For a cruise that involved snorkeling and zip lining, we purchased this camera to supplement my DSLR. It was very rugged (dropped it once during our zip lining without an issues, even had no scratches). The underwater photography was excellent, although I had a hard time aiming it without my glasses. The pictures were sharp and well exposed. This is a good camera for the adventurous.

For a cruise that involved snorkeling and zip lining, we purchased this camera to supplement my DSLR.

The Fujifilm FinePix XP70 Digital Camera (Blue) is waterproof to 33', shockproof from 5', freezeproof to 14deg.F and dustproof. It also features a 16.4MP CMOS high speed sensor with a 5x 28-140mm optical zoom, Wi-Fi connectivity for one touch transfers to smartphones and tablets and captures full HD movies at 1080 even underwater. You can easily transfer images wirelessly from the FinePix XP70 to your smartphone or tablet after installing the free Fujifilm Camera Application app.
The FinePix XP70 can shoot 1920 x 1080-pixel full HD video. A dedicated movie recording button makes it easy to switch to movie recording mode with a single touch. The FinePix XP70 can freeze the action at up to an amazing 240 fps. So you can see every single minute detail and watch things happening step by step in slow motion. The camera also incorporates a number of advanced movie-editing features, including "movie trimming" to cut un-wanted footage from movies and "movie join" to join multiple separate clips into a single movie. Noise cancellation eliminates the sounds made by the zoom lens during recording. Wind noise is reduced during movie shooting with the wind noise reduction setting. 10 Advanced Filters are available to further enhance the aesthetic quality of imagery, including Pop Color, Toy Camera, Miniature, Partial Color (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple), High-Key, Low-Key, Dynamic Tone, Fisheye, Soft Focus and Cross Screen.
