LCD and Viewfinder
Fujifilm XP80 has a Fixed Type 2.7″ LCD screen with a resolution of 460k dots. At only 2.7″, the screen is on the smaller side and 460kdot resolution is lower than most of the recent models in this class.
XP80 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 (Compare) or Canon PowerShot SD780 IS (Digital IXUS 100 IS) (Compare). If the price is not an issue, take a look at our Top Rated Cameras with Viewfinders.

Connectivity and Storage
Fujifilm XP80 features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11/b/g/n) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our XP80. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect XP80 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery Fujifilm XP80 is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 210 according to CIPA standards.
Considering that the average battery life of Compact type cameras is 255 shots, Fujifilm XP80 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend XP80 owners to buy some extra batteries.
