Verdict

The Fujifilm FinePix XP100 is a rugged compact camera featuring a 14.4-megapixel CMOS sensor and a 5x optical zoom lens (28-140mm equivalent) equipped with sensor-shift image stabilisation. Designed for extreme environments, it is waterproof to 10m, shockproof from 2m, freezeproof to -10°C, and dustproof. Its primary advantages include Full HD 1080p video recording, a bright 2.7-inch anti-reflective LCD screen, and a long-life battery capable of approximately 300 shots per charge. However, its small 1/2.3" sensor can limit low-light performance, and the screen has a relatively low resolution of 230,000 dots.
