\"Fujifilm_FinePix_XP200_962962\"<\/a>I recently got my hands on the Fujifilm XP200<\/a>\u00a0point and shoot camera and have been trying it out for about a month.<\/p>\n

It’s got a 16MP 1\/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, a 3″ LCD screen, built in Wi-Fi image transfer that allows you to instantly send photos to your smartphone or tablet, a 5x optical zoom lens, Full HD 1080p video, and a max continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per second.<\/p>\n

While I don’t normally these smaller cameras, there are times when you’re out in the elements, a DSLR wouldn’t be practical, and you don’t want to destroy your nice little X20 or iPhone 5S. That’s when these little rugged, adventure point and shoots like the Nikon AW110<\/a> and the\u00a0XP200<\/a>\u00a0really come in handy.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0XP200<\/a>\u00a0is waterproof to 15m, and shockproof, which means you can drop it onto the rocks from about 6′. I didn’t try this, but from what I’ve read, it’s indeed completely waterproof to the stated depth and stands up to just about any abuse you throw at it.<\/p>\n

It’s got a few different color\/bw settings and enough creative filters to offer lots of fun. Image quality is pretty good; obviously not as sharp as something like the X20, but the lens is good and photos holds up well and is good enough for anything that you’d normally use a point and shoot camera for.<\/p>\n

Best part about the\u00a0XP200<\/a>\u00a0is the price. Right now, they’re only about $200, which is way cheaper than the Nikon AW110 and most other cameras in its class. Not bad for a camera that can accompany you into the dirty, rainy, dusty, muddy and rugged places in the outdoors and come out unscathed.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for an inexpensive point and shoot to take on your adventures, I’d definitely check out the\u00a0XFuji XP200<\/a>. It’s a great all-around camera or what it does, you certainly can’t beat the price.<\/p>\n
