Fujifilm XP90 Rugged Action Camera Becomes Official

The Fujifilm FinePix XP90 is a new tough action camera, a relatively minor update to last year’s XP80 rugged model.

The XP90 is waterproof to 50ft/15m, can withstand a drop of up to 5.8ft/1.75m, will still operate in temperatures as low as 14°F/-10°C and is dustproof to prevent the intrusion of dust or sand. The only major new feature is the LCD, which received a bump in both size and resolution (3″ vs 2.7″ and 920k vs 460k-dot).

The XP90 can also serve as an action cam, with support for standard mounts and a dedicated mode which turns off the LCD for extended battery life. An optional 18mm equivalent wide-angle conversion lens is also available.
