FUJIFILM has unveiled their latest rugged camera, the new FinePix XP80, which enables all-action
photographers to take great pictures and movies before sharing them instantly. The 16.4 megapixel waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and dustproof compact features wireless connectivity for simple sharing and remote shooting with a smartphone or tablet along with a host of powerful picture taking features.
Supremely tough on four different levels
The FinePix XP80 complies with IP68 standards, this means it is waterproof to 50ft/15 metres, can withstand a drop of up to 5.8ft/1.75m, can operate in temperatures as low as 14°F/-10°C, and is dustproof to prevent dust or sand ingress. Further protection from the elements is offered by the double-lock mechanism on the battery/memory card compartment that prevents accidental opening.
Remote shooting and instant image and movie sharing
The FinePix XP80 comes equipped with wireless functionality for remote shooting. The Fujifilm Camera Remote app can be used on a smartphone to remotely control the camera.
In addition to remote shooting, wireless connectivity in the XP80 also allows users to select images or movies to be transferred to a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
LCD with anti-reflection coating
Given that the FinePix XP80 is likely to be used in bright, sunny conditions as well as inclement weather, an anti-reflection coating is applied to the rear LCD so it’s still easy to view or compose images on the beach or in snow. The LCD monitor also has an auto brightness function that adjusts according to the ambient light levels.
