Great for kayakers and hikers

Everyone who boats or hikes likes to have photos to remind them of a favorite trip, and everyone wishes they had photos of those once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities that always seem to happen when no one has a camera. Problem is that not everyone wants to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a weatherproof/waterproof camera.

I've been recommending this little camera for years to my kayaking pals as something they can toss in their deck bag and have ready if and when that great photo opportunity comes up. It's certainly cheap, it takes fine pictures, and while not a camera suitable for divers, it easily survives rainstorms, snow, and the occasional dunking. As another reviewer noted, there's no flash, but most kayaking is done during daylight hours.

No doubt we'll eventually be able to buy disposable, waterproof digital cameras for only a few dollars more, but until film disappears from the marketplace the Fuji remains an excellent choice for outdoor adventurers
