Fujifilm FinePix XP140 Compact Digital Camera, Graphite

Product Information

This really is a fuss free camera that you can pick up and start shooting with straight away – for when you want to be focused on the action, rather than just camera settings. Your smartphone can probably take better pictures in good conditions, but it can't survive being dropped on the rocks or repeatedly dunked 25 metres underwater. The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. So do these improvements make it the default holiday choice for anyone looking for a cheap, smartphone stand-in?

Overall, the Finepix XP140 is a compact rugged camera that would appear to offer serviceable image quality and the ability to go a significant depth underwater.CameraWorld is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, registration number 689327. The new model retains the 5x zoom and 16 Megapixel sensor of its predecessor in a body that looks very similar.

Users need to download the free “FUJIFILM Camera Remote" app to their smartphone or tablet device to easily transfer photos and videos.But don’t expect to be filling the frame from vast distances, you’ll still need to be within shouting distance of your subject to get a good shot. On the bottom there's a tripod screw thread, and on the right-hand side there's a grippy twist wheel which gives you access to the battery, memory card and USB/HDMI ports.

Reproduction in whole or part in any form or medium without specific written permission is prohibited. Yes, we may lose a little definition and there's some visible softening at the extreme edges of frame when shooting at maximum wide angle, but in truth this is only really noticeable if you're actively looking for such instances. It rarely succeeds in transferring photos without some kind of human intervention and even then isn’t always successful.Intuitiveness and user friendliness is key to an action camera of any description, of course, as you want to spend less time fussing over settings and more time watching what you're doing. But that’s the thing – many of the situations that you might want to use the XP140 would easily kill your smartphone.

The Fujifilm XP140 has the same solid set of core features as the previous models with a few handy improvements. SMILE mode detects when you’re showing off your pearly whites, while Face Auto Shutter mode takes the pic when you’re facing the camera.Duologi is a trading name of Specialist Lending Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (register number 774712 ).
