The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) has just announced its 2020 TIPA World Award results, which seeks to recognize the best photography-related gear of 2020.

The winners include a mix of cameras, lenses, post-processing software, tripods, flashes, and more, all honored in categories tailored to 2020 photography interests and needs.

Awards were determined by representatives of TIPA’s member magazines. Note that TIPA magazines are a diverse collection of imaging-related publications from across the globe, including:

While TIPA awards are normally determined by an in-person body of magazine representatives, this year’s judging process proceeded differently (due to COVID-19 concerns). Instead of taking place in a Las Vegas assembly, voting was done online.

The TIPA chairperson explained:

We believe that now more than ever our support of the industry and the people who work so hard, be it in production, distribution, or marketing, deserve credit and our thanks and appreciation for their efforts to continue to develop new and exciting products and grow into the future. Of course, while the process of nomination and selection of award winners had to adapt to the circumstances, we maintained our usual rigorous standards in our considerations.

Read on to discover TIPA’s choices for the best camera gear of 2020.
