Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great fun camera! Like XP130.

Clearly not a professional camera. But it is a wonderful "outdoor, all-weather and diving camera". This camera is always with me, even when I'm wearing my professional gear. I live in north Idaho. We have a lot of rain and snow. Most of my work is related to street photography. It's great for working closely together in a crowd. I used to have a Fuji XP90. Now I have XP120 and now XP130. My grandchildren love the XP120. It's fairly kid-safe and a great camera for kids to learn. If you want better photos, I recommend "adjusting" the camera. Almost all consumer cameras can be customized. Here's how to set up the XP130. Select "SHOOTING MODE" and then "P" mode PROGRAM AE. Scroll down to ISO and select AUTO 400. Images tend to fall apart at ISO 400. IMAGE SIZE: 4.3. Select IMAGE QUALITY: HIGH. Finally select FinePixCOLOR: CHROME Normal camera settings produce an image file size of 1.50 MB to 3 MB. When you set up the camera, the file size increases to 8MB. Good lighting for clear images. (Most cameras.) Scale is sometimes blurry when zoomed in. Make sure you have enabled STABILIZATION SETUP. The focus is sometimes blurred. others depending on what you are photographing. Attached are some quick photos I took. You can have fun with this camera. The XP130 has lots of fun settings to experiment with and explore. .
