Fujifilm Z33WP Reviews: Finepix Digital Compact Camera

+ The underwater function kept the kids occupied for hours and playback is great quality. Movie quality is great - I filmed my son on a rollercoaster and didn't lose image focus once.

- The battery doesn't last as long as other cameras I've owned - it would be good if you could buy a back up battery so you always have one on charge. If using all the functions, the battery wouldn't last for a whole day out.

+ underwater feature

- night photo quality

+ Very easy to use in all conditions. Small so perfect to fit in a handbag but great enough quality to use as a main camera for any use. Easy to use buttons as well. A really great little camera!

+ it has everything I require from a camera

- no operating instrucions in book format - only on disc.

+ easy to use, a great little camara

- Needs shutter cover, also Microphone is where my finger naturally rests when holding the camara. I would like to see some grippy type rubber to stop it slipping from the fingers then it would be nearly perfect.

+ Very small and light. Face recognition feature is brilliant.

- Doesn't float in water - why do waterproof cameras never do that ?

+ Compact size, easy to use functions...a good all round point and shoot camera.

- Playback slow as it scan through pictures. Continious shooting mode disapointing.

+ Ideal for purpose intended , water sports .small compact

- No lens cover

+ large screen, easy to use.

- the wrist strap isnt adjustable so am always scared im gonna drop it. no shutter over the lense so can get scratched and fingerprints easily.

+ size, waterproof

- autofocus not really sensible

+ robust, good choice in menu,

- 1:Use of the buttons (ie zoom) during video mode can be heard during pay back so pretty much ruins any published movie you have made from those clips on the PC.
2: when you are in menu mode, once you have chosen your particular option the menu mode closes down, very irritating having to go back to the begining every time.
3: In Auto scene mode the flash sometime "whites" out the photo. I thought the point of this mode was that it found "the best" scene setting.

+ Very easy to use and set up
Love the underwater feature - and much clearer pictures than anticipated

- There is a slight time delay between pushing the shutter button and the picture being taken - unless in action mode. It would be good to not have any delay on auto.
Getting to the sports mode etc. can take a litte time - any shortcuts?

+ The waterproof feature is very useful

- The buttons don't light up so it's hard to see what's what at night

+ I got this camera for my birthday and was not disappointed at all! Great little camera. Took it on holiday to Egypt and used it alot in the water and it was excellent. The quality of the underwater pictures is very good and the pictures it takes out of the water are also of very good quality.
This camera is incredibly easy to use and has some great features. For the price i couldn't have asked for a better camera.

- The only thing that I have noticed (and it's a very small thing) is that the images sometimes are a little blurry in low light conditions.

+ Really nice neat little camera, easy to use.

+ Waterproof, compact, funky colours

- Low optical zoom

+ I purchased this camera to use while snorkelling on holiday, and I was not dissapointed. It takes great underwater video's, and the pics are not bad either even though I wish they were a little sharper. But then again I am very fuzzy with quality. Best quality underwater camera going at this price range!

- Underwater pictures could be sharper. The night pictures could be sharper too.

+ The size of this camera is good, and the choice of colours are really good.

- No bad points to this camera

+ solidly built, fast switch-on, easy point and shoot, good quality images

- menu navigation a little clumsy

+ Waterproof, Easy to use, fast and nice design

- Image quality (size) and a small battery pack

+ I love this camera - it's awesome. Was a bit nervous about taking it underwater as it looks far too pretty but the quality of underwater pictures is really good. Easy to use except at night as the buttons don't light up but once you have used it a few times you can work it out. Brilliant video feature with good sound quality and all in a shiny green package.

- Can't really find anything to maon about.

+ SIMPLE TO OPERATE; FINE DEFINITION; WATERPROOF WITHIN TOLERANCES; FUN COLOURED

- DOES NOT USE XD CARDS

+ Easy to use, great pictures above and under-water.

- None

+ very easy to workout and use

- wrist strap has no stopper

+ Easy to use, small enought to take anywhere and even my four year old nephew could operate it under water!!

+ Fab, I bought one for my 5 year old too, far better than the kiddie ones as she can drop it, swim with it and there are no lenses for sand to get stuck in! Real winner.. I am very pleased and the photos are good too.

+ simple to use, easy, ideal for teenage video bloggers and budding film-makers

+ Small and easy to use underwater

- None really

+ This Camera is so good for family shots in pool and sea on holiday and then as a point and shoot for everyday use. It has its own plug in recharger so no more trying to find AA bateries. Well worth the cost.

- Can't think of any

+ excellent al round camera

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use, lots of features

- no european adapter

+ easy to handle easy to use

- image on screen when taking the photo can appear grainy until the shot is taken when it is perfect

+ Simple to use and really good quality camera - looks great too.

- Takes a long time to go through a lot of photos on the play function on the camera.

+ Waterproof

- Only has LCD screen - useless in high ambient light conditions.

+ being able to take good pictures at night

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Nice and compact, great quality photos! Easy to use in the water. I like the rechargeable battery!

