The Nikon coolpix has many good feature though low light performance isn't the best, the 16MP was amazing and the 1080p video was outstanding.

This camera is great for HD videos purpose only
If you want you could take good pictures, great videos in HD, great picture quality underwater and in the dark with the same camera, then bootless. Each camera model are good at specific things so please choose and use appropriately else you will be ranting like these other reviewers.

does what it says on the tin
I have had this camera now for 3 years and use it as my main digital camera .Pictures are all good and I go diving to about 70 ft and have no problem taking video and pictures . I need an extra battery when I go out all day taking pics as it struggles to last a full day .

Nikon Coolpix AW100 Review
When one thinks of rugged cameras, either Olympus or Panasonic are among the brands that one thinks of instantly. These brands have been launching tough, shockproof cameras for years and though a tad on the pricier side, they are extremely efficient and perform in the way they are intended to.

Nikon Coolpix AW100 review: Nikon Coolpix AW100
The rugged Nikon Coolpix AW100 is a fine choice for shallow water or dry land adventures -- just make sure you have plenty of light. Nikon came late to the rugged compact camera party, but its first entry, the Coolpix AW100, arrived prepared to handle some fairly rough treatment. It's rated to be waterproof down to 33 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, and freezeproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pros:
- The Nikon Coolpix AW100 has good rugged specifications for its price and solid GPS performance
- The camera is also fairly easy to use out of the box.
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.

A waterproof and shockproof camera that's fun and comfortable to use
Nikon's ruggedised, 'all weather' AW100 camera is lots of fun to use no matter the weather or your environment. It's waterproof to 10m, drop-proof from 1.5m and it also has a built-in GPS and world map so that the coordinates of your photos are recorded.
Pros:
- Rugged design
- Comfortable to use
- Geo-tagging
Cons:
- Sometimes struggled with exposure
- Video mode not great
- LCD hard to see when outdoors

Nikon AW100 review
Consider the Nikon AW100 if you're an outdoors type that can make use of the camera's rugged design. It's waterproof and shockproof, yet it doesn't really compromise when it comes to usability.
