Review on Fujifilm FinePix XP140 Waterproof Digital Camera with 16GB SD Card - Yellow: Enhance Your Photography Experience by Marcus Dortch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing intro camera for beginners, great waterproof camera for everyone!

Bought this camera for a trip to Maine and carried it on a cotton cord the whole time - everywhere. It's bright enough that I don't notice and turns on quickly enough for me to photograph birds that have landed nearby before they notice us and take off again. Bonus points for separate video and photo capture buttons! Great for quick video capture without having to go into settings! I'm a complete novice photographer - this is my first camera that can't make phone calls - but even I was able to take great photos with this camera. After playing around with some settings, I was able to use Burst mode to capture the perfect wave, Flower mode to make some shaded wild violets look like a magical garden, and zoom in on the sailboat, which retained a lot of detail with the optical zoom! Sprayed several times with no problems. Didn't fall in the water so luckily no dive report but I'm sure it will be fine, the seal on the cargo hatch looks pretty solid. The only "downside" is that many of the settings are in professional camera jargon, so I had to keep looking up what they mean for a bad newbie photographer like me. Conclusion: I'm impressed and I love it.
