Within this Marine Photography Guide, we have a great unique evaluation of the Fuji FinePix XP30 Water-proof Camera...
I just bought a Fuji Waterproof XP30 digital camera for a small and lightweight digital camera designed for each day use. I do possess a couple of semi-professional cameras, however this specific one looked small enough to carry it around with me on a regular basis. And since I actually do travel a great deal I imagined that Fuji XP30 digital cameras' GPS navigation Geo-tagging capability would make my photos tagging faster and much easier. This brought me to my first frustration with Fuji XP30:
I still haven't figured it out the way to tag the photos with real place names, and I'm not really the newbie in terms of water-resistant cameras. All I got was a list with the regional locations (latitudes and longitudes). On the positive side, the quality of the pictures captured while using the Fuji XP30 Digital Camera is very excellent, even if used as an idiot camera by using automatic settings.
If the GPS navigation location problem was in fact the only one I'd state that this Fuji camera is really well worth the dollars I paid for it ( around 150$), but there is an even greater difficulty: the battery of a XP30 digital camera operates really quickly, in the matter of hours. You could make it survive a little longer should you switch off your GPS location browsing, however you will still require an additional battery in order to work with it for more than 4-5 hours. To make the problem a whole lot worse, the Fuji XP30 digital camera activated unintentionally in my pocket more than once and the battery was already drained even before I got down to take my first photo.
The nice thing about Fuji XP30, whenever used for out-of-doors activities, is that this digital camera is really sturdy and it in all probability will not break the very first time it accidentally slips from your hand and strikes the ground. In reality, I did have a number of episodes and I can't find a single scratch on it. For the waterproof part, I primarily evaluated the Fuji XP30 camera in the sea up to 2 meters and also under the shower (to wash the sea salt off) and seemed to be perfect. The size of Liquid crystal display is actually 2.7", which is good enough, but their guarantee of anti-reflective display that can be used even in the bright sunshine showed clearly not to be correct.
The Auto-focus function and image stabilization of Fuji XP30 digital camera to take the picture of moving objects did the trick really well. I tried it while taking the pictures of the kids riding their bikes and every time the picture was nicely focused and razor-sharp.
Taking the videos with Fuji XP30 camera is easy and the standard of the video is actually good. Yet I had significant problems with the audio while taking the videos. First of all, I wasn't able to transfer the audio. Next, after spending lots of time fiddling with the various functions on the Fuji XP30 and on the provided computer software the audio did show up, but it became totally out of sync. To really make it all the more annoying, whilst zooming in or out whilst recording any video clip you can hear the zoom actions in the movie afterward.
In summary, if you want to make use of the Fuji XP30 camera regarding daily use or you're having the challenge with inadvertently damaging your cameras it is probably worth the money you'll pay for it. But if you don't have the opportunity to continuously charge your batteries you should try to find something different.
