What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

Overall good camera for outdoor sports like hiking. It takes better pictures than your cell phone camera.
It's small, durable, and pretty cool looking. It has just enough features for me and is lightweight.
I liked the camera as it's waterproof, shockproof, compact enough and decent internal memory capacity. Would certainly recommend it.
A great little compact camera that you can take with you everywhere.
Too small size drops out of hands under water. Which annoys me all the time.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

I wanted a camera for when I'm out climbing so I needed something that was lightweight, small and replaced cheaply should it get damaged, yet still take good quality pictures.
This little camera is pretty much perfect for the job. Comfortable to use.
It's incredibly light, sometimes a little disconcertingly so, it's small enough to fit in any pocket on my trousers/bag.
My daughter wanted a camera, so I bought her this one. It’s small and lightweight.
It is fairly small and lightweight to carry. It has a wrist strap too.

What customers say about "Imaging"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

All that said, the images are really good and I tested the video under water in the under water scene mode and they seemed sharp.
An amazing ISO range that allows you to take photos under any conditions.
Continuous shots let me choose the best from burst shooting. Great feature to make your life easier.
The only downside, if there is one, is that the zoom seems to be almost entirely digital so there is some degradation in quality when zoomed in.
For the most part I like fuji over other cameras but the one area they have always struggled is blurring from camera shake in low light conditions and this camera is no different.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

Very easy to use. I took some pictures outside and they look great!
I was looking for a point and shoot camera.I didn't have much trouble learning how to operate. It takes great photos.
This is an inexpensive little camera that does a good job taking every day pictures ... just what I wanted.
We purchased for a child and she loves it. Takes quality pictures and easy for her to use.
Very poor picture quality and the photos are not usable, so don't waste your money.

What customers say about "Display"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

Bought for a diving trip. Really easy to use, the screen is great. The photos came out really well for an entry level camera.
An excellent screen that allows you to view your photos right away and select the one you need.
A large screen that contains many functions. Very easy to use.
I was very pleased with the resolution, color and ability to shoot under not so normal conditions. I had it down to 18 meters and it worked fine.
In sunlight, difficulties appear in viewing photographs, which is very annoying. Since you need to go home to hope that there are beautiful pictures.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

Nice pocket size and with a good screen to preview pictures.
The screen is of a nice size it is crisp and clear to see and read the information that is displayed on the screen.
Decent camera with a clear screen and good quality photos.
Do not buy... camera did not take one decent picture.. mine also had two dead pixels on the screen.
Bit awkward to get around,lcd screen was wonkey,not great pic quality(blurry).

What customers say about "Protection"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

I bought this for my husband as he did his open water Padi on holiday, which goes to 18 meters and for a first time use this was great. It's perfect for snorkling too.
Camera allows me to go fishing or kayaking or camping and take magazine quality pictures without worry since the camera is waterproof.
We bought because its waterproof and drop proof. It’s a work camera and used every day sometimes climbing up ladders and hasn’t broke.
It is a good waterproof camera, if it was actually waterproof. Bought this camera for a vacation and the first time I put it in the water bubbles started coming out the lense.
Absolutely NOT waterproof. Bought this to replace an aged model and it was a lemon straight out of the gate.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

The water-proof ability is as advertised. But I have only used it once underwater.
This is an excellent camera with great picture quality, the build and water resistance is solid.
It has a lot of good functionalities, including 4K video, the quality of the pictures is ok and it looks resistant.
Certainly is 'tough', that's for sure. Impressed by image quality, ease of use above and under water, wifi.
Cracking quality for money. Bought it for honeymoon in Galapagos. Worked incredibly well both above and below water.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

It was easy to download the photos to my phone too by downloading an app. Would recommend.
The Wi-Fi transfer is awesome and fast. I also ordered some extra batteries for extended backcountry trips.
Excellent connection to my computer, quick photo transfer.
A great feature is that you can transfer your photos to your phone via Wi-Fi.
The device loses the signal with my phone when transferring photos.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

Great camera with a good screen and fast wifi, I am satisfied.
The speed of wi-fi is impressive, the camera is made very high quality in all aspects.
The camera is perfectly connected to the laptop, which allows me to upload photos without problems.
The hdmi port broke down pretty quickly, I don’t know the reason, because I used it very carefully.
USB works slower than expected, wi-fi works well, the screen is bright, photos quality is mediocre.

What customers say about "Power"

Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel

The battery/memory card door seems very well constructed and the camera reminds you to close it tight when you turn it on.
It worked as designed, the battery life seemed to last a long time. The pictures were great and it was easy to use.
The camera battery was sealed properly and once installed was ready for its first charging. I did not expect such a long battery life. It's amazing.
Battery dies in 5 minutes. Fully charged on 3 different occasions and battery dying within 5 mins of use.
The first day the battery died instantly and I lost all pictures, including some beautiful pictures of a green turtle during Snuba diving.

Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

The camera is good, the battery life allows you to take more photos.
I’ve been using the camera for half a year, I’m actively using it and the battery life remains the same as on the first day.
I bought a camera a couple of days ago, the quality is amazing, the battery life is as advertised, great pictures.
Battery life is less than expected, although still not bad.
Battery life could be better, WiFI works well, pretty good screen and decent waterproof.
