Fuji Finepix XP170 Rating and Verdict (Source: http://www.pocket-lint.com)
The XP-series has carried an affordable price legacy. Until now. The XP170’s addition of Wireless Image Transfer hoiks this price point up beyond its XP150 predecessor, acquiring a more sizable £220 asking price.
But the XP170 sees no improvements in optical or image quality performance compared to its predecessor and, as a result, it lacks in the all-important camera department.
Yes it’s tough and waterproof and this aspect of the XP170 will serve any user well, and that, fundamentally, is why it justifies its score. But otherwise its pictures are below average, the shutter button feels stiff in use, the screen quality isn’t good enough and competitor models offer better autofocus.
Much of that might be forgivable if the XP170 maintained the more budget position of earlier models in the range. If Fujifilm is going to aim for a more technological user, it needs to back it up with the necessary quality. Sadly that lacks here.
