Fuji Finepix XP10 Video Test July 2010

Fuji XP10 Camera test in 16x9 720p video mode. I just bought a new XP10 camera because I don't really like my Pentax W90 because it has too much flare. So this is the first trial run in sun and water down at English Bay about a block from where I live. It seems easy enough to use. The viewfinder isn't too bright in sunlight but, generally, I like this little camera.

I'm trying to decide between this camera and the Gopro. I might use the gopro for snorkeling but I like the fuijifilm for it's more like a camera and my brother told me that without action movies the gopros camera is squeaky. I'd like to know your opinion. :)

@Live4Dance14 There are a multitude of waterproof cameras now available. The GoPro2 is the latest GoPro HERO 2. The price has dropped considerably for the GoPro and the GoPro 2 now has an external microphone input.... BUT, without the external microphone, sound is always a bit of a problem with the GoPro as it is meant to be used INSIDE its waterproof housing. It requires setting the right settings on the program too. You may prefer the Fuji or similar waterproof camera.

@Live4Dance14 The GoPro 2 now has a lot more megapixels and will likely give a higher quality image, particularly snorkeling, but is a little trickier to use. Personally, I'd get the GoPro for the higher quality of image.

Was it the PENTAX Optio W90 you weren't happy with?

Do you think the Fuji Finepix XP10 is a better choice ?

Thanks for your time

@LowCostCncRetrofits I find the Pentax W90 a bit "pink" coloured in bright light but it is a very good little camera for overcast and shade situations. I like the feel of the W90 and that is the camera I carry around in my pocket (I never go anywhere without a camera). It's a hard choice to make and a bunch of new cameras have come out in the past year.  You may also want to check out the new Canon and Olympus all weather cameras. I think the Pentax was rushed to market.

@LowCostCncRetrofits Try to handle a variety of cameras in a store. The new cameras all seem to be getting better and better. My purpose in posting this video was simply to show anyone interested what the images look like in bright light and around water. I'm hoping people will make their own judgment based upon the image quality they see. I used to be a professional photographer so my standards are pretty high and low priced cameras are always a compromise. The W90 is good value for price.
