Review on 📷 Fujifilm FinePix XP10: 12MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom, 2.7" LCD - Black by Michael Willis

Bought this camera for a recent trip to Brazil. Easy to use, takes LARGE daytime photos and close-up night shots with flash. Doesn't work well for long distance night shots (horizon, etc.). Bright daytime shots are great. The camera is waterproof, I've swum with it, run in the rain, turned the AC on and off and never fogged up. A nice feature is the clear glass that covers the lens and is easy to wipe clean with a t-shirt. There is also a video recording feature that works pretty well. Check out the fireworks video posted here, taken with the FUJI XP10. The battery is good, charged in a day. Charges in about 45 minutes. I accidentally dropped it a few times, once on a ceramic tile floor, it still works. Battle scar on the torso, that's all. Tried all settings and chose AUTO. Let the camera decide what to do. What I really liked was that the delay between pressing the button and the moment the picture is taken is MUCH faster than previous cameras I've had. You get the recording you want. In general, for such money - a good offer. Pros: Small, fits in back pocket of blue jeans, turns on quickly, takes great daytime photos, waterproof, shockproof, decent DVR, easy to use. Cons: Not very good at close range. Maybe all digital cameras are like that, I don't know. Close-ups with flash are great. Warning for the whole family: The video talks about drunkenness, the word "drunk" is used. ****** UPDATE ****** July 2012 as careful use he died. :(I don't know what happened but on my 3rd trip to Jamaica with this camera it stalled. No leak ok memory card was fine pictures were. Encouraged they did me a great service for 125 Dollars done. I hate this guy who destroys cell phones after 4-6 months of cell phone insurance, rest my dear operator friend.
