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

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

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 .
