When smartphones first hit the market, dedicated point and shoot camera sales plummeted. But while you were out filtering your favorite Instagram shots, the camera industry kicked it into high gear and started producing top notch products that blow away anything sold in a smartphone in many areas.

I bought the XP 120 and it is great! The ability to video underwater is awesome, and being able to take pictures with camera while operating from my phone is an cool feature! Highly recommended!

Fujifilm's latest rugged compact camera, the FinePix XP120, has been designed with families in mind, and offers a 16.4 million pixel 1/2.3-inch sensor, along with a 5x optical zoom (28-140mm equivalent).

The Fujifilm FinePix XP120 is a mid-priced rugged waterproof compact with a 16.4 megapixel sensor and a stabilised 5x optical zoom with an equivalent range of 28-140mm and a maximum aperture of f3.9-4.9.

Waterproof to 20 metres; dropproof from 1.75m; freezeproof to -10C; and dustproof; Fast continuous shooting; Built-in Wifi with good app; Ease of use

Noisy sensor; Short burst continuous shooting; 28mm wide-angle not as wide as rivals; 9cm minimum focusing not as close as rivals; 210 shot battery life

Is the XP120 an outstanding camera? For the money, I think it is: while its image quality and controls are nothing more than decent, its true appeal lies in its tough, nigh-on indestructible build quality, small size and affordable asking price. If you’re looking for a rugged cam that delivers superb images every time you click that shutter button, you should look at something a bit more expensive like the Olympus TG-5. But if you want a cheap, rugged compact for photography situations where you don’t want to risk wrecking your smartphone, look no further than this.

Small, lightweight and tough; Very affordable;

Image quality merely acceptable; No zoom rocker;

We don't review too many affordable point-and-shoot cameras these days – call it a symptom of everyone having a good quality snapper in their pocket. Thanks, smartphones!

nice camera... its simple, sturdy and easy to use...photo quality is very good.. I took photographs in Mumbai rain without any problem.... very good point and shoot camera

I had the older version of this camera which I feel was better but can no longer buy. Basically ok, a few too many options but robust and easy to handle. Photos mainly ok but sometimes exposure not great and doesn't handle moving objects ( dogs running around) as well as my previous model even when...

I think this is a great little camera. I haven't take it under water yet as I'm not going on vacation for a few months yet but I find it takes great pictures and is easy to use. I like the burst mode so it takes multiple photos all within seconds of each other so you're bound to get a few that turn...
