First the positives:
+ Housing acts really robust and combines well with motorcycle gloves use.
+ The shutter speed is quite fast.
+ Simple operation.
+ WiFi feature is handy.
+ Small USB charger
Disadvantages:
- My camera is constantly rattling and beeping noises! In this video footage can be heard clearly.
- The picture quality is actually not as expected especially well. But there are really a lot of fringing visible on edges and even at ISO 200. This should particularly compact cameras with some already good smartphone competition actually been significantly better.
Conclusion:
Robust camera with improved housing in comparison to its predecessors. Unfortunately with significant weaknesses in image quality and in particular when shooting video.
It may of course be that only my model are these noises. The same is also known by the Olympus TG.
The Fuji XP200 will return today. As I wait still prefer to something better!
Sorry Fuji, I may be your X-Series but at the XPs you have really something to do.
Generally I would however like to see the positive trend in expensive compact cameras in this segment with the manufacturers.
Larger sensors, less megapixels, fast lenses!
