Nikon Coolpix AW100
Overall, the Nikon AW100 worked well enough, but I really did have a tough time with the buttons. They're just too hard to press. I took a lot of shots with EV set inadvertently to underexpose (a whole outing, in fact, which has never happened before -- and before goes back to 1998).

- Appealing design
- Waterproof
- shockproof and freezeproof
- Large
- textured shutter button
- Very little geometric distortion
- Close macro shooting
- Accurate viewfinder
- Fairly high resolution
- Fast startup time
- Full-autofocus shutter lag is fast
- Good shot-to-shot cycle time
- Good autofocus in low
Cons:
- Buttons are hard to press
- Lens has soft corners that extend fairly far in toward center
- both wide and telephoto
- Lower contrast at telephoto (not unusual
- though
- Lens is a little dim (starts at f/3.9
- Moderate chromatic aberration in some shots
- Flash overwhelms in close quarters
