Intelligent Scene Recognition
Adding ease to outdoor navigation, the water proof digital cameras - FinePix Z33WP is equipped with a new SR Auto (Automatic Scene Recognition) mode that enables the camera to intelligently recognize six types of scenes automatically.

Review by Tod P. Zechiel:

I purchased water proof digital cameras - FinePix Z33WP for outdoor use while kayaking. I have no intention of using it underwater, but having lost two cameras to water damage; I opted for something waterproof. 

The water proof digital cameras - FinePix Z33WP Pluses:

1. The function buttons are tops – easy to find and press. 
2. With tapered edges, the camera goes in my pocket easily. 
3. Movie audio surprizingly good. 
4. Multiple digital pixel settings – as low as 100 KB for photos at the lowest setting – I e-mail my dad photos, he has dial-up so short attachments are critical. 
5. Photo quality color and resolution is good, including macro. 
6. LCD display is good, even in strong sunlight 
7. Menu choices are fairly intuitive. 
8. Battery life seems good so far. 
9. SD card – not that many waterproof cameras allow the use of 
the common SD card. 

The water proof digital cameras - FinePix Z33WP Minuses

1. Indoor shots are have noise. 
2. No hardcopy, comprehensive manual, just an unbound, brief multifolded paper. The comprehensive manual is on a CD. Then again, if you are around water, FUJI may figure you aren't going to take a paper manual with you. 
3. Propriety USB cable for downloads – yet another cable to keep seperate from a dozen other propriety cables me and my family has. 

Summary: The Water proof Digital Cameras - Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP exceeds my expectation for outdoor use. Granted, the photos in lower light settings have some noise, but most of my photos are in bright daylight. If I am going to an indoor event with low light, I'll take my Canon that is not waterproof.
