 2-2.5 hours per day on social media and 6.5-7 hours per day on the Internet.
I appreciate that he has devoted such time to obtaining data and providing information.

I made similar statistics for 2024 WPYC for sensor size, resolution, kind of camera & brand. I didn't correct data for portfolios et similia. I plotted the results:



I made several comparisons over the years too:

Ripolini: Glad I'm not the only one that thought of going down this weird rabbit hole. It is interesting!

Imagemaster: Missing the forest for the trees. I hope you know that you are lacking in basic decorum. You first start off your comment with a personal jab that is neither warranted or necessary (really, just keep it to yourself and the message remains the same). Then you follow up with the weakest argument while pointing out the obvious. Let me draw a parallel.

I say:
"Most of the winners of the Boston Marathon wore Nike shoes, isn't that interesting? Let's gather data on all the runners in the top 100."

To which you reply:
"Yeah but lets be real, any of those top 100 runners would have placed regardless of their shoe brand. Lets not forget about the other 99% of runners in the world too!"

And you're pointing this out on a forum dedicated to running, under the section "General Gear-Talk" or whatever the equivalent would be. Do you walk into car conventions or award ceremonies and spout off about how what brand of car you drive really doesn't matter? In some semantic ways you are not wrong, but it seems like you can't read the room.

Hey, if you or others find all that data interesting, great.

Bottom line is that it was the photographers' skill that was more important than the gear.

Sorry about that shattering personal jab. Did not know you have no sense of humor. Or maybe it is just the Toronto weather.

Actually I have all 35 Portfolio books, starting with Portfolio One from 1991 up to the latest one (Portfolio 35, 2025 edition).
This small library provides an insight into the evolution of nature photography over the last thirty-five years, and since each image has always been accompanied by technical data, we can also understand the evolution of the tools used for wildlife/macro/landscape photography, both from a technical and commercial point of view.

It is obvious that the photographer remains the most important element in obtaining a high-quality image (otherwise it would not appear among those awarded and recommended at the WPYC). Just as it is obvious that a good pianist would play more than well on any instrument. Strange, however, that Steinway and Fazioli pianos are used in concerts and recording studios...
Returning to the data, what emerges is that Canon's monopoly (king of AF in the film era) has declined, and that Nikon has gradually grown over time, catching up and often surpassing everyone else. Sony has emerged, but it is not the prevailing photographic system when considering the pinnacle of nature photography. DSLRs continue to be used, and 24 Mpix is still more than enough in a world that has reached 60 Mpix.
Many other considerations and more detailed analyses could be made, but there is not enough time here.

Ditto

The reputation of both pianos and cameras can keep the belief that they are the best for many years after newer ones have been proven to be better.

Not my opinion:

Top piano choices in 2025 include the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-885 for best overall digital, Kawai CA901 for authentic feel, and Steinway & Sons for premium acoustic, alongside high-end options from Bösendorfer and Sauter. Top-tier digital grands are led by the Yamaha N3X AvantGrand and Roland GP9.

Of course unlike cameras or other musical instruments, pianos are not the easiest object to move from location to location.

Wow what a collection. National History Museum's gallery only dates back to 2010. I would love to see the books from folio one onward.

Using the system count accounting for portfolio bias, 2025 looks like:
Nikon: 42%
Canon: 27%
Sony: 14%
Other Systems: 14% (Fuji+DJI/Hasselblad+OM)
Novelty: 2% (Smartphone + X-ray)

Looks vaguely similar to 2024. I find it interesting that Sony was only at 5% in 2020, and now they've basically tripled their presence at the expense of Canon.

To restate the most important and obvious conclusion concisely: Good photographers make great photographs using a very wide range of gear of all types and from every manufacturer you’ve heard of.

