Fully featured Fujifilm Boasting Fujifilm’s latest X-Trans sensor plus a host of exciting features, the X-T30 is destined for great things

Following in the footsteps of a big- selling camera is always a challenge, but there’s no doubt the Fujifilm X-T30 has all the attributes to make it as popular as its predecessor, the X-T20. At the X-T30’s heart is the 26.1- megapixel APS-C format X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 image processor. This is the same combination found in the X-T3, the winner of the Professional CSC Camera category in our Awards 2018. There is also a new AF system on board that features a frame-filling on-sensor phase detection system that gives great performance down to -3EV. The body also has a focus lever for fast focus point selection. The X-T30, priced at £899 with the XC15-45mm lens and £1199 with the XF18-55mm, is available in black or silver now, with charcoal silver available from May. Find out more in this issue with our first look on the Fujifilm X-T30. See also page 3 for more Fujifilm news.

The Canon EOS RP offers the chance to go full-frame on a budget. This 26.2-megapixel camera is also Canon’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera to date. Priced at £2329 for the EOS RP body, the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R and the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. See page 3 for more on this exciting camera. Canonoffers full-frame tonewbies

Outdoor Photographer of the Year winners announced

This year’s competition saw over 20,000 entries, the highest number of entries in the eight years that the Outdoor Photographer of the Year competition has been running for. Robert Birkby from the UK bagged himself the overall winning title, as well as winning the Light in the Land category. Detailing his shot, taken near Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, Robert said “Much of the higher ground in the South Pennines is relatively featureless, but these sheep had found shelter between a snowdrift and a dry stone wall. The conditions during this storm were some of the worst I’ve

encountered and the gale force wind was driving snow straight at me. I used my trusty 50mm lens with its small front element, cupping my left hand around it as a makeshift lens hood. Holding the camera still in the wind was difficult, so I used a fast shutter speed to keep things sharp and capture the falling snowflakes.” Speaking of the competition, head judge Steve Watkins, editor of Outdoor Photography magazine, said: “The judges were blown away by the quality of work that we looked at this year. It shows that the world of outdoor photography is thriving like neverbefore, thanks to thehardwork,

fresh thinking and deep passion brought by the photographers. There were so many outstanding images and it was incredibly tough to boil it all down to the final selection; those photographs that had an extra edge and impact to them, in terms of creative or technical expertise, or both. The competition is going from strength to strength, with the quality bar being raised each year.” TheYoungOutdoor Photographer of the year was named as Riccardo Marchegiani from Italy, with his shot of Simien National Park, Ethiopia, with Anya Burnell from the UK

City & Cripplegate extends its hand across the sea

Keen to maintain the special relationship it is forging with friends across the pond, City of London & Cripplegate PS (COLCPS) has repeated its competition with the Camera Club of Hendersonville (CCOH) in North Carolina, USA. This friendly competition started in 2017 because the clubs have two members who attend both, depending on which country they are in. “We have called it ‘Hands across the sea’,” says COLCPS chair Natalie Robinson. “It provides a great opportunity to pit our creative skills against our American friends and see how we both approach a photographic theme. “The rules are that each club provides five images in four

but in the final selection each member can have only one image per category. “In 2017 COLCPS chose the categories and provided the judge; CCOH came out on top and we contributed the winning image in one category. “In 2018 it was the turn of CCOH to choose a judge and decide on the categories, which were: dramatic light; motion; urban life; and weather. This time we came out on top (hurrah!) and our members’ images were winners in three categories, with a joint winner in the fourth. “With the honours now even in this friendly competition, we are hoping that it will continue for a number of years yet”.

February saw the annual Fosse Inter Cities PDI trophy. This is a four image event which this year had entries from 16 clubs across the Midlands and was judged by Peter Yeo FRPS. Earl Shilton emerged in first place – actually, joint first with Leicester Forest PS – scoring 75 from a possible 80. From Earl Shilton CC’s four entries, Jules Holbeche-Maund received the Gold Medal for her image ‘White Feathered Goddess’ and Ian Waite achieved a highly commended for ‘The Scamp’ – both scored the top mark of 20. The other images were ‘Vestrahorn’ by Phil Mallin scoring 18 and ‘Swooping falcon’ by Peter Lawrance scoring 17. Earl Shilton CC also has a presentation night on the 29 May at the Mary Forryan Centre in Hinckley with Charlie Waite. Tickets are available from Earl Shilton CC’s website. Earl ShiltonCC

Awards

Gear of the Year Photography News Awards 2018 The competition is over, the votes have been counted and the results are in. Discover what Photography News readers consider to be the best imaging kit available over the next three pages. It’s a top gear fest! WINNERS

Photography is very much about workflow – and the Photography News Awards 2018 reflect that accordingly. We beginwith the capture categories, which includes the expected cameras and lenses, but also covers memory cards, tripods, filters, bags and lighting. Once you have your images, you need to do something with them, so we recognise that with our categories for software, colour management kit and monitors. After you have worked on your images, you need to output them. We all know most pictures stay on hard drives or get posted online, but there is nothing like holding a lovely print; thus we have awards for printers and inkjet media.

