Remember the Essentials
A memory card is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a memory card that suits your needs.
The FUJIFILM FinePix XP100 Digital Camera is one tough camera, sporting "4-way protection"! Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, and dustproof, the XP100 is ideal if you're the active type or if you're simply in the habit of protecting your investments.
The camera can go down to 32.8' underwater, can survive a 6.6' drop, can operate in temperatures down to 14°F, and is impervious to dust - making it great on the beach! The XP100 also boasts a rubberized grip, a double lock battery compartment, an LED light, and a shockproof bumper. Adding to its "tough factor", the camera's 2.7" LCD has an anti-reflective coating for great visibility, even in direct sunlight.
In addition to capturing 14.4Mp stills, the XP100 also takes 1920 x 1080 HD video. Video recording features include a One Touch Movie Recording Button, the H.264 format, and of course, underwater movie recording. The camera also rocks 5x optical zoom to help its 28mm wide lens capture distant or near subjects. Another helpful feature is image stabilization, for clear, blur-free photos and videos, even at the full 5x zoom.
And while the XP100 might be tough, it's also a point-and-shoot, which translates into your ability to capture great photos without needing to have a photo degree. Numerous shooting modes take the guesswork out of shooting and let the camera do the heavy-lifting. Whether you're selecting from the 6 Scene SR AUTO modes or HDR or face detection, the XP has just about any shooting situation you might find yourself in, covered.
When you're done shooting and ready to share what you've shot, the XP100 helps you do that too. In-camera tagging lets you line up what you want to share when you finally do connect to a computer - movies or stills. MyFinePix Studio also helps you upload your memories by detecting new images to upload and starting automatically upon connection to your computer. Other post-production features include Photobook Assist, post capture photo and movie editing options, and a bevy of playback options.

- 6 Scene SR AUTO Modes
-
Framed scenes are automatically detected and selected into appropriate camera settings: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, and Backlit Portrait
Portrait:Recognizes portraits by detecting the faces quickly in the frame and optimizing focus, brightness, and white balance
Landscape:Scenic shots such as mountains and buildings are automatically recognized. Colors of the sky, forests, and flower fields are captured in vivid colors and depth
Night:For low-light and night-time scenarios, shutter speed, and sensitivity are automatically adjusted producing blur-free pictures with minimal noise
Macro:Macro mode sets the focusing position of the details of small flowers or tiny subjects accurately
Night Portrait:When photographing people at night or in low-light, SR AUTO optimizes flash range, shutter speed, and exposure of the portraits, while capturing a smooth and luminous background
Backlit Portrait:Optimizes brightness of the faces that usually end up in shadow and underexposure caused by the light behind
- Pro Low-Light Mode
- Ideal for shooting non-moving subjects in low-light, this mode automatically takes a series of four high-sensitivity and low-noise exposures and then combines them into an image with less noise than a single exposure
- Dynamic Range (HDR)
- This mode uses Multi Frame technology to capture three consecutive photos shot at high speed under-exposed, normal exposure, and over-exposed. The three images are then layered to an optimum balance of detail in shadow and highlights, eliminating "blackout" or "washout" and producing pleasing, natural gradations
- Natural Light & With Flash
- Can't decide whether it's best to use flash? Choose this mode, press the shutter and automatically capture the same scene twice: once with high sensitivity and natural light, and the second time with intelligent flash. Later choose one or keep both!

- Red-Eye Removal in Detected Faces
- Red-eye removal automatically detects and corrects flash reflection for a prefect end result
- Instantly Detect Up to 6 Faces!
- The Face Detection can simultaneously recognize up to 6 faces in a photo. Share your group portraits using the zoom up function in playbacks, checking each detected face. Each priceless expression can be cropped and saved in clear high resolution results
- Face Detection Timer Function
-
The Face Detection self-timer automatically sets off after the number and position of faces in a scene are detected, snapping the photo at the right moment, with the faces in focus and properly exposed
Couple Timer:Just the two of you? Couple Timer waits until two faces are close together in the frame. Select "Near", "Close Up", or "Super Close" depending on the level of intimacy you're aiming for
Group Timer:Out and about with your friends? Group Timer mode gives you time to get into position as it waits until the number of faces is detected in the frame. You can select up to 4 faces and enjoy the moment ready to be captured
- Motion Panorama 360
- Select "Motion Panorama 360 Mode", press the shutter button, and sweep the camera to pan the scene. The FinePix XP100 cleverly produces a stunning 360° panoramic shot, effortlessly and automatically!

