Photo & Video in 2026: The Data

The category contracted by 50% compared to 2025, moving from 38 launches to 19. Average interest score across all 2026 launches: 137. Average engagement ratio: 0.32.

Frequently Asked Questions

Products are ranked within their launch year. A 2022 product competes against 2022 launches, not 2025 launches. Use the year navigation to compare how standards evolved.

More products means more competition for attention. The average drops as a category gets crowded, even if the best products keep scoring higher. That divergence is worth watching.

Use the year navigation at the top of each category page. The trends page for each category also shows top products by year in a single view.

Engagement ratio captures discussion quality. A product can game interest with a well-timed launch. It can't fake 200 substantive discussion threads. We default to engagement ratio because it's harder to inflate.

Highest community engagement at launch, measured by interest score and engagement ratio. These are traction rankings, not editorial picks.
