Fujifilm FinePix XP60 16 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Red)

The FinePix XP60 is a great little camera. I purchased this for my teenage son just before we went on a vacation to Costa Rica. The timing for this particular camera could not have been better. While I was carefully removing my camera from the ziplock bag in the rainforest, my son was diving into a pristine waterfall and taking underwater photos through the crystal clear water of tiny fish. My identically configured Fuji camera seemed suboptimal in comparison in so many ways. It can rain anywhere, and this camera goes anywhere. He also dropped it from horseback, naturally onto a rock, and it was fine - not a stratch. It is so nice to have a camera that you do not have to worry about!The camera is simple to operate and takes great images. The photos from the trip that we had blown up were all taken with this camera which outperformed my camera with identical features but which did not have the water and shock resistance. Something else that I noticed is that direct connection image transfers were much faster from this camera than mine - also a Fugi 16 MP.The zoom feature is very good, and seems to take much better pictures from a distance. His photos of monkeys in the trees were all very crisp and could be enlarged easily. The camera seems to focus better at a distance than mine.I highly recommend using a very large data card in this camera, because you will be much more likely to keep this camera handy in your pocket and use it extensively. I highly recommend this camera.

This is a really good camera for vacation. It takes good pictures and works underwater. I use mine not only on vacation around water, but also for pool parties and other activities during the summer where the is a pool or lake involved. If you buy the floating wrist strap, makes it really easy to keep track of.I have no real issues with the camera - typical controls, easy to use, takes decent pictures. The only real downside is the size - it's a little too big for your pocket - does fit but not so comfortable. That said, it's small enough to carry around and is lightweight.I liked it enough to buy one for my friend for her birthday, so would definitely recommend. I'd just prefer it be a bit smaller.

I was really excited about this camera the first couple times I used it. It took nice photos and was easy to use. I started experiencing problems after a couple uses... The T and W buttons were not working properly. I contacted the seller 3 times, and got no response. I then took the camera on vacation and it stopped working totally. When I got home, I contacted the seller 3 more times, and still got no response. I am now working with Fuji to try to get the camera repaired, but I still never heard back from the seller after 2 months. Very disappointing.

Takes beautiful pictures, I'm the type who photo shops all my pictures but OMG I didn't have to edit and fix any of the pictures I took from this camera, even the under water, pictures were ,very clear, even the pictures I took in the pool of my son who was splashing water all over the place, yet this camera didn't fail me at all, it was amazing to see every drop of water being captured so perfectly, takes beautiful videos too , even under water, the battery life is really good, its a well built water proof strong camera. I suggest to get the Transcend 32GB 10 memory card with this item, I also purchased the accessory kit and WOW everything that comes in it, is a must have with this camera, this camera is the perfect vacation companion and I can give it a 5 stars because I've just come back from vacation and love my videos/pictures, the price is well worth it for something so good like this. I saw a couple of people with this camera too when I was on holiday, and I also saw many many people who were looking at my camera at the water park in the water who didn't have this camera but you could tell they wish they had, I owe this camera for my fun filled perfect trip

I purchased this camera to compliment my Cannon SLR. Let me just say my SLR has me spoiled and this thing is not even in the same league as my $700 SLR, but that's ok. I bought this because I wanted to take pictures in situations where using my SLR could be dangerous (rain, pool, beach, dirty environments) and wanted a smaller camera that I could fit in my pocket easily. Having gone through multiple digital cameras due to water damage, dust, dirt, etc. I decided a waterproof one was needed.First the good, this camera is at home underwater, the pictures it takes are just amazing. I've take it to the beach and on snorkeling trips and it constantly surprises me with the quality of the pictures. It also takes really good pictures in daylight and/or in bright conditions it can almost match the quality I see in my SLR pics in these conditions.Now the bad, throw in shadows or a darker environment and this camera has no clue what to do. Turning on face tracking seems to make it better but it doesn't fix it entirely. I don't think the software in this camera is up to the task of recognizing the environmental conditions and adjusting the hardware accordingly. Often times when taking pictures in medium to low light conditions I have to pick the scene selection manually and/or switch to plain auto mode to get a decent picture.Video on this camera is ok, I haven't played it on my digital TV yet so I couldn't comment on its quality yet.Overall if you want a tough little outdoor point and shoot, its a good camera. It is not suited to all conditions and I wouldn't recommend getting this as your sole camera over a normal point and shoot.
