Fujifilm FinePix XP60 Blue Waterproof Digital Camera

The Fujifilm FinePix XP60 is purpose-built for photographers who need a camera that goes where a standard compact cannot — into the water, onto the slopes, and out in the dust. Its 16.4MP CMOS sensor and 5x optical zoom (28–140mm equivalent) sit inside a body rated waterproof to 20 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, freezeproof to 14°F, and dustproof across all conditions. The sensor-shift optical image stabilization is a meaningful upgrade over fixed compacts in this use case, actively compensating for the camera shake that comes naturally from adventure shooting — paddling, hiking over uneven terrain, or holding the camera overboard for underwater perspective shots.

In the field, the XP60 handles like a well-thought-out rugged compact: the controls are accessible even with wet hands, and the anti-reflective 2.7-inch LCD holds up better than average in outdoor brightness. The 10fps burst mode gives you a genuine chance of catching a breaking wave at its peak or a child mid-jump, and the Full HD 1080p video rounds out the feature set for documenting a trip start to finish. This is a camera for the photographer who wants to leave the worry at home — not the shooter chasing studio-quality output, but someone who wants reliable, sharp images in conditions that would destroy or sideline most gear. Fujifilm's XP series has a long track record in this category, and the XP60 delivers that reliability in a pocketable package.
