 "Picture this!" 2010-06-28
By Michael J. Henk (Fenton, MI)
I needed a camera to take on board while racing sailboats, so I searched for waterproof, shockproof digital point & shoots. I ended up choosing the Fuji FinePix XP10, because it said it fit these requirements and more. I've used the camera for several events now, and like some aspects and dislike some others. The camera provides high-quality pictures, at 12 MP, images are crisp and sharp. Color saturation of images is very good. It is easy to use and self-explanatory, I can hand the camera to another crew-member and they can figure it out quickly and without problems.

I do have a couple of issues with the camera, though, simple things that would make it more practical and easier to use. First,to turn off the beep sound (chime when camera is turned on/off, or when using the menu), you are required to hold a button down for 4 seconds - but this also cancels the flash - there is no way to turn off the beep without turning off the flash function. It doesn't make sense to have to tie these two functions together electronically. Second, although it has a large viewing screen, it is very difficult to see in bright daylight. You are required to hold a hand over the screen to see the image - not handy when sailing a boat! Third, the telephoto length of the lens is shorter than I would have liked. It is hard to frame a distance shot using only the telephoto control. I've figured that this is a symptom of the water-proof nature of the camera, for longer focal length, it would require a moving lens. Finally, on my last camera, it was possible to enlarge and crop a picture while viewing it on the screen, this camera does not appear to have that option.



The camera does what it promised, so I rate it high for those reasons. I guess with a little more research on my part, I would have found that it lacked a couple of features that I had come to consider necessary for the type of photography I do.

 "Meh..." 2010-06-27
By LaAngler
Bought this camera to carry with me while fishing. I do a lot of wading so I opted for a water/shock proof since that's what killed my last pocket cam.



My complaints are as follows:



The data cable port is located too close to the hinge of the battery/card bay. Battery is very small. The user manual says to send the camera in after one year to change seals to retain the waterproof rating.



Now I can live with all of the above, but the picture quality just isn't there. I didn't expect this thing to mimic a high dollar SLR, but even when comparing the images to my 2 year old camera (cybershot) the image quality doesn't come close.



I am going to send this one back and try again. charge it to the game :P

 "didn't deliver what it promised." 2010-06-27
By Liz in FL (boca raton, fl)
I had this 2 weeks, went in the pool once in less than 2ft of water took a photo, dried out the camera like detailed in the manual. 3 days later the camera made a gear grinding sound with an error message not in the manual. contacted fujifilm via email, recvd response in 30 minutes to ship it to them for repair. in less than 2 weeks recvd camera back and after taking the 3rd picture the error message came back on the screen. I purchased this at costco which has a 90 day return policy so i returned it and went with the pentax w90 based on reviews here & outside magazine.



i gave the camera a chance, the purchase of this camera was because i have a 2yr old and a 9 month old and they constantly drop electronics, so I wanted a rugged camera that could fit in my pocket. the canon is the ideal rugged camera however it's extrememly bulky. don't waste your time purchasing this camera. i did my research before i bought it but still gave it a chance because of the price point, not worth the hassle. the pictures were not that great. The SR AUTO mode got confused and would take pictures without the flash and camera is slow in between shots. This was reported by other reviewers here and on cnet. Once I use the pentax W90 a while I will post that review.

 "Great choice for watery vacations" 2010-06-27
By dephal (California)
We took the Fuji xp10 to Hawaii for a week and the camera was great. Perfect for taking pictures on the beach as waves and sea spray do not affect it. We took pictures of the kids beachcombing, playing in the surf, and swimming in the ocean. In addition, I took the camera snorkeling and was able to take many pictures of the fish on the reef. Even underwater you can hear the on beep. Fits well in my hand and is very light. Lots of settings allowed me to take great pictures of the sunsets every evening. The picture quality is very good overall.



It does have a few downsides. The controls are not obvious and it can take some fiddling to figure things out. Uploading pictures to a compter via a USB cord is slightly awkward. And, although the camera itself is water and shock resistent, the large view screen ended up with a pretty good scratch when the camera met with some lava rocks.