Program AE:An automatic mode to set the white balance and exposure
Pro Low-Light:Choose for shooting a subject under low-light or a still subject by using the telephoto zoom
HDR (Dynamic Range):Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes a series of shots, each with different exposure. These are combined into a single image, pre-serving detail in highlights and shadows
Natural Light & With Flash:Shoots 2 images continuously, without flash and with flash. Comes in great handy during marginal shooting situations
Natural Light:Produces beautiful images that retain the natural ambience when shots are taken in low-light conditions
Portrait:Set for shooting portraits. Skin tones are softened as it enhances the overall natural look
Portrait Enhancer:Enables automatic enhancements of skin tone

We recently purchased the camera for our vacation to Mexico where we planned on doing alot of snorkling and wanted an underwater camera we could continue using in the future, rather than using the throw aways. Overall I was very pleased with the camera both normal pictures, and underwater. It took some experimenting with the settings to determine the best settings to use under different conditions, but once that was figured out, it took great pictures. The only issue I found was sometimes you had to press the power button several times to turn the camera on. You could feel it depress but no power? The other thing to watch for is water splashing on the lens. It doesn't hurt the camera, but you end up with water droplets in your pictures. And finally, a person I met down in Mexico with the same camera said we should rinse the camera off really well after use in saltwater because she had hers for about a year and was having difficulty with the buttons sticking and felt that the saltwater was the culpert.
Good Camera.

I purchased this camera to go on vacation and was not satisfied with the performance. The shutter speed was slow-it took awhile to focus and as a result, I lost a lot of the shots I wished to get of the children. At times the picture would take but it was out of focus so I ended up with a fuzzy picture. If you want something simple and works most of the time pretty good, this is it. If you wish to have a more responsive camera, this is not it.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Green):
My family enjoys many outdoor experiences - the most recent being a hike through the Narrows down the Virgin River in Zion National Park. I had this same camera stolen earlier this summer [bummer], but I knew that when I was searching for a waterproof/shockproof/freeze-proof camera, I'd go back to this one. Great pictures, easy to use, truly waterproof (went diving up to 20 ft. with it in the Bahamas)... I look forward to using it snow skiing, too.
I think the shutter release is a little slow - especially when using a flash. This makes jumping pictures hard at first. ;-) Sometimes it has a hard time focusing too, but without a lens cover, this is to be expected as water drops and dirt might get on the lens.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Black):
I have owned more than 15 cameras in the past 12 years and I have seen the good and not-so-good when it comes to camera features.
I do NOT want or need a GPS Geotagging receiver built into my camera. If I wanted GPS capabilities I would buy the GP-E2 GPS receiver for my Canon EOS 7D and be able to physically remove the GPS device when I don't need it.
I DO want and need a small rugged waterproof camera that will take decent underwater pictures and HD video in the pool or while snorkeling at the beach.
The Fujifilm FinePix XP100 fits my needs because because in my opinion: it is the best rugged, waterproof, point and shoot type camera still sold today (9/3/2012) that does not have a built in GPS receiver and Geotagging of photos.
It's enough that I am required to carry a company smart phone for my job and let my boss know the details of how and where I spend my day. However, when I go on vacation, I refuse to carry any device (including a smart phone) that will track my movements and tell others precisely where I went, where I spent my vacation, and where I took my pictures.
I have a friend who is an electronics engineer and works with electronics and firmware integration. He tells me: It's not enough just to shut the feature off, because if the device has the GPS hardware built into it, the GPS tracking can inadvertently be turned back on without the user knowing it; this is true of any digital device that has any hardware built into it; that can not be physically disconnected from the device.
I have always loved and sought out new technology and new camera features, but it is now getting to the point where the new technology makes me NOT want to buy the product. I certainly hope that Fujifilm sells enough of these FinePix XP100 cameras without built in GPS receivers; so that they will continue to manufacture them for a growing number of people who are concerned about their ever shrinking privacy in this world of new technology.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Orange):
Excellent camera, I purchased it for the waterproof feather. I've had the opportunity to use this camera several times in pools and in salt water. The photos came out GREAT, no complaints. Excellent under water photos. One thing, always rinse the camera off with water once your done, it'll last longer. Unbeatable pricing and shipping. Battery died out after 1 1/2 hours of usage, buy a spare.

Very suitable for my field work with students.
Great all-weather features and durability. Battery life good, picture clarity very good.
The menu buttons are a little difficult to use
due to their small size. Do not like the "cancel photo" operation as it carries backword or forward to the next photo automatically.

