Fujifilm XP80 Sensor and Photography Features

Fujifilm XP80 has a 16.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . You can shoot at maximum resolution of 4608 x 3456 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. XP80 has a native ISO range of 100 - 6400 but unfortunately, Fujifilm XP80 doesn't have RAW file support. If you need a Compact camera with a RAW support, consider Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) or Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) in the same price range.

Fujifilm XP80 is not the highest resolution Small Sensor camera. Kodak Astro Zoom AZ651 with its 21.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Fujifilm XP80 vs Kodak Astro Zoom AZ651 or take a look at Highest resolution Waterproof cameras list.

Let's look at how the size of the Fujifilm XP80's 1/2.3" sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

Fujifilm XP80 Lens

Fujifilm XP80 features a 28-140 mm F3.9-4.9 5× zoom lens. Lens has a good wide angle capability starting at 28mm and 140mm reach on tele gives a lot of flexibility and satisfy most of your needs.

XP80 is also equipped with Sensor-shift image stabilization system which is very handy especially at lower shutter speeds.

Fujifilm XP80 LCD

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 Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) (Compare) or Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) (Compare).
If the price is not an issue, take a look at our Top Rated Cameras with Viewfinders.

Fujifilm XP80 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

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.
