Meet the class of 2022
People around the world cast more than 115,000 votes to induct the Class of 2022—the Fujifilm X-T2, DJI Mavic 3, Fujifilm X100, Nikon Z7 and Leica Q2—to The Photo and Video Kit Hall of Fame.

Find out more about the Inductees below.

Classic
In 2022, more people than ever before voted in the Classic category—and they voted to induct this camera, Fujifilm X-T2.
Fujifilm X-T2
Fujifilm X-T2
When it comes to crop-sensor mirrorless cameras, the Fujifilm X-T2 is surely one of the greatest ever made. Its all-metal body is adorned with intuitive controls that can help any photographer make the most of any scene or subject. This camera looks, feels and acts like an instant Classic.
 
Game Changer
In the Game Changer category in 2022, it was so close between first and second place, with just a thousand votes’ difference in favour of the DJI Mavic 3 drone.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro
Is this what cloud nine looks like? We all know how drones have revolutionised visual storytelling in recent years. Keeping their feet on the ground by building on their genre-busting tech, DJI have their head in the sky with their most recent release, the DJI Mavic 3. This drone in particular just elevates everything to a whole ‘nother level.
Road Tested
In 2022, voting to decide the nominee in the Road Tested category was so close, with the Nikon Z7 gaining just 29% of the votes within its category.
Nikon Z7
Nikon Z7
An absolutely outstanding all-rounder, the Nikon Z7 covers pretty much all your bases. Alongside the Z6, the Z7 was Nikon’s first-ever full-frame mirrorless camera. And what a debut. This camera is responsible for countless Nikon DSLR users making the move to mirrorless.
 
Trendsetter
In the vote to decide the Class of 2022, the Leica was a clear favourite—gaining 7% of the total number of votes from the public.

Leica Q2
Leica Q2
Any street photographer would like a Leica. Especially the Leica Q2. Safe within its weather-sealed body, the full-frame sensor flourishes with the fixed 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens and super-fast autofocus. When you’re seeking to capture candid moments or fleeting encounters, time is of the essence—and this camera fights for every millisecond for you. The deluxe future of street photography.
Iconic
In the 2022 vote to decide the inductee for the Iconic category, this camera gained more votes than all the other Iconic nominees combined.
Fujifilm X100
Fujifilm X100
Kicking off the X100 series a decade ago, the original Fujifilm X100 married the look of visually-pleasing analogue SLRs to the nascent mirrorless technology of its time. And what a result. Still adored by street photographers today, this carry-anywhere camera is a joy to handle and use. Magnificent.
