Fujifilm FinePix XP140 Compact Digital Camera, Graphite

Product Information

New features for this year's model include a higher-resolution rear LCD screen, a new underwater mode, more versatile macro options, and high-speed recording modes for video. The camera’s lens protrudes from the top of the camera to give it a sort of bug-eyed appearance that may also appeal to kids – one of the biggest audiences for this kind of camera. The XP140 is now capable of movie recording in 4K quality for the first time in its series’ history. The new model retains the 5x zoom and 16 Megapixel sensor of its predecessor in a body that looks very similar. 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.

This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. In program auto mode you get three focus mode choices, area AF, centre AF and tracking and of those, centre AF is your best bet for subjects like this. megapixels of exceptional clarity, zoom in for the close-up with 5x optical zoom, and it's all kept super-sharp with image stabilisation. Are the shots it produces equally robust in terms of their visuals, or do they fall apart under pressure? Overall though, a slightly better than expected showing from this otherwise unassuming digital camera.So the Finepix XP140 does ok for macro shot’s but if you like to get in really close, you can’t beat the microscope modes on the TOUGH TG-6. As noted earlier, its manufacturer claims the grip – as subtle as it is – on the Fuji XP140 has been 'improved' over its predecessor. FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is delighted to announce the launch of the FinePix XP140, the latest tough camera in the XP series.

While most of us probably won’t venture further than the deep end of the swimming pool, for those who like scuba diving and similar, having those kinds of depths available is really useful. The other two buttons on the top plate, framed by small industrial looking screws either side that subtly reinforce the toughened prowess of this model, are a marginally raised on/off button that's marked as such, plus a slightly recessed red record button self-evidently illustrated with a graphic for a movie camera. One other thing to note here, the specification will tell you the Finepix XP140 close focusing distance is 9cm, but in practice I got much closer than that – around 4cm.

Beneath these again is a similarly 'old school' four-way control pad that features a menu/OK button at its centre and options ranged around it, spread between image delete or exposure compensation adjustment (a modest +/- 2EV), flash settings, self timer options plus 'Fn' function button, that in default mode brings up the Fuji XP140's key shooting modes and digital effects, in the absence of a dedicated shooting mode dial which would here of course compromise the camera's water and dust proof capabilities. The good news is that the XP140 retains the 1080/50/60p and 720/50/60p and adds 24fps video at 1080 and 720 resolutions in addition to a new square video mode. 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.

Fujifilm's years of experience are reflected with its colour reproduction technology, which ensures beautiful colours in all conditions. Though we found there was some loss of definition at the very edges of frame when shooting at maximum 28mm equivalent wide angle setting and some loss of highlight detail (and visibility of pixel fringing) under particularly bright conditions (where an manual option is to simply dial the exposure compensation down), under most circumstances we found the images from the Fujifilm XP140 to be rather better than we expected from a camera of this ilk.
