I chose this model over its "big brother" (FinePix XP200) because it's smaller, lighter, and has longer battery life. I would like the XP200's Wi-Fi connection, but I don't need to record my fish in stereo. None of the cameras can accompany me into the underwater depths. This requires a separate housing to protect against water. If you can dive deeper than 20 feet or so, consider the XP200. It is designed for greater depths than the XP60 but is excellent for surface diving with the occasional deeper dive. I recently took it on a beach trip to Curacao and it lived up to my expectations. I didn't see much of a difference in color rendering between underwater and surface capture modes, but color rendering can be corrected with computer processing. At least this cell didn't leak and you were warned not to open the front door without drying the cell. I followed the warning and had no problems. However, remember that this is an underwater camera with a non-protruding lens behind an optical glass panel. You can probably find cheaper cameras that take pictures as good or even better than the XP60 (especially in terms of contrast and clarity), but they don't swim with you!
