Pros: Waterproof, Small, Lightweight, Easy to use, Simple navigation, Quick access to video
Cons: Mediocre image quality, Proprietary battery

After several years of good service, it was time to replace my old FujiFilm FinePix A500 digital camera. It wasn't a perfect camera, but it lasted for quite a while and ...

Pros: Waterproof, (relatively) inexpensive, compact.
Cons: Image quality is only average.

I just came back from a vacation in Hawaii and bought the Fujifilm Z33WP at the last minute before we left on the trip.  It's main advertised virtue is that it's waterproof to 10 feet and I wanted a relatively inexpensive camera to take ...

Pros: waterproof sort of
Cons: horrible pictures

DO NOT Waste your money on this junk camera.  its shutter speed is slower than those digi disposables.  Every shot is blurry.  Don't be swayed by the decent pixels.  My 2.5 pixel a few years back blows this junk away.  It seems to me they built a $20 camera, put some cheap rubber seals here and there and market it as "waterproof" then sell it for $170 plus.  I will never buy a fuji product again.

Pros: Compact and easy to carry around...Funky colours my kids loved the colour....easy to use.
Cons: One drop and flush my $250 bucks down the drain...

Went to Cuba and picked up this camera for snorkeling for $220 CDN at Wal-Mart .  Second day in Cuba my daughter and wife were passing the camera and dropped it.  Camera never worked again.  We really liked it for the size and convenience and we also thought it took decent pics.  Might buy another one and purchase the protective cover for it.  We will see. 
Underwater pics were good again not great.
Underwater video was very good but the play back you hear lots of bubbles from you taking the video.
What I was surprised with was the quality of pics the camera took in Auto mode.  We have 3 other digital cameras and this little underwater camera could hold its own.  For two days I was happy to carry around this little camera and take scenery pics.  After it broke I really appreciated its size when I had to lug my Panasonic Lumix for the rest of the week.
