What we don't like about Fujifilm FinePix XP50

  • Poor overall image quality compared to other cameras in its category
  • Slow performance, specifically long shutter lag and slow focus times
  • Short battery life, rated at approximately 220 shots per charge
  • Durability issues reported by some users, including corrosion and camera failure
  • Low-resolution LCD display and lack of modern connectivity like Wi-Fi

Verdict

The Fujifilm FinePix XP50 is a rugged compact camera featuring a 14.4-megapixel CMOS sensor and a 5x optical Fujinon zoom lens with a 28-140mm equivalent focal range. Designed for adventure, it offers 'Four-Way Protection' that makes it waterproof up to 5 metres, shockproof from drops of 1.5 metres, freezeproof down to -10°C, and fully dustproof. Key pros include its ability to record Full HD 1080p video at 30fps, CMOS-shift image stabilisation for reduced blur, and a bright 2.7-inch LCD with an anti-reflective coating. However, notable cons include a relatively dim maximum aperture of f/3.9-4.9, a modest battery life of approximately 220 shots, and a lack of manual exposure controls or RAW support.
