Have now tested, including a week of snorkeling in Egypt ... on the whole I am very pleased with the performance of the camera! When you buy a waterproof camera, one should be aware that it costs a lot to make it dense and durable - this means that the image quality does not achieve quite the same...

Nikon Coolpix AW100
Even though the AW100 is Nikon's first attempt at a rugged compact camera, it doesn't show. The AW100 is easy to use, and has a range of features well suited to action adventurers and everyday photographers.
Pros:
- Action control is useful
- GPS updates with zero fuss
- Great-quality HD video for a camera in this class
Cons:
- Very limited exposure control
- Image detail falters at mid- to high-ISO levels

Nikon Coolpix AW100 review
The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is the first camera in the new Coolpix All Weather line. It's a rugged compact that's waterproof down to 10 metres for up to one hour, shockproof to a drop of 1.5 metres and freeze-proof for temperatures as low as -10C.

In the hand the AW100 feels robust - just as its specification suggests -and we found it easy to navigate through the shooting, movie and setup menus. Full HD video capture (1920x1080 @30fps) is also very quick to control, thanks to the dedicated movie-rec button directly below the zoom controls.

Nikon Coolpix AW100
You wouldn't think that the Nikon AW100 ($379.95 direct) is the company's first try at a rugged point-and-shoot camera . The 16-megapixel shooter manages to do just about everything right-capturing sharp images, surviving drops, geotagging your photos, shooting underwater, and grabbing 1080p30...
Pros:
- Sharp photos
- Waterproof to 33 feet
- Shockproof to 5 feet
- Full HD movies
- Action button
- Fast performance
Cons:
- Pricey
- So-so low-light performance
- Limited zoom range
- Focus issues while recording video

When my Nikon Coolpix L22 started to get old, with a broken battery cover, over 5000 images taken and a scratch on the lens, I started to look at my options for replacing it. I mountain bike a lot and like something I can have on my shoulder and can grab quick to capture a cool shot of a cool move...
Pros:
- Maybe its what I was used to before (Coolpix L22) but it's such an improvement in image quality over the last camera I owned .It can survive a 4-5 foot drop onto concrete or slick-rock
- I'm a klutz and this camera is great for me.
Cons:
- The battery life isn't the best when using the flash or zoom a lot
- That may be an issue for some of the longer rides i have planned this summer, Image stabilization and auto focus are slow when zoomed.., Grainy images at higher ISO
