Nikon Coolpix AW100
It's a fast camera that's designed to be easy to use in any situation, whether you're underwater or up to your knees in snow. Reviewers at PCMag.com, CNET (Asia) and ConsumerReports.org offer rigorous "torture" showing how durable the AW100 is. Amazon.com users are mostly happy with the camera.
Pros:
- Waterproof up to 33 feet
- Shockproof to 5 feet
- Weatherproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit
- Built-in GPS with maps
- Vivid 3-inch LCD
- Shoots HD video (1080p) with optical zoom

The Nikon COOLPIX AW100 is Nikon's first 'rugged' camera designed for those who lead an adventurous life and need a camera that will suitably do them proud.

I'm glad I purchased this at Costco. I can return it and try again... Very dissapointed with Nikon. I trust their dslr's, but I have had very bad luck with Nikon's small cameras.

Great Camera
Overall I got the camera on-sale for $250 and did a phenomenal job for that price point. For all the cool feature this camera has, it's by far one of the best options out there at it's price cost. I Highly recommend this camera for those looking to do lots of underwater activities.
Pros:
- I bought this camera a week before heading to Hawaii, as I had planned a lot of underwater activities
- It took great pictures underwater! whether it was in the shark cages, or general snorkeling
- For general picture taking, above water, the camera still more then excelled.
Cons:
- I noticed for prolonged underwater adventures
- that after about 20min
- once back on land
- opening the battery door their was a few drops of water(very very minimal) It seems like a great seal but some water did mange to get in.

Garbage
Bought this camera to replace my Olympus 8080 (with waterproof housing) for lightweight underwater pictures while on a vacation to Vietnam. Luckily I tried it before I left, and even more lucky was the fact that I had a backup, although a clumsy, cumbersome one at that.
Pros:
- Nice Body Color
Cons:
- Lag / Shutter Delay
- Poor Flash
- Poor Image Quality

Very happy with the picture quality of this camera both outdoors and underwater. Used and abused this camera in some wonderful outdoor environments where you wouldn't want to take a non waterproof camera.

Good CMOS censor but bad software. Wrong picture lighting
I brought this from Flipkart and very instant delivery. The camera has amazing COMS sensor quality and almost no red noise. But the problem lies in Software. Nikon as you know is very backward in software algorithms compared to sony.
