Yes, I think that has a lot to do with it.. that said, this is touted as an underwater camera so I would have hoped it could cope better with low-light focusing?

Fast and accurate autofocus in low light requires PDAF. To the best of my knowledge, there are only a handful of compact cameras on the market that implement it, and none of them are in the XP130's price bracket - Sony RX100 V/VA/VI and RX1R II, Canon G1 X III, Ricoh GR III, Fujifilm XF10, and... I think that's it.

The images are OK.. but struggling with focus lock was annoying.

Looks pretty much par the course with iffy visibility and natural light. Getting closer generally helps, but as far as I can see, there is no obvious way to mount a wet wide lens on this camera.
