Fujifilm FinePix XP20 Green 14 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD

You have to baby this thing if you want it to weather all. Dont change battery or sd card out on the beach or anywhere where particles can get in. make sure to keep the seals clean so clean after a day of rugged use. Make sure the flimsy door is clicked shut so it remains water proof. Do not use it in pounding surf. If you blow it clean after ever use and wipe it, this camera can last you a long time. It takes amazing photos and the telephoto makes for very interesting shots. If you want a rugged camera this could fit the bill... but you HAVE to be careful with it. And it really makes sense to do these things anyway. Even if you dont open the compartment on the beach small bits will get into chamber somehow so blow it clean with canned air. Green I think is best color. ( :

I got this camera because I usually abuse my other ones. At first I was afraid I had made a mistake because of the bad reviews, but the pictures came out fairly well and so did the video mode. I've got other point and shoot cameras such as the Canon SD750 and that is completely thrashed now since it's always in my pocket when I'm sober OR drunk. I've also got a Canon S95, which I was just too scared of getting messed up when I take out with me or go underwater, even with the expensive underwater case. The xp20 isn't the best when it comes to shooting indoors.. actually I don't like the quality at all when the room is a bit dark, but outside with natural lighting and under the water it will do the job. Just make sure the seals are all locked in place and I don't think it will be a problem. Other cameras that I have used usually require a big hunky underwater case which is actually a bit embarrassing to carry around, but that's another great thing about this camera.

In a dark room, this camera isn't so great. Outside in nature, this camera does it's job.

The camera lasted 3.5 snorkeling trips then its waterproof function turned to a waterlogged function. I had read the reviews and brought an old camera as a backup on our trip to Cozumel. This camera may be great for motorcycle trips where it may get a little rain on it from time to time, but as for a underwater camera don't wast your time. It took okay pictures outside but inside like many reviews said the images are yellowed and washed out.

NOT ANY GOOD FOR SNORKELING IT WILL WATER-LOG AFTER A FEW TRIPS OUT.

I have had this camera for two weeks. Before I bought it I read all of the other reviews. It seemed like the biggest complaint was water leaking into the camera. So I played with the battery compartment (where most people said it leaked) and I could create a condition where the case would appear to be locked but not completely. Bottom line I found was to push the cover closed hard, with two thumbs AND LISTEN FOR A LOUD CLICK! Make sure one of your thumbs is not on the release lever when closing the door. Experiment closing the door many times before taking it under water. I was even able to get a tiny click out of closing the battery door and it was not securely latched! Make sure you get a loud click. If you let anyone borrow this camera educate them on this feature. So far I have not had any troubles with this camera and I am enjoying it. Thank you all of the other reviewers that alerted me to the battery door closing issue.

I love my new Fujifilm FinePix camera. I have owned several Olympus cameras both 35 mm and digital. I was looking for a new one that had certain features. As I searched for the latest Olypus models a list came up and the Fujifilm Finepix appeard on the list so I checked it out. I liked the features and decided to order the green one. I am very happy with the camera so far. I know there are lots of features I haven't tapped into yet but plan to do some more practice. I just returned from a vacation and used my camera on auto. I was extremely happy with the ease of use and the results of the pictures, especially the movie feature. The easy record button is much better than having to stop to change mode settings on my previous camera. I have not tried the water proof feature (under water) but was near a waterfall spray with no problems or worries of affecting my picture taking. So far so good. Nice size and easy to carry.
