Looking at the Fujifilm FinePix XP30, you wouldn’t initially think that it was a waterproof camera simply because it’s not covered in rubber and plastic. The watertight seals are hidden away with a subtlety of design but on the front are two screws that, in fairness, are probably unnecessary but they make the camera look more set up for underwater use.

The Fuji FinePix XP30 ‘s LCD screen is nice and bright and doesn’t suffer from motion blur or the purple bleeding when it goes over a bright area such as a window. The rear area is covered in a plastic casing with metal only covering small portions of the top, front, bottom and sides.

Fujifilm FinePix XP30 key features:

• 14.2 megapixel resolution
• GPS functionality
• 5x wide optical zoom covering 28-140mm (35mm equivalent)
• CCD shift image stabilisation
• 2.7 inch rear LCD with 230,000 pixels
• Waterproof to 5 metres
• Shockproof up to 1.5 metres
• Freezeproof to –10°C
• Dust/Sandproof]
• Motion Panorama mode
• Available in 5 colours: Black, Silver, Orange, Blue and Green

Designed for outdoors enthusiasts looking for a camera that can take a few knocks, the XP30 is a ruggedly constructed, 14-megapixel, point-and-shoot compact camera that claims to be water proof to a distance of five metres, shock proof up to 1.5 metres, freeze proof to -10 degrees Celsius, and fully sealed against dust and sand.

The XP30 is built around a 14-megapixel 1/3.3-inch CCD sensor that records JPEG images in 4:3 aspect ratio at a maximum resolution of 4320 x 3240 pixels. If card space is scarce, or if you’re shooting for the web then there’s a 7-megapixel Medium setting and a 3-megapixel Small setting to fall back on too.

The FinePix XP30 is ready for anything you can throw it. Thanks to the “4 x Proof protection system”, you’ll be able to keep taking pictures long after conventional cameras have packed in. With its designer riveted front panel and rounded body shape featuring a smart two-tone effect, the XP30 is:

• Waterproof to 5 metres, making it perfect for underwater photography, for taking pictures in heavy rain or snow, or simply for running it under the tap when it gets dirty
• Shockproof up to 1.5 metres, so it’ll handle being dropped or knocked around in a rucksack
• Dust/Sandproof, enabling you to take it to the beach without having to worry about the sand getting into it
• Freezeproof to –10°C, perfect for skiing, snowboarding or any other sub-zero activities

“The XP30 is a jack of all trades, master of none. Its rugged credentials can’t make up for its average image quality and troublesome side-locking door.”

trustedreviews.com reviews writes:

“The XP30 is a keenly priced and stylish addition to the burgeoning tough compact market. Easy to use and thoughtfully laid out in terms of controls it’s capable of decent, if not great, results. The addition of GPS functionality is a fun, if somewhat battery depleting, feature too. Our only real concerns are with lens sharpness and image noise. It’s to be hoped that the next model in the series will address these issues by dropping the megapixel count down to something more manageable. In the meantime, the XP30 is certainly worth a look if you’re in the market for a tough compact on a budget.”

photographyblog.com reviews writes:

“The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 is a good enough camera for the happy snapper that either has kids or enjoys the more extreme side of life and needs a camera that can cope with abuse. For a price point of less than £200 it’s a great little compact to take places thanks to its small size, internal functions and easy to use menu. If you can live with the problems that we experienced throughout the test then you’ll find this camera will meet all of your family’s needs.”

“The Fujifilm FinePix XP20 is a decent extra point-and-shoot for when you need a camera to take some abuse. But if it’s going to be your one and only pocket camera, look elsewhere.”

ephotozine.com reviews writes:

“If you are on a budget but want a camera that is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof, the XP20 ticks the box. You can spend a little more and get the XP30 which has GPS. The camera isn’t going to win any prizes for image quality, and if this is important to you then look elsewhere. But for your money, the XP20 offers images with good colour reproduction which are going to look great on Facebook and Flickr, as long as they haven’t been taken using ISO 3200.“

“The Fujifilm FinePix XP20 is an ok point and shoot style camera, especially if you’re expecting it to take some abuse but if you’re considering this device as your only camera, then it’s not the ideal choice there are better alternatives than this on the market.”

Tracking Auto Focus
Previously featured on Fujifilm’s D-SLR styled FinePix S1500, this new camera features Tracking Auto Focus which is perfect for when you need to take a picture of a moving subject and can’t keep your subject in the frame. Just switch Tracking Auto Focus on and it will track your subject and ensure that you achieve a crisp picture with you subject in the center of the frame in perfect focus.

Fuji Finepix JX250 camera equipped with Smile & Blink Detection
Photos are all too often spoiled by people blinking or grimacing. Smile Detection works with Fujifilm’s highly-acclaimed Face Detection technology to detect smiles on faces: it will not take a picture until it detects a smile, so you’re guaranteed happy shots.

Another new feature is Blink Detection which warns you if you have captured an image with people blinking, so you can re-shoot if necessary.

It’s flexible, and in comparison to someone carrying a D-SLR, you’re able to react quicker and have to carry much less bulk.

Fujifilm’s attention to detail is evident in the electric powered zoom lever which is perfectly located next to the shutter button and is very simple to operate. For the Fuji S4000 Digital Camera, the lens zoom has 45 different steps for you to stop while zooming so you can enjoy the smooth operation. With the promise of world renowned high precision Fujinon optics, you can rest assured that your photos are in excellent hands.

‘Picture quality is good when viewed at a normal distance or seen on a standard size photograph but when they’re zoomed into, it has an effect we can only describe as painted. If you can put up with this then the colours are recorded very nicely and there’s a decent amount of detail too. We’re unsure why the sensor performs like this and it makes us wish that they could put the EXR sensor in all their cameras. Style and features wise, the Fujifilm FinePix S4000 is suitable for photographers who have experience of a DSLR or those who want to experience everything a DSLR can do for them without the cost or weight. Image wise, take a look at the sample pictures in the review and decide for yourself whether you like what the Fujifilm can do for you. We don’t really like it but things like this can be subjective.’

ephotozine.com reviews writes:

“The Fujifilm S3200 packs a huge amount of camera, into quite a large package, but makes up for this with an excellent entry level price. Whilst it may not be as fast as backlit-CMOS sensor based cameras, and noise levels suffer as a result, the S3200 with built in anti-shake makes an appealing camera if price is a concern. The biggest drawback is the camera’s image quality with images showing high levels of barrel distortion (at wide angle), and pincushion (at telephoto), as well as overly sharpened images, this gives white edges around objects where there shouldn’t be white edges. Video is decent, although focusing at the telephoto end can be an issue. Macro performance is reasonably good, although using super macro locks the camera at the wide-angle position. Handling is very good with rubberised grips for both hands.”

“Superzoom cameras are never without compromise, and it’s the FinePix S3200’s low quality LCD, and over-processed images that hold it back. However the camera does still deliver plenty considering its low price point.”