Fromumpteen product categories, it doesn’t seem fair to highlight any particular winner, but we’re going to anyway. The Innovation Award went to the L-Mount Alliance between Leica, Panasonic and Sigma. Major brands collaborating isn’t especially innovative and it probably happens all the time at some level, but we just don’t know about it. The L-Mount alliance with two major brands such as Panasonic and Sigma adopting the lens mount of another, Leica, is less usual, but it makes sense. Panasonic has already announced two mirrorless full-frame cameras (the Lumix S1R test is in this issue) and Sigma has recently unveiled an 11 prime lens line-up

using the L-Mount (see page 3). It would be a major surprise if L-mount products don’t figure prominently in the 2019 awards. Medium format digital is never going to be massmarket, but there is no doubt Fujifilmhas made the joys of bigger images more affordable than ever with its GFX system. This year’s winning medium format camera is the GFX 50R and, while its sensor and processor are known quantities, packaging it in a different and more compact body and with handling reminiscent of its old roll-film cameras has definitely attracted plaudits. Enjoy, and thank you for supporting the awards. It is, as always, massively appreciated.

The power of prints Print and savewith the EpsonEcoTank ET-7750

Photography is a linear process, from pre- visualisation and capture through to editing, ultimately ending in something tangible: a print. There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying a pile of prints after a shoot or trip, and producing those prints at home only intensifies the experience. It is stating the obvious, but enjoying your creativity on-screen is essentially free, while making prints costs money. The printer itself is a significant initial investment but over time it is the cost of consumables that hurts. The Epson EcoTank ET-7750 is an all-in- one A3 printer/copier/scanner unit offering cartridge-free printing with its easy-to-refill, five-colour inks selling for £699.99. The ET- 7750 is one of several models in the EcoTank family and it offers up to A3 output. Set-up is quick and easy – all you have to do is fill each cartridge from the supplied ink. It’smostlymess-free – although I managed to spill a few drops of ink so it’s worth having some kitchen towel handy and perhaps some newspaper under the ink tank area to preserve your tabletop. The printer comes with two bottles of each colour ink and there is a spare maintenance tank too (one is supplied already fitted). Once the tanks are filled, it is a matter of initialisation (which gives you time for a cuppa) and connecting to

Epson will be demonstrating the EcoTank ET-7750 along with its full range of fine art printers and media at The Photography Show, 16-17 March at the NEC, stand E81. Epson at The Photography Show

your network. There are Ethernet and USB interfaces available if you prefer hardwiring but getting the unitworkingwirelessly is easy. The EcoTank ET-7750 suits a range of media including Epson Photo Paper Glossy. Generic ICC profiles were not available for this printer so you have several options: let the printer manage colours, try sRGB or Adobe RGB through Photoshop or make your own. I tried all three with a good level of success notably with colour images. Perhaps not surprisingly prints via my homemade profile usually looked the best but the same files outputted via Photoshop and sRGB looked very good too and on occasion looked superior. The Photoshop/sRGB combination worked very well on the papers where I didn’t bother to make a custom profile. My monochromes, while acceptable, were a little short of what I’d like, but then my usual Epson printer, the SC-P800, has several black inks. Deep shadows and blacks looked fine but mid-tones lacked depth and tonal smoothness and several monochromes came out with delicate colour casts.

In use, the printer was quiet and fast. An A3 print took about two minutes and out of 30 prints, I had two misfeeds. I tried topping the ink tanks up to full just to check that the process was simple – it was. Verdict The Epson EcoTank ET-7750 is a capable photo printer and the proposition it offers – photo-quality output with low running costs – is very tempting. The fact that it also scans and copies is an added bonus. At £699.99 the ET-7750’s initial investment is higher than Epson’s dedicated A3+ printers – the SC- P600sells at £549while the SC-P400 is £454 – but produce prints in good numbers and the extra cost is soon recouped. If running costs has deterred you from home printing, Epson’s ET-7750 could be the answer.
