It couldn't be more simple to take great pictures
The quality of the FinePix XP170 becomes obvious before you've even pressed the shutter release, with improved start up and faster focusing times over previous FinePix XP models, you'll never miss a shot. What's more, the wide 5x Fujinon optical zoom lens comes with a water repellent coating to prevent water droplets spoiling your shots and even the battery/memory cover comes with a double lock for ultimate protection from the elements.
The 2.7-inch LCD is also now brighter than previous models and has an anti-reflection coating that makes it easy to compose images, even when you're in bright sunshine.
Superb quality videos
These cameras will also appeal to budding movie makers. The FinePix XP170 has Full HD 1080p video capture at 30fps and with the underwater video function you can capture life under the waves in superb quality.
Watching your videos back on an HD ready TV is simple too, thanks to the micro HDMI connection that allows a quick, simple hook-up for instant reviews.
Long lasting performance
If you're out and about, don't forget the FinePix XP170 comes with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which is capable of delivering approx 300 pictures for every single charge.

All cameras can take great photos in sunny outdoor settings, the challenges occur when you break from this. Indoors, the camera has fairly average shots and struggles in under lit rooms, similar to how you would expect a mobile phone cam to operate. However, it does have a trick up its sleeve, one "pro low light" mode, which can seemingly take multiple shots in low light and stitch (like layering paint to get a brighter finish) them to make a clear photo. It even works without blurring when the targets move significantly, like animals and children. Very Impressive! The flash mode is not great. You are better off using the mode mentioned above. Image quality: it's nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about either.
There are a whole host of the pre-set style modes for taking pictures, like flowers, party, some interesting looking underwater modes, but an auto mode lets the camera decide which mode to use. Mostly it does this well. Face detection is hit and miss, and doesn't add anything obvious to a photo as far as I can see. Some clever self timer modes, like waiting until 2 or more people are in the scene before taking a shot sound great, but I couldn't get them working reliably.
One of the big features of this camera is its ruggedness.... Read more ›
Not a good buy on any level then if you can't trust it not to break
Waterproof to 10m/33ft and they've used a coating on the camera lens to prevent drops of water from building up and spoiling the shot.
Freeze proof to -10c/14f.
Dustproof.
Shockproof 2m/6.6 feet.
There's a battery charger included and you can choose to charge the battery in or out of the camera.
I've used the FinePix for a few months and I've taken it into the sea on a family holiday, thrown it around on the beach, allowed my grandkids to use it, without too much fear of breakage if they drop it, and it's still working exactly as it should though I have to be honest and say that I've had some of the worse quality images from the FinePix than from any of my other cameras. It does have a habit of taking grainy, blurred snaps no matter how much I tweek the software and particularly struggles with indoor photography under artificial lighting.
However; I suppose my biggest negative would have to be that the FinePix is really a bit of a gimmick. It allows you to process images from your phone to the internet via a wireless facility in the camera. Couldn't be any more simple to do; download a Fuji app onto your phone, take a photo, place camera near phone, press a button and the image appears on your phone within seconds ready for you to send directly to the internet. Sounds great but; at the moment you can only process one image at a time through the wireless facility. Multiple images are processed much faster if you do it the traditional way, USB cable from camera to PC, saves stacks of time and can be done with a much cheaper, waterproof camera without a wireless facility.
That's really all I have to say.... Read more ›
