As the world and technology are changing, photographers change their habits and choice of gear for the job. And surely a lot has happened in the industry over the past decade or so. Mirrorless cameras have exploded in popularity, many major manufacturers have had issues (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic), and Olympus even sold its business. So, what is the No. 1 choice for photographers when it comes to camera brands and models?

Folks over at Shotkit decided to find out. They surveyed 1,000 photographers to answer the question: What camera do amateur and professional photographers use in 2022? They say that the results surprised them, and honestly, some of them surprised me as well.

MPB, the world’s biggest retailer of used photography gear recently took a survey on unused tech in people’s homes. I mean, it makes sense, they’re a used good retailer, so they want to know how much potential inventory is out there. Despite having a presence in both the USA and the UK, MPB’s survey only covers the UK, but their research states that 53% of adults in the UK have a camera they don’t use.

According to their survey, 83% of UK adults have at least one piece of unused tech in their home and almost two-thirds of adults have never sold their old tech when they no longer need it. When it comes specifically to camera gear, the average value of unused kit is £293.50 (~$360). Extrapolated out to the population as a whole, that equates to a whopping £19 billion or around $23 billion.

This Research Shows The Top 100 Photographers On The Web. US Humans Of NY Wins Big Time

Here are some interesting statistics. This survey checks for the reach of photographers on the web. It does so, by looking at each photographer’s Web Popularity Index (WPI). This index mixes the three key factors of the social web: reach, interaction with users, and external references. To do so WPI analyzes “fans, followers and subscribers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr, 500px and other social networks, ratios for interaction with subscribers, fans and followers, as well as references for the photographers’ publications”. The site does not share how much each of those components contribute to WPI or even how some of the indexes were concluded. Yet, being who we are, there are now metrics on the table and we can not ignore them.

Is this a good way to see who is a good photographer? I think not. In fact I am not even sure that this is a good way to check who is the most influential photographer, as influence works not just by reach by also by who you are reaching. But, this does measure who has the most presence online and this by itself is an interesting index. (on a side note, 20 years ago, everybody on that index would rate 0).