Yes, since 2020, the book has been published by the NHM. In the previous ten years, the book was published by BBC. Portfolios One to Ten were published by Fountain Press (in my collection, I have the German edition of Portfolios Two and Nine, published by Tecklenborg Verlag; I don't remember why, but probably because they were cheaper than the British edition):

It is rather surprising to note that Nikon seems to be the brand of choice for many nature photographers (or least those who take outstanding pictures ) for several years now. I guess the choices made in terms of new cameras and lenses, along with the brand's reputation and service, have contributed to this result, although limited to what I imagine is a rather niche market.
If you look at my graph above, you will notice that the resolution distribution function (Mpix) is bimodal, with two modes, one at 18-24 Mpix, the other at 37-47 Mpix. This suggests that cameras with 18-24 Mpix are still widely used and perfectly capable of producing outstanding images. There is a reason why I have stuck with 24 Mpix for years
It would be interesting to see if the use of high-res (> 36 Mpix) cameras increased or not in 2025 with respect to 2024.
As for Sony, I would like to point out that 1) it does not manufacture DSLR cameras, which are still in use, and 2) it is easier to triple small figures (from 5% to 15%) than double-digit percentages (Nikon and Canon).

They should have included CT, MRI, and PET maybe not just X-Ray?

All the results show is about what the judges are looking for more than anything else.
Much of that gear is not very good or modern. Some I'd have junked by the 2020s.
And even with the better gear some are at ridiculously small apertures where the lens won't perform well.

In ALL photographic competitions the selection of winning images is made *subjectively* by the judges.
It's very unlikely that the judges select pictures on the basis of the gear used: they don't know who took the pictures and technical data. Therefore, considering the huge number of pictures submitted to WPYC every year, the gear utilized to take winning and commended images should have a statistical (unbiased) relevance in terms of brand, resolution (Mpix), etc.
Moreover, we are not discussing here about the quality of the images. The quality is there and everybody can see it.
It's like Academy Awards; the best film isn't necessarily liked by everyone. That doesn't take away from the fact that the movie has qualities that are well above average.

Please, provide figures: how many picture were taken with "not very good or modern" gear??
10%? 50% ?
Anyway, let's assume that your statement is correct; this implies that we do not need the latest and most updated camera or lens to take very good pictures. Many "outdated" cameras are still excellent in term of overall performance and quality of large prints we can make from files.
We all should be aware that manufacturers like Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc. continually introduce high-end cameras and lenses, which create new possibilities and set industry standards, stimulating demand for new "updated" equipment. However, looking at recent years, I'm not so sure that pictures taken today are *better* than those taken 5-10 years ago.
Serious and pro photographers select gear not only on the basis of resolution (Mpix, lp/mm of lenses, etc.). There are several other contributing factors (brand reputation, quality of service, availability of spare parts ...).

Diffraction is an overestimated issue.
I shoot my 14-30 @ f/16 for sunstars, thus sacrificing lines/mm. Who cares? The lens has quite remarkable flare resistance and very few ghosts, performing better than some UWA primes ...
The same applies to my Zeiss ZF.2 21/2.8: when I want to get sunstars, I have to close to at least f/16, which is certainly not the aperture at which it has maximum resolution.
Now, if - for example - Marc Costermans took the picture @ f/13 (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2025-sunrise-hop?tags=ed.current), well, he must have had his reasons; for example, he may have wanted to make the background and therefore the environment where the black grouse live sufficiently legible. For the *nature photographer*, this was perhaps much more important than a few extra lines per millimeter....
Similarly, the Frolicking Frogs by Quentin Martinez (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2025-frolicking-frogs?tags=ed.current) were photographed at f/16 obviously to have enough depth of field. He used 4 flashes with homemade softbox to perfectly light the scene.
I bet the two photographers I mentioned above do not always use small apertures ...

Again, kind of proving my point: Photographers with vision and skill make great photographs using a wide range of gear of almost every type from every manufacturer.

Those looking for “The Best Gear” by counting which brands and models are getting the most awards in some contest are barking up the wrong tree.
