Best Digital Waterproof Camera for Family Trips

Waterproof, Shockproof, Freezeproof, and Dustproof!

If you are looking for a great camera that you can take out on day trips or holidays with the kids, that will take great quality images but is resistant to everyday knocks and bumps and maybe a little (or a lot of rain!), spilled drinks and the occasional drops and bangs. In other words a child friendly waterproof camera that the whole family can use then the Fujifilm FinePix XP30 is a great choice, this camera is waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, and dustproof and has the added functionality of GPS Geo-tagging, a must for visiting new places!
Hang on - Why do I need GPS Geo-tagging? And more importantly, what is GPS Geo-tagging?
Good question! this camera will not only tell you where you are but has a unique photo navigation feature, so for example, say you were on a nature trail with the family and you stopped off somewhere to have a picnic, took a few photos as you ate and continued on your way. Now a couple of hours later and you are on your way back again, but nothing look's familiar, usually that's a mild panic, kid's are getting cross and tired and you all want is to get home.
Well that's where your camera comes in really handy, remember those photos you took earlier? Simply find a shot of the location and the FinePix XP30 will tell you how far it is from where you are,and it will show you the direction you need to travel to get there. Now that in my book is invaluable in a camera!
