FujiFilm FinePix XP10 (FinePix XP11)

I did not have a "rugged" water-resistant camera to take with me on vacation, so purchased this for that specific task. Camera is well made, with a metal body and simple controls. I normally use Canon compacts, and next to them, the picture quality of the Fuji is very poor, especially in low light conditions. Results are acceptable in well-lit situations, which is where I will be using this camera mostly, so this was a reasonable purchase for me. Problems: Poor video quality, with very poor ...

Easy to use underwater. Fun little camera. Good "knocking around" unit, but image quality holds it back from serious image making. Linking several video clips into one long clip is a good feature.

Bought this because it looked rugged. Actually works in the water. Problems: Next to impossible to take pictures in bright sunlight or in the dark.

USB only works with a good battery. No power through USB. Not compatible with Picture viewer on Sony PS3
