CNET Reviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Fujifilm FinePix XP20 is a decent extra point-and-shoot for when you need a camera to take some abuse. But if it's going to be your one and only pocket camera, look elsewhere.

Protecting precious pictures seems like a logical idea to us - trouble is, we're not convinced that the XP30's pictures are all that precious. Nicely priced and better designed than some of its chunkier (and pricier) competitors, we can't help thinking that a camera which is designed for holidays should be easier on battery power. Considering the camera's already-short battery life, geo-tagging seems a energy-guzzling luxury - and shouldn't there be a viewfinder in place of a LCD? That said, this well-built, well designed (apart from the battery cover) and reasonably versatile camera is fit for purpose. Go forth and, um... let your kids use it.

The Fujifilm Finepix XP30 is a tough cookie with some useful features. Unfortunately quality issues and shortcomings related to its GPS function mean that the camera fails to live up to its promise.

Considering that with a manufacturer’s asking price a penny shy of £200 the XP30 can be picked up for a bargain £150, this has “active young family camera” written all over it. Whilst it’s not the most sophisticated compact in the world, and on dry land appears well built, unobtrusive and cutely designed, going by the basis of our test sample at least it is rather more challenged when in the wet, and the fact that we occasionally had trouble shutting the battery cover prior to this didn’t inspire confidence. In that respect this is one tough camera that benefits from kid glove treatment. The XP30 is best viewed therefore as your average happy snapper that will take the odd accidental drop or knock, rather than intentional punishment.

The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 is a good enough camera for the happy snapper that either has kids or enjoys the more extreme side of life and needs a camera that can cope with abuse. For a price point of less than £200 it's a great little compact to take places thanks to its small size, internal functions and easy to use menu. If you can live with the problems that we experienced throughout the test then you'll find this camera will meet all of your family's needs.

A handsome little camera that's built to withstand water, impacts and cold. Sadly, image quality is astonishingly bad.

The XP30 is a keenly priced and stylish addition to the burgeoning tough compact market. Easy to use and thoughtfully laid out in terms of controls it’s capable of decent, if not great, results. The addition of GPS functionality is a fun, if somewhat battery depleting, feature too. Our only real concerns are with lens sharpness and image noise. It’s to be hoped that the next model in the series will address these issues by dropping the megapixel count down to something more manageable. In the meantime, the XP30 is certainly worth a look if you’re in the market for a tough compact on a budget.