 "Great little durable camera!" 2010-06-27
By 3 Wee Bairns (Buffalo, NY)
I am replacing a Canon SD960IS which took great pictures, but twice was accidentally turned on while in my pocket - which caused a "lens error". The lens would no longer fully retract nor would it focus, making the camera useless. The first time the camera was under warranty and fixed by Canon at no charge. This time the warranty had expired and would have cost $130 to repair...time for a new camera!



I also have a Canon EOS Rebel and have always had Canons, even in the days of film - I love the quality of Canon pics. However, when I found this Fuji Finepix XP I liked the fact that the lens is internal - and cannot have the same type of accident as my Canon PowerShot Elph. I had no need for underwater photos - although, I'm sure I will use the function now that I have it. But I do like the fact that the camera is waterproof and shockproof. Having 5 children, I don't have to worry as much if one of them grabs the camera and I can take it to the beach, pool, waterpark without being a neurotic mess. Also it is freezeproof, so if I have it in my car in winter in Buffalo, NY and happen to forget to bring it in...not a big deal! Also it is a great size, very small and light - slips easily into a pocket without requiring a case because of its durability!



I took video footage at a concert with this camera and thought it was good quality. Picture quality is far better than I expected after reading other reviews. The macros were impressive! Daylight pics are great - low light photos are not bad, but not as good as Canon. (See photo of dog above - it was shot at night in a dark room with very little light)



All in all I am very happy with this camera and would definitely recommend it!

 "fun memories in the making" 2010-06-22
By L. Lee (los angeles, ca)
Very quirky design, I've been happy with the look and ease of use thus far.

Recommend purchasing multiple packs of film up front, otherwise the limited exposures and expense of additional packs will deter from taking advantage of the camera.

 "The cuttest instant camera ever !" 2010-06-21
By Flore Fouret (New York, NY)
The device has a very nice design, this is more than easy to use it and it makes very very nice little instant pictures, that can make blasting memories for friends and family.

I had this camera to offer to my friends that were getting married an instant book of their wedding party, they were emotionally moved, because the camera did a great job.

The amazing part in this type of device is that it combines the pleasure of real pictures (that we lost basically with the appearance of the digital camera and the computer-based views), the vintage style of polaroid and the instantaneity we love so much about a digital camera (and in our current society that cannot wait a minute for anything)

 "Simple and Fun" 2010-06-01
By Y. Kulikova
This is a very easy camera to use, fun to take with you anywhere on the go, and the photos are beautiful. My only desires are for the image to be a bit bigger than credit card size, and the brightest setting (for shooting in the sun) sometimes is overblown if it's too sunny- I would love the setting to be adjustable, and of course if the option for depth of field was possible too this camera would simply be perfect! It takes beautiful photos - slightly moody for that 70s feel, but modern and crisp.

 "Lovely!" 2010-05-18
By Courtney Burns
I adore adore adore adore ADORE this camera! The pictures come out surprisingly well. Granted, you don't get 100% clear shots like you do with a digital camera, but there's so much nostalgic feeling about the credit card sized Polaroid that just has me giddy from the toes up. I got it a whole week sooner than I thought it would, and came with everything that I paid for. The camera was brand new, the film wasn't even close to being expired, and it's taking all I have to save some of the film for vacation this year!

 "Cozumel Coral Reef" 2010-05-14
By Gary D. Moulton (Moab, Ut)
As long as the sun was shining, the cameras took great pictures of the reef floor. The colors in the fish did not show up the same as they were to the naked Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Fuji Disposable / Single Use Underwater Camera (5 Pack)eye, but they were good pictures. I just would have liked to see the vibrant colors that the fish really had. I took some pictures of people out of the water and the pictures turned out very well. There is good and bad as far as the cameras pictures are concerned, but overall I feel the good out weighs the bad.

 "about to fall apart" 2010-06-10
By D. Collymore
I should have heeded the warning about the noises in the camera. The camera sounded like it was going to fall apart. When recording a video there was a loud hum from the camera not the room noise. The images did not look crisp. I had to return it. Thank you amazon for great return system.

