It shoots full high-definition videos at 30 frames per second and is able to shoot time-lapse videos as well. You can also shoot 16-megapixel still images with it.
It comes with a waterproof housing to protect the camera down to a depth of 30m.

After a four-year wait, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 is finally here.
It boasts a newly developed 24.3-megapixel X-Trans CMOS III image sensor (its predecessor used a 16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS image sensor), and a new X-Processor Pro image processor that is said to be four times faster than its predecessor.
The X-Pro2's autofocusing (AF) is a vast improvement from its predecessor.
But it still uses Fujifilm's unique hybrid viewfinder that lets you toggle between an optical viewfinder and an electronic viewfinder with a simple push of a lever.

It was an easy pick. The Nikon D7200 offers plenty of improvements over earlier models. Among them: a larger buffer for RAW images, better autofocusing performance in low light, built-in Wi-Fi and Near Field Communication and better battery life of 1,100 still images.
Plus, it has intuitive controls that make it a joy to handle. It even comes with two SD card slots, a feature usually found only in high-end DSLR cameras.

Planning to go diving or take an adventure trip during the school holidays? Take along the Olympus Tough TG-4 camera.
This 16-megapixel digital compact camera is waterproof down to a depth of 15m. It should survive being dropped from a height of 2.1m, and being in minus 10 degrees Celsius. The camera should also withstand a crushing force of up to 100kg, according to Olympus.
Its 25-100mm f/2.0-f/4.9 lens allows you to zoom in to capture that clown fish easily.
With its Underwater High Dynamic Range (UW HDR) shooting mode and a convenient dedicated UW setting on the mode-selector dial, you can easily switch to underwater mode to take better shots below the surface.