Got the camera for a water park vacation. Opened it 2 times in 5 days to charge the battery. on the 5th day the LCD screen went to negative, opened it and the seal had leaked. The pictures on the memory card were still good but the LCD still won't work. Would not recommend due to a weak seal.

We recently purchased the camera for our vacation to Mexico where we planned on doing alot of snorkling and wanted an underwater camera we could continue using in the future, rather than using the throw aways. Overall I was very pleased with the camera both normal pictures, and underwater. It took some experimenting with the settings to determine the best settings to use under different conditions, but once that was figured out, it took great pictures. The only issue I found was sometimes you had to press the power button several times to turn the camera on. You could feel it depress but no power? The other thing to watch for is water splashing on the lens. It doesn't hurt the camera, but you end up with water droplets in your pictures. And finally, a person I met down in Mexico with the same camera said we should rinse the camera off really well after use in saltwater because she had hers for about a year and was having difficulty with the buttons sticking and felt that the saltwater was the culpert.
Good Camera.

I purchased this camera to go on vacation and was not satisfied with the performance. The shutter speed was slow-it took awhile to focus and as a result, I lost a lot of the shots I wished to get of the children. At times the picture would take but it was out of focus so I ended up with a fuzzy picture. If you want something simple and works most of the time pretty good, this is it. If you wish to have a more responsive camera, this is not it.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Green):
My family enjoys many outdoor experiences - the most recent being a hike through the Narrows down the Virgin River in Zion National Park. I had this same camera stolen earlier this summer [bummer], but I knew that when I was searching for a waterproof/shockproof/freeze-proof camera, I'd go back to this one. Great pictures, easy to use, truly waterproof (went diving up to 20 ft. with it in the Bahamas)... I look forward to using it snow skiing, too.
I think the shutter release is a little slow - especially when using a flash. This makes jumping pictures hard at first. ;-) Sometimes it has a hard time focusing too, but without a lens cover, this is to be expected as water drops and dirt might get on the lens.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Black):
I have owned more than 15 cameras in the past 12 years and I have seen the good and not-so-good when it comes to camera features.
I do NOT want or need a GPS Geotagging receiver built into my camera. If I wanted GPS capabilities I would buy the GP-E2 GPS receiver for my Canon EOS 7D and be able to physically remove the GPS device when I don't need it.
I DO want and need a small rugged waterproof camera that will take decent underwater pictures and HD video in the pool or while snorkeling at the beach.
The Fujifilm FinePix XP100 fits my needs because because in my opinion: it is the best rugged, waterproof, point and shoot type camera still sold today (9/3/2012) that does not have a built in GPS receiver and Geotagging of photos.
It's enough that I am required to carry a company smart phone for my job and let my boss know the details of how and where I spend my day. However, when I go on vacation, I refuse to carry any device (including a smart phone) that will track my movements and tell others precisely where I went, where I spent my vacation, and where I took my pictures.
I have a friend who is an electronics engineer and works with electronics and firmware integration. He tells me: It's not enough just to shut the feature off, because if the device has the GPS hardware built into it, the GPS tracking can inadvertently be turned back on without the user knowing it; this is true of any digital device that has any hardware built into it; that can not be physically disconnected from the device.
I have always loved and sought out new technology and new camera features, but it is now getting to the point where the new technology makes me NOT want to buy the product. I certainly hope that Fujifilm sells enough of these FinePix XP100 cameras without built in GPS receivers; so that they will continue to manufacture them for a growing number of people who are concerned about their ever shrinking privacy in this world of new technology.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Orange):
Excellent camera, I purchased it for the waterproof feather. I've had the opportunity to use this camera several times in pools and in salt water. The photos came out GREAT, no complaints. Excellent under water photos. One thing, always rinse the camera off with water once your done, it'll last longer. Unbeatable pricing and shipping. Battery died out after 1 1/2 hours of usage, buy a spare.

Comments about FinePix XP100 Digital Camera (Orange):
Very suitable for my field work with students.
Great all-weather features and durability. Battery life good, picture clarity very good.
The menu buttons are a little difficult to use
due to their small size. Do not like the "cancel photo" operation as it carries backword or forward to the next photo automatically.

Got the camera for a water park vacation. Opened it 2 times in 5 days to charge the battery. on the 5th day the LCD screen went to negative, opened it and the seal had leaked. The pictures on the memory card were still good but the LCD still won't work. Would not recommend due to a weak seal.
