Fujifilm XP150 Lens details

The Fujifilm XP150 comes with a built-in lens giving a focal range of 28-140mm giving it a 5.0 x zoom which might not be great however it could be valuable in certain circumstances.

At it's widest 28mm, the lens offers an aperture of f3.9 making it very sluggish and not ideal in low light events and you will probably find it hard to capture good bokeh. You would also need to boost your ISO which results in noisy images. At the long end, 140mm comes with f4.9 which is very slow and you will have to go with slower shutter speeds.

Fujifilm XP150 Connectivity

The Fujifilm XP150 has the following connectivity:

  • USB Yes
  • HDMI Yes
  • GPS Yes

Digital cameras that contain NFC or Bluetooth connectivity are able to be used wirelessly via smartphones. You can easily send files and at times adjust settings without the hassle of connecting directly with the camera.

Fujifilm XP150 Video details

The max video resolution in the Fujifilm XP150 is 1920 x 1080 and it can save in H.264 and Motion JPEG file format. 1080p resolution is an excellent balance in video quality and file size but 1080p isn't going to leave you with much room to downsample. The body does not have a mic or headphone port so you have got zero control over your audio. It is perhaps a better idea to consider a different model in case you need decent audio in your videos.
