Review on Fujifilm FinePix XP10 Green Waterproof Camera - 12 MP, 5x Optical Zoom, 2.7-Inch LCD for Enhanced Performance in Any Environment by Kevin Apriando

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It worked great for a few weeks and then died.

I've been looking for a reasonably priced underwater camera for quite some time as I know I'll be out of luck if it doesn't work as I've had good quality service from Revain in the past. I didn't really find it cheaper on ebay, and you can't do anything with ebay's bad return service. Good thing the camera stopped working after about 2 weeks and I have just filled out the online return forms on Revain and will be sending them to the UPS courier for a refund tomorrow morning. Pros: fun, easy to use, used in swimming pools. and snorkeling in Hawaii. Image quality is pretty good for a camera in this price range. I didn't use the video features, so I can't comment on that. I have a slow shutter speed, but once you get used to it, no problem. Cons: Too good to be true, first the display went blank, then it stopped working, luckily it died towards the end of our trip. Unfortunately he got some pretty good underwater shots of sharks, fish and my kids. Never leave the camera deeper than 60 cm under water. The camera's specs say it's up to 3 meters deep - I've never come close to that depth. Main Cons: The design of the memory card slot and the battery slot is in a rather unfortunate position. It has a sealed area for the battery and memory card. However, once you use them, you'll notice that there's a small door just below the shutter button on the bottom of the camera. When I hold such a small camera, my index finger is up - the shutter button and my thumb down - where the door is, I noticed that the little door slides back and forth a little, never opens, just moves slightly when taking the picture ground and the water. Pictures. I don't know if it killed the camera or not. However, he died in the water. The LCD went blank, then stopped filming altogether. It was a great camera for a while, maybe I just got lucky.
