Nikon Coolpix AW100 16 MP CMOS Waterproof Digital Camera
I had an awful experience one time when I was traveling and I accidentally slipped my digital camera from my hand and banging it on the floor because I was not used to wearing gloves during winter. Since then I was looking for digital cameras which are shock-proof.

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.

Cons:
- Buttons a bit small and tightly clustered
- Auto White Balance easily fooled under artificial lighting

Nikon Coolpix AW100 is good rugged choice, but not without limitations
The GPS performance in my review camera was solid and turning it on and off is easier than in most competing rugged compacts. Photo and video quality are very good if you have a lot of light and you don't need large prints or mind doing a little sharpening after you shoot.
Pros:
- The Nikon Coolpix AW100 has good rugged specifications for its price and solid GPS performance.
Cons:
- The AW100's slow lens requires more use of high ISO settings or slow shutter speeds
- Its controls feel spongy and occasionally unresponsive due to the waterproofing and the body's somewhat slippery