- small delay from when you hit the shutter button, so with fast situations it's a little tricky to time it right. Also, it would be cool if it hid a quick sequence feature ( like 4 fast shots with one click of the button).

+ Feels robust and van withstand sand and ester.

- Image quality is not as good as i hade hoped.

+ attractive little camera, brought in pink for my 8 year old daughter. child friendly, easy to operate, good value, waterproof.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very clear iamage on screen

- Worried about there being no lense cover

+ It is so small and compact, yet takes fantastic photos. My wife and I bought the camera for my sons birthday and with out using it first he took it straight on holiday to America. Now, no disrespect to my son but he is not the most technical person in the world, (as his father is not either). Having said that the photos taken with the camera are fantastic with not a bad one amongst them.

- I would have liked a quality case to come with it being the price the camera is but I can only guess the reason is to keep the price as low as possiable. The other thing is why no written/printed full instruction book as I tryed twice to print off the cd disc on two accations alas with no success, I found this VERY FRUSTATING.

+ Soild, Robust - an ideal first (serious) camera for a child and very good value from SimplyElectronics.

- Image quality isn't brilliant, but to get better image quality in a waterproof camera you need to spend double what you do for this camera.

+ Good little camera bought specifically for a diving holiday in Egypt. Very easy to use in the water good image on both pics and video

- Did let water in one day but we dried it out fine and think this was caused by extreme temp change from hot beach bag to colder water so avoided this happening again and had no problems. Also had a problem on one occasion only with the battery charging which meant we didn't get pics of swimming with turtles on one day which was dissapointing.

+ Good small easy to use ideal personal camera

- The camera does not have a manual viewfinder to look through only the screen which is impossible to see in bright sunlight therefore many pictures are guesses. there should be an attachable screen shade to avoid the sunlight.

+ waterproof

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use point and click for great photos

- none that i can see

+ good quality pictures underwater,small,therefore easy to swim with ,excellent battery life. Fuji remains the best for underwater pictures. We have had two previous Fujis(with waterproof case) and a pentax optio and a olympus tough. In terms of penetration under water the Fuji outclasses the others and produces superior pictures with excellent colour

- battery/ card slot fiddly to open. As a waterproof camera, the strap should have a toggle on it to prevent it coming off the wrist while swimming

+ very easy to use small and compact

- no case in the box

+ I find the controls much easier than those on other brands, this and the water-proofness were my main purchasing points

- There is no viewfinder and the screen is unreadable in strong light making summer photography extremely challenging. Its REALLY bad.

+ Able to use it underwater

- Haven't developed a photo to see the quality of print outs

+ Waterproof and handy, I took pix that I would otherwise have missed simply because it was in my pocket all the time. I only used it one weekend so far, the main reason for buying it is to take when kayaking or rafting when I won't risk my SLR.

- You can only setup shots from the screen view, there's no viewfinder and it's VERY hard to see in bright light, but for the price it's wonderful, no complaints considering it was a waterproof and under £100!

+ Easy and very good handheld.

- no any time stabilisator

+ Used the camera whilst snorkelling in the Caribbean and it was fantastic - did exactly what it says. Photos out of the water are equally as good.

- Very difficult to see the screen under water, so it was just a matter of "point and shoot" and hope you get what you wanted. It would be useful if the camera strap had a lock on it for when you are swimming so it doesn't slip off you wrist (something like on the strap for the Wii controller).

+ small and neat camera with very good picture quality and enough features to get you by on holiday

- The battery life is very short and does not last the amount of shot stated.I found it small for my hands but still usable

+ Excellent value for money, water proof camera. If you are looking foraffordable 'action' camera....this is it!

- Bit on the small side (some people may like this feature). Only 3x optical zoom......but it's designed for fun not Davis Bailey

+ Ease of use, compact, very light, great underwater pics and easy to use video recording, all in all a very handy little camera

- Battery time

+ Small

- Lens is where I would hold the camera. I need to adjust my grip so my finger does not obstruct the lens

+ I'ts A very usefull camera very simpel in use and makes very satisfying pictures
A made several pictures in the red see Egypt and I'm very satisfied.

- The only thing I would recomend is an other strap, longer so you can hang it around your neck
And later in the water secure it around your wrist.
A had to made something myself, pitty it wasn't delivered with it.

+ easy to use

- none

+ Robust, can put in pocket and go
Used in water park with excellent results
Picture quality better than any other camera I have owned

- none

+ This camera is extremely easy to use. It has a smart mode which makes it very simple to take photographs and movies with. It does not have lots of additional features, but for someone who doesnt know what half of them mean and simply wants to take decent photographs and movies, its ideal. We have yet to try the camera under water but will try this feature out when we travel to Egypt at Christmas.

- None

+ Compact and Waterproof!

- no protection for the lense.

+ VAST ARRAY OF SHOOTING MODES AND EASY TO OPERATE; GREAT SCREEN WITH GOOD COLOUR

- SMALL ON/OFF SWITCH; BATTERY COMPARTMENT FIDDLY TO UNDO

+ underwater feature
