The battery didn't last quite as long as I expected, but I won't really blame the camera for that as I was probably using it more than I realized.

I’ve found both the XP130 and the XP120 to suffer from this, so it’s not just a defect in a particular camera. The new FinePix XP70 enables all-action photographers to take great pictures and movies before sharing them instantly. It’s easy to see what you’re shooting (so long as you’re not wearing polarizing sunglasses—more on that below), and the results look good when you’re playing them back. the Go 3’s highest video setting can’t compete with rival action cameras on resolution or frame rate.In-depth testing Latest Camera Reviews Beyond the studio tests Feature Articles and Videos see how we see Sample Galleries real world performance Field Test Videos Throwback Thursday Classic Cameras from Days Past What's that Noise?

Since it’s wrapped in waterproof plastic, I didn’t bother with a camera bag and just tossed the whole camera into my beach bag. Its Action Pod is only splashproof, but the tiny Insta360 Go 3 itself is waterproof to 5m, while AquaVision 2. This summer I upgraded to the FUJIFILM XP140 and the main feature to me that I am loving is the ability to bluetooth sync the photos from the camera to my phone via an app! Overall, I’ve found that the auto-exposure algorithm leans towards underexposure, and I’ve found it hard to get consistent results in the kind of bright and contrasty outdoor conditions that you’ll probably be wanting to use a rugged, waterproof camera like this in. In a win for swimmers, waterproof has been boosted to 18m, meaning it can comfortably out-dive the GoPro Hero 12 Black.

The camera can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, or directly to a Fujifilm Instax instant printer enabling you to directly print instant photos from the camera.

There’s a separate shutter button for photos and video, so there’s no need to turn a dial to switch between photo and video modes. This caught me out the first time–I thought the camera was DOA–but turning the battery around solved it. I didn't take any in lower light with this one (It's not really meant for that anyway and I had my regular camera for that). If you want an underwater camera with realistic colors and super sharp centers, you don’t want a disposable film camera.Because the sensor is stabilized and back-illuminated, the XP140 can deliver great results underwater, while the sizeable display makes framing easy even with goggles on.

On the back there's a 3-inch 920k dot LCD monitor and next to this on the left are w/t (wide and telephoto) buttons for zooming in and out. Securely close the battery-chamber cover and rinse the camera under the tap or leave it in a basin of fresh water for about ten minutes. Designed as a GoPro rival, the DJI Osmo Action 4 edges out the GoPro Hero 12 black in a few key ways. I was expecting a disposable camera that was able to stay in tact and take clear photos while being in the water and that’s exactly what we got.Say what you want about millennials and Gen Z, but we’re bringing back old-school film cameras and hair scrunchies.
