FujiFilm FinePix XP130 Pro Reviews

The Fujifilm FinePix XP130 is a minor upgrade of last year's XP120 camera, adding four mild improvements to keep things fresh for 2018. Fujifilm have apparently sold 5 million XP cameras since the first model was released, so they've clearly decided to stick with the tried and tested formula of previous editions to keep those impressive sales figures going.

The XP130 improves battery life, and now has Bluetooth. Unfortunately, like the XP120 before it, the camera struggles to give good image quality, with the folded optics lens, and slow aperture producing images with low levels of detail. If you don't need the zoom, and have a good smartphone, then you're likely to get better image quality from a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S7. However, if you would rather take a budget waterproof camera, instead of a more expensive smartphone then the XP130 could be a good choice, particularly if you're going somewhere sunny and bright, so that you can share photos to social media websites. In this situation, the camera should gives good results, particularly as the camera has good colour, however, we wouldn't recommend looking at photos in too much detail.
