Ahead of our full review, here are some sample images taken with the new Fujifilm FinePix XP140 waterproof compact camera. For the most part, this is a camera that is best suited to beginners, or at least those that can live without taking full control of every parameter. the Fujifilm FinePix XP140's flash produces noticeable vignetting with the lens at maximum wide angle, though fall-off is much less severe when you use longer focal lengths. If you’re on the lookout for an affordable holiday or day trip camera that can withstand some abuse, then the XP140 makes a compelling argument for a spot in your rucksack. 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.

With a backlit sensor on board, we even found the camera coped rather better than expected in low light or at night, despite the distinctly average f/3. and freezeproof to 10°C, the compact XP140 is the perfect accessory for capturing a variety of adventures. The XP140 got it right about half of the time, but the TOUGH TG-6 came out top for autofocus reliability in these conditions.CALS - Take pictures at size and image quality settings suitable for submission under Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism guidelines. In our testing with the XP140 successfully avoided red-eye and the flash produced only minor wide-angle vignetting from a distance of 1. Using it in the fully automatic mode, the scene recognition kicks in to good effect in the vast majority of situations.

On the right as you’re looking at it there’s a sealed door to the battery, card and ports compartment.
