The Essential Review This is TechRadar’s review summary that gives you all the key information you need if you’re looking for quick buying advice in 30 seconds – our usual full, in-depth review follows. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Sony Xperia XZ are water resistant, but would you take them skiing or snorkelling? Probably not, which is the gap in the market that Fujifilm is going for with its new XP130.     An update on the XP120 and no bigger or heavier than the average pocket-sized compact, this is one well-protected camera. It’s waterproof to 20m, freeze-proof to -10C, and it can be dropped onto rock from 1.75m. There’s a 28-140mm zoom lens with a variable maximum aperture of f/3.9-4.9. It’s got a fixed 3-inch LCD display, but it’s no touchscreen functionality. There’s no viewfinder either.  Although it has its good moments, the 16.4MP XP130 struggles in dull light, and has a short battery life of just 240 shots. In short, it’s not much more versatile than a smartphone…apart from in one key area; its tough physical design. Image 1 of 7Image 2 of 7Image 3 of 7Image 4 of 7Image 5 of 7Image 6 of 7Image 7 of 7Who’s it for and should I buy it? You’ve got a hike planned, but bad weather is predicted. You’re going diving or snorkeling and want to take photos underwater. You’ve got a skiing or snowboarding trip, or fishing expedition, coming up soon. These are all scenarios that would suit a ‘tough’ camera like the XP130, which out-does both smartphones and most other cameras in the outdoor design department.  It's perhaps most likely to be purchased for its waterproof prowess (it’s good for a depth of 20m), but an ability to work in temperatures as low as -10°C/14°F (most smartphones pack-up at 0°/32°F) makes the XP130 an option for ski trips, where it can easily fit in a pocket of a ski jacket or a pair of salopettes. Fujifilm FinePix XP130 priceCurrent price: £149 / $199 / AU$299The Fujifilm FinePix XP130 is the most affordable ‘rugged’ camera aroundFeels tough, but also remains pretty lightweightWaterproof down to a depth of 20m / 65ftWi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity optionsFujifilm FinePix XP130 specs Sensor: 1/2.3-inch, 16.4MP Lens: 28-140mm, f/3.9-4.9  Screen: 3.0-inch, 920K dots  Viewfinder: No  Continuous shooting: 10fps Movies: Full HD 1080p/60fps Battery life: 240 shots Travel cameras should be lightweight, so the XP130’s chassis is impressively tough while remaining lightweight. The XP130 also looks the part, and for a rugged camera, that means armour. Not surprisingly, the XP130 has ruggedized grips on its corners, a large shutter button for easy access when underwater, and a garish white, blue, yellow, silver or lime color scheme. We’ve never been completely sure why so-called tough cameras feel the need for a look-at-me color scheme, but it's standard practice.  So how does the XP130 differ from Fujifilm’s last tough snapper, the XP120? The main difference is an extra 5m of waterproofing; you can take it down to a depth of 20m#FujifilmFinePixXP130, #review