 "Annoying buzz" 2010-06-09
By RG (NYC)
The new camera has an annoying buzz when on, as the lens mechanism is constantly changing the settings, and Fuji has not fixed it yet(!?) The constant servo movements will lead to early failure of the lens servos, perhaps right after the warranty runs out. Put your ear to the lens and check your camera for the noise. I never heard a continuous noise like that in Lumix or Canon cameras.

 "XP10 Accessory Kit" 2010-06-24
By anna
Included in the kit are the neoprene case, 2 straps, and a silicone skin. I love the case, black and tight fitting around the camera, which is what I wanted. There is also a hook to attach it anywhere, although I still haven't used it. I usually just toss the camera into my bag. There are 2 different straps, a "regular" strap, and the float strap. The "regular" strap seems to also be made of neoprene type fabric, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately it isn't adjustable, which would have been a great add-on. But the float strap is adjustable, and works well. It floats as the camera hangs below the strap. It has floated all over my pool for a couple of hours at a time. It's easier than having to swim to the side every time you need to put the camera down for a second. The strap has gray, black, and bright orange stripes, which I suppose was done so you could easily see it. I was surprised, only because it was not shown on the picture of the box or in the description, but I don't mind it at all. I really haven't used the silicone skin yet. I tried it on, and it fits well. It covers the front and sides of the camera, but not the back- just like a cell phone skin. I tried pressing the buttons (power and shutter), and seem to be alright under the skin, but again, I don't use it. I felt like water would get trapped between the skin and the camera if I brought it into the water, which is where my camera is much of the time. I really do like the product because it does what I want it to do, and I use it all the time... I just had/have one problem. Not sure if it's just mine or not. It is a little difficult to take the strap off and switch it with another. Basically you have to push in the two sides at the end of the strap and pull it off (I can't think of an example, but I'm sure we've all had something like this... like a buckle on a shopping cart or high chair but on a much smaller scale.) I guess, in a way, it's a good thing that it is difficult to take off, then I know it just won't fall off. But overall, I am very satisfied.

Buy Low Price From Here Now
With a new, cutting edge design, the FinePix Z37 not only looks good, but it also offers all the features necessary to take great pictures and share them easily, bringing out the social butterfly in everyone.

Style & Substance
Thinner, sexier and bolder than previous Z-series models, the FinePix Z37 is a party camera that loves to be the center of attention. The FinePix Z37 combines a 10-megapixel CCD sensor, a sharp 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.7-inch LCD screen in its incredibly thin 19.1mm metal front body, making it easy to be stashed in the tightest of jean pockets. Available in a choice of blue, green or violet, the FinePix Z37 is able to match anyone's style and personality.

The FinePix Z37 has many great features to highlight--the 'Blog Mode' is a social networker's staple, allowing users to automatically resize images and movies making them ready for web use. In addition, Fujifilm's 'Scene Recognition Auto' (SR AUTO) Mode' cleverly detects the correct scene setting without the need to pre-select the mode on the camera, making it even easier to take the best pictures possible.

The FinePix Z37 is also packed with the following noteworthy features:

Maximum ISO sensitivity up to 1600
With the high ISO of up to 1600, the FinePix Z37 can capture quality shots in low light situations.

Scene Recognition AUTO (SR AUTO)
Enables the camera to intelligently recognize six types of scenes automatically - Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Backlit Portrait, Night and Night Portrait modes.

Face Detection with Automatic Red-Eye Removal
The FinePix Z37 identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene and sets the correct focus and exposure, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. After a shot is captured, the camera automatically checks for red eye and self-corrects it in each and every person in the photo, saving time on post-editing.

 "Similar to the Z30, but better for one reason" 2010-05-10
By Yarigal (at my computer)
I love Fuji cameras - and no, I'm not a Fuji employee, but maybe I should be - I would love an employee discount! This Z37 was a deal I couldn't refuse and I believe this is my 10th Fuji digital camera I've purchased since 2004. I got the purple color and it's beautiful.



I owned the Z30 Fujifilm FinePix Z30 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Whirl White) previously, but at the last minute I decided to gift it to a young relative of mine only because of one thing I disliked about it: On the Z30 the USB plug-in was located INSIDE the camera's battery compartment. I feared the latch would eventually break off since the USB plug, the battery and the memory card were all in the same area.



