¿ Subespecie destinada a perdurar ?
Steve’s Digicams nos ofrece el análisis a fondo de una cámara aventurera. Bueno, no aventurera al estilo de las GoPro. Más bien debía haber dicho de las de tipo «antitanque» a prueba incluso de niños y en la playa.
Se trata de la Fuji FinePix XP170, y como estoy casi seguro de que no recordáis cuales son sus características os la recuerdo yo aquí.
Como siempre, en los análisis de Steve, os pongo a continuación los pros y los contras de su apartado conclusión.
Hala, que las compactas también tienen derecho a la vida, y quizás esta subespecie de las antitanques sea una de las pocas que sobrevivirán al envite de los «smartphones» y artilugios asimilados.
