Fujifilm FinePix XP150

Zitat: Pro: + Easy, quick user interface + Good underwater performance + GPS works well + Affordable Contra: - Overall image quality is only average; color and saturation seem off - Doesn’t handle dark settings well The Fujifilm XP 150 makes an affordable tough cam for places you wouldn’t venture with a more fragile cam, but doesn’t perform well enough to replace a general point-and-shoot camera. Nothing in particular stands out enough to rave about, and all its major discrepancies can be justified by something it does right. For instance, color tone is poor… but it does a pretty good job with action shots. For what it lacks in image quality the XP 150 gets many of the smaller details right: An easy menu system, decent to good underwater performance, and a GPS feature that works. But if you’re looking for anything more, then you will want to look elsewhere, and spend more. The low price on the Fujifilm XP 150 is makes it worth a second look despite its compromises. Tough cams are novelty, niche products, and for most consumers they aren’t going to fill your every camera need. If that’s the case, then shelling out more than $300 might not make sense, and the Fujifilm XP 150 might be the most practical option.

Zitat: The Good: + Good value for money + looks nice + easy to use The Bad: - Focusing - prone to lens flare and lens obstruction - final image quality isn´t great The Fujifilm FinePix XP150 is affordable, but the real loss is final image quality. It will withstand abuse, but you might not get the shots you want.

Zitat: Pros: + Available in a good range of colours + Very good battery life + Bulit-in GPS + Full 1080p HD video recording + Camera is easy to grip + Good colour reproduction + Impressive panoramas + LED light Cons: - Continuous shooting modes have a limited image size - Minimum focusing distance of 9cm - Noise impacts on image quality from ISO 400 If we were to base the review of the XP150 on image quality alone it wouldn´t score particularly well. Detail in images isn´t great even at the lowest of ISO settings, but if you aren´t going to be using the images for large prints but for sharing on the web, this won´t be of much concern, particularly as colour reproduction is good enough. Where the XP150 does excel is with its range of features and handling. There is full 1080p HD video recording, GPS, impressive panoramas and the battery life is very good.