Instead, the Z37 Fuji has the USB plug on the SIDE of the camera. In addition, this is a multi-use plug. With the Z37 you get an AC adapter cable in addition to the USB cable. The AC adapter charges the battery inside the camera. So unless I'm removing the memory card on this camera, there is no reason to open the battery compartment.



The AC adapter replaces the separate battery charger that comes with the Z30. This also means if your battery runs low, you can use the Z37 with it plugged into an outlet, but of course, this does limit what you can take a picture of, unless it's something near the electric outlet.



The Z37 is slightly thinner than the Z30 but otherwise they appear to be the same. Same LCD size, and the buttons are located in the same configuration. The LCD is big and bright - I have no trouble seeing anything outside in the bright sun. It's tiny and lightweight and easy to carry in either a pocket or small bag - it weighs slightly over 4 ounces.



And since the lens has a cover - and this is the way the camera is powered on/off - by sliding the lens cover open (like the first Fuji digital cameras invented) you almost don't need to buy a separate case....although I do keep mine in a case because I don't like the exterior to get scratched.



Just one complaint with this camera, otherwise it's perfect. There is no good area to hold onto the camera. The entire back is composed of LCD screen and buttons. At least the back area is rubberized so it does help with the grip.



But the pro's way outnumber my single complaint:



>>> Quick response when opening the lens cover to take the first shot

>>> SR Auto - just point and shoot

>>> Takes beautiful pictures

>>> Fast response time after taking a flash picture

>>> Lithium-ion battery - one charge lasts over 200 pictures

>>> Takes good videos - better than my expensive Panasonic Lumix



Note about the videos: You can't use optical zoom once you start filming, but you can set it before. You can use digital zoom after you start filming, but you have to turn it on before-hand in the set-up menu. They aren't HD but they look pretty good.



Note about the SR Auto setting: This setting drains the battery a little quicker, because the lens and sensor is constantly evaluating and focusing whatever you have the camera pointed at - the lens noise is completely normal and nothing to worry about. If you don't want to hear the lens focusing, just set the camera on regular Auto instead (the picture of the camera icon).



In conclusion: This is a good entry-level camera and I recommend it for just about anyone who is looking for an easy to use camera. Even a young kid. And it's built tougher than it appears - since the lens zooms INSIDE the camera body. Case in point: Two days after I received my Z30, it slipped out of my hands and hit the kitchen floor (my condo is built on a slab). I thought the camera was broken, but I turned it back on and was none worse for the wear. Not even a scratch. This Z37 appears to be built just as tough as the Z30 which I dropped.



It comes with just 18 MB of internal memory, so pick up an SD card if you don't already have one.

 "Description of camera is incorrect" 2010-04-09
By shars39
I bought this camera for my daughter (age 8) from the Easter Bunny. It was not until Easter Sunday after she received the camera did I notice that this camera DOES NOT TAKE AA BATTERIES as stated in the description on Amazon. The description listed on Amazon for Fujifilm Finepix Z37 states this camera "powered by AA batteries (included)." That was one of several reasons I selected this camera for my daughter. The camera takes battery NP-45 not AA batteries! I contemplated returning the camera but how could I take back the camera from my daughter who was totally excited and can't stop taking picture with it?

The camera is easy to operate. My daughter loves the mini clips she can record. This is a good starter camera.

I would have rated this camera with 4 stars but deducted a star due to the error in the description posted on Amazon and the fact that the camera takes NP-45 battery and not AA batteries.

I bought this camera for my daughter (teenager) . this product met both of our requirements. 1) The photo quality is great 2) The lens is protected when the camera is off. Not just retracted, protected! 3) Cost, There's real value here for the money it's terrific. 4) Ease of use, the menu controls are wonderfully laid out and are a breeze to use. 4) She wanted a cool color. I could have spent five times the money on something else and she would not been as happy. 5) Size, It is a tiny camera. it will fit in a pocket or a purse without a problem. 6) memory, uses inexpensive SD media with an internal rechargeable battery.
