For those who always think that underwater photography will involve bulky and expensive housing to waterproof the cameras, then Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP might change your views. This first Fujifilm waterproof camera boast 10 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom and several enhancement features like Fuji’s Automatic Scene Recoginition, Face detection, and automatic red eye removals. Sounds promising don’t you think? Well, let’s get the reviews of this underwater camera.
Fujifilm Z33WP coolest feature might be their ability to handle underwater photography. However, the depth is limited to only 3m deep that diver might find unsufficient to their regular diving activities. For someone who spend their holiday in some underwater vacation spot, this camera may still come in handy though.
The fact that the Z33WP is a waterproof camera means that Fujifilm designed this camera a little tougher than the regular ones, just like they slogan about Finepix Z33WP as a camera that is ready accompany you through your adventure, and it does. This 10 Megapixel camera can give pretty decent photos and offers ISO levels from100 to 1600, but it worked well only if you have enough lighting. You will notice quite prominent noise when you take your shot indoors, unlike Fujifilm J30 produce quite decent images at ISO 400.
Z33WP video recording ability was surprisingly pretty good, we were very impressed by their audio quality. Their 2.7 LCD screen with 230k resolution also gives good display even in strong light. This Fujifilm camera have 50MB internal memory and SD card expansion slot that was rarely found in waterproof cameras.
To conclude this Z33WP reviews, despite their limitation to 3m deep and works best almost only in outdoor scene, considering that the price is below $150, this waterproof camera is though, user friendly and a good deal for those who have interest taking photo underwater.
