Last week the World Press Photo contest announced its winning photos for 2014. Spanish website Quesabesde broke down EXIF data for the 38 (out of 45) images that contained camera information and determined Canon was by far the most popular camera brand used to capture the images.
Of the 38 winning photos, 23 were taken with Canon cameras. Seven of the images were shot with Nikon cameras. Olympus was used for two shots, then all the others were tied at one, including the iPhone.
When you break it down even further, the 5D Mark iii was the clear leader, being used to capture 11 of the images. Canon's flagship 1DX was next capturing six images. Canon's old but trusty 5D Mark ii captured four of the pictures and all of the other camera bodies on the list only captured one image each.
While some people are jumping on this kind of information to say Canon is clearly the better camera manufacture, I think it is simply the fact that Canon has more camera out their being used. I am a Canon shooter, but I can't say Canon is far superior to other cameras on the market right now. But I will definitely use this information to give my Nikon shooting friends a hard time.
