Of course this isn't stock, but it is relevant. Without going to look at the details, Fuji and Sony are making gains on Canon and Nikon.

Full-frame still dominates, making up 73.8% of the winning images, with APS-C coming in second at 16.7%

Hmm, I don't see any phones in this list.  ::)

Usually i don't care for gear but this is so great artistic imagery!
Oh, wait, that was supposed to be raw photojournalism, right?
:P

Yes, and before someone else gets to it, the photographer takes the photo, not the camera. Photojournalism, you have to be at the right spot at the right time. There is skill and creativity involved, but everything is not the the same as artistic or stock, or any other types and styles.

Just more of what cameras are professional people using. Sony and Fuji mirrorless are making gains into the professional world.
