What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel
- Overall good camera for outdoor sports like hiking. It takes better pictures than your cell phone camera.
- It's small, durable, and pretty cool looking. It has just enough features for me and is lightweight.
- I liked the camera as it's waterproof, shockproof, compact enough and decent internal memory capacity. Would certainly recommend it.
- A great little compact camera that you can take with you everywhere.
- Too small size drops out of hands under water. Which annoys me all the time.
Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera
- I wanted a camera for when I'm out climbing so I needed something that was lightweight, small and replaced cheaply should it get damaged, yet still take good quality pictures.
- This little camera is pretty much perfect for the job. Comfortable to use.
- It's incredibly light, sometimes a little disconcertingly so, it's small enough to fit in any pocket on my trousers/bag.
- My daughter wanted a camera, so I bought her this one. It’s small and lightweight.
- It is fairly small and lightweight to carry. It has a wrist strap too.

What customers say about "Imaging"
Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel
- All that said, the images are really good and I tested the video under water in the under water scene mode and they seemed sharp.
- An amazing ISO range that allows you to take photos under any conditions.
- Continuous shots let me choose the best from burst shooting. Great feature to make your life easier.
- The only downside, if there is one, is that the zoom seems to be almost entirely digital so there is some degradation in quality when zoomed in.
- For the most part I like fuji over other cameras but the one area they have always struggled is blurring from camera shake in low light conditions and this camera is no different.
Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera
- Very easy to use. I took some pictures outside and they look great!
- I was looking for a point and shoot camera.I didn't have much trouble learning how to operate. It takes great photos.
- This is an inexpensive little camera that does a good job taking every day pictures ... just what I wanted.
- We purchased for a child and she loves it. Takes quality pictures and easy for her to use.
- Very poor picture quality and the photos are not usable, so don't waste your money.

What customers say about "Protection"
Fujifilm FinePix XP120 Outdoor Camera 16.4 megapixel
- I bought this for my husband as he did his open water Padi on holiday, which goes to 18 meters and for a first time use this was great. It's perfect for snorkling too.
- Camera allows me to go fishing or kayaking or camping and take magazine quality pictures without worry since the camera is waterproof.
- We bought because its waterproof and drop proof. It’s a work camera and used every day sometimes climbing up ladders and hasn’t broke.
- It is a good waterproof camera, if it was actually waterproof. Bought this camera for a vacation and the first time I put it in the water bubbles started coming out the lense.
- Absolutely NOT waterproof. Bought this to replace an aged model and it was a lemon straight out of the gate.
Panasonic Lumix DC-FT7 Waterproof Camera

- This is an excellent camera with great picture quality, the build and water resistance is solid.
- It has a lot of good functionalities, including 4K video, the quality of the pictures is ok and it looks resistant.
