Fujifilm FinePix XP80 Waterproof Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Blue)

Product Information

With HyperSmooth stabilization available across most shooting modes, it’s an ideal tool for recording high-resolution clips in all conditions. Inside the door are the slots for the battery and memory card as well as a micro-HDMI and micro-USB ports.

Be sure the camera is completely dry before inserting or removing batteries or memory cards or connecting the USB or HDMI cable. Many also feature specialized shooting modes which adjust settings for underwater conditions, compensating for factors such as color distortion. Dec 1: Camera Bits, the company behind Photo Mechanic, is pushing back their announced transition to a subscription model.

The optical zoom range can be doubled to 10x with Fujifilm’s Intelligent Digital Zoom technology, while the camera’s Optical Image Stablisation function ensures that any effects from camera shake are minimised.

The viewfinder is nearly impossible to use underwater with goggles, so you can’t really see what you are shooting underwater. Condensation can be removed by leaving the battery-chamber cover open in a location with a steady temperature that is free of heat, humidity, sand, and dust. On the bottom there's a tripod screw thread, and on the right-hand side there's a grippy twist wheel which gives you access to the battery, memory card and USB/HDMI ports. There's a small playback button to view your images and a 4-way controller which also allows quick access to a function of your choice, flash settings, self timer settings, exposure compensation and the ability to delete images. The battery didn't last quite as long as I expected, but I won't really blame the camera for that as I was probably using it more than I realized.The contrast between moving elements and the rest of the image in standstill, accentuates your intended theme effectively. In addition to simple sharing, the Wi-Fi (*7) functionality in the XP70 allows users to back up images to a computer. If the camera is left on the sand, its temperature may exceed operating limits and sand may get into the speaker or microphone. Besides the obvious nostalgia, the Quicksnap 800 Waterproof will go where your smartphone can’t, and still keep shooting.
