Hope you continue enjoying your Fuji Paulo! This forum has been a great resource for me, recently joining. Ask any questions, and you will certainly get help!! Sharana

You are right. I will remain with the Olympus for noe! Thanks very much for ALL your help! I appreciate your time Milandro!!! Sharana

Have fun playing with your camera, and learning more about it. I have had mine a few months, and still learning it. I purchased a couple of books by Tony Phillips on amazon, and listened to the Fugi Guys on Utube and some other utubes. They were all very helpful! Glad you joined. I recently asked a question about the camera being waterproof or resistant. Members were so very, very helpful!! I was surprised at the amount of helpful responses. Sharana

Hi darknj! Thanks, I do have the Olympus Tough, older model. Wish it had more optical zoom, 5x. They are all 5X. However, guess I will stay with it because the high price of the Nikon. Glad that you agree the Olympus Tough series is good. That is encouraging, since I never really compared it with others. Seemed about the best when I bought it 5-6 years ago. Thanks very much for the time and help in your comment! Sharana

Thanks makes sense, I do not plan on diving, so will remain with my Fuji with dry weather and the Olympus for the rain Appreciate your time!! Sharana

Thanks so very, very much for asking. I don't think I will use it in the rain again. I used it once in a medium size rain, and was confident. But now, not so much. Guess I was lucky! THANKS Sharana

Thanks very much Vidalgo, I will investigate Fujifilm, never thought of it or knew they had one!! Thanks very much for your time and help!!! Sharana

Thanks, makes sense, I really did not study them, but they did seem similar. I will check out the Nikon AW1. I appreciate again so much your help !! This is my first time using the forum, you and everyone were so helpful!! I am just now reading the different between MultiQuote and quote. I also wanted to thank others, and not certain I did it correctly. Maybe I will try MutiQuote just to be certain. Sharana

THANKS Milandro, I will compare the olympus with the nikon coolpix aw 130 and the Fuji XP series to see if much difference with image quality for photo taking above water. I hope this helps others also, appreciate your time!!!! Sharana

Since I am not diving, I don't know how much difference it really makes between the Nikon and FujiXP series vs. the olympus I have. I will need to research the image quality. THANKS!!!!!

Thanks so much I will compare, I always thought that these type of cameras were all the same or very similar.. Of course I will not be using it underwater. The specs always seemed the same whatever the brand. But then there is quality, which I did not look closely at. I will look at the Fuji XP series and the Nikon. Great suggestion!! Thanks very much!!!!! Sharana

Sorry, missed some of this earlier. I most certainly appreciate everyone's comments!!!!! I think after reading the very helpful comments, about the certificate, and talking with the fuji staff, I will not be using it in the rain. It does seem unfortunately it could be a marketing ploy. However, the people who tried it under water and in the heavy rain, were very fortunate. I don't think I will try my luck with a $2000.00 camera, as Calumet told me when I bought it. It does state weather resistant, with some water sealed parts. That confused me. I have given it more thought because of everyone's comments. I think I will stick with my $200.00 underwater olympus camera for the rain. This is what I have done before, and the pics are not so bad. That way I will not worry! Thank you everyone for your time, insight, and concern in this matter. I have appreciated everyone's help immensely!!!!! You all are the BEST!!!! Sharana

Here is the video by the Fuji guys, it is mentioned in the beginning about the water resistance and being sealed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYZ_jJKMBc Sharana
