Underwater Magic

Post by jaimeneefs

Hands down one of coolest specs about the FinePix XP10 is the waterproof feature.  I’m not talking the kind of waterproof where it’s still advised to avoid water.  I mean full-blown underwater madness.  And the first time I did it, well, it was wet’n’wild!

Of course I knew my camera was fully functional underwater, but actually testing it out was more nerve-racking than you would think.  It took a lot of convincing to actually take the plunge (literally!)  Not to take away from the shockproof feature though, which is mighty handy as well.  Actually, perhaps it’s more handy for someone a bit more accident-prone.  Perhaps someone like Al Hal (zing!)

But, as promised, the camera made amazing pictures underwater, in the rain, and in a water park.  Hold your breath and take a look!
