Fujifilm FinePix XP170-Water Proof and Shock Proof 14 MP Camera-Detailed Review and Price in USA

Seems to be a good time for rugged camera.Hot on the heel of Olympus,Fuji has outed their FinePix Xp170,a 14 MP shooter available in blue and orange outfit.

The XP170 can withstand drops from height of 6.5 feet,while  scoffing off water depths upto 32 feet.Even freezing temperature of -10 degree Celsius are not enough to impact the performance of the camera.

An impressive feature that Fuji has managed to pack into the  XP170 is that the camera can wirelessly transmit photos from the memory card onto an iOS or Android device.All that is required to initiate the  transfer successfully is the Fujifilm Photo Receiver app to be installed on the device to which the photos are being transferred.

The back-illuminated 14 MP sensor is sensitive up to ISO 3200 and also features a sensor-shift stabilization system.With regards to quality,the FinePix  XP170 can record full HD video,even underwater,with sound!Also featuring in the  XP170 is the 360 degree Panoramic Mode that works both in landscape and portrait orientation.All this is made possible thanks to the Fujinon lens that has a 5x optical zoom and an aperture angle of f/3.5 - f/8.

The Fuji FinePix  XP170 will go on sale for $279.99 in the US.
