Fuji FinePix Z33WP
First Impressions Review

Fujifilm is taking the plunge with the FinePix FZ33WP, the company's first waterproof point and shoot camera, priced at $199.99. We tried a pre-production model of the 10-megapixel camera at the PMA show in Las Vegas, and it looked to be an interesting choice for a day at the beach; the camera is cute, small and comes in a variety of colors to match this year's swimsuit color. However, it is a bit awkward to handle.
