Fujifilmgets tough

The FujifilmFinePixXP130 is dustproof, waterproof to 20m, shockproof to 1.75m and freezeproof. Its ruggedness is just one selling point, but there is much more. Images are delivered by a 16.4-megapixel back- illuminated CMOS sensor, the lens is a Fujinon 5x optical zoom with the option of a 10x digital

zoom, and there’s optical image stabilsation to help get sharp shots in low light situations. Its compact and light body (just 207g) also features a 3in 920K dot sensor, eye detection AF and an electronic level, so slanting horizons are a thing of the past. For easy sharing of images, there’s Bluetooth

and Wi-Fi for instant sharing and image transfer to smart phones and tablets – just download the free Fujifilm Camera Remote app to your device. For Instax Share printer users, images can be transferred from the camera directly. The XP130 is available from this month at £199.
