Nikon Coolpix AW100 Review

Rock climbing, snorkelling, skiing, running or walking in all weathers; Nikon's Coolpix AW100 is the companies entry into a growing camera market segment that is aimed at the more outdoorsy type of snapper; it looks a very capable camera too.
Pros:
  • Feature rich
  • Waterproof
  • Freeze proof and shockproof
  • Filter adapter
  • Good image quality
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Power usage (particularly with GPS switched on)
  • Image Noise

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.

Got this camera a few days ago and am very impressed with this small piece of kit. Very happy with the 1080P video recording and Picture quality is nice. It takes a bit of skill getting good quality shots in low light conditions but it is doable.

If you're looking for a new digital camera, you might want a waterproof camera even if you don't have solid plans to take it in the water. While water, rain, snow, spills and dust can damage regular cameras, waterproof digital cameras are safe from all of those things.
Pros:
  • This durable camera is effective to a depth of up to 30 feet and has a useful GPS tracking feature
Cons:
  • The sensitive buttons can cause problems when you're in a hurry to capture a shot

Looks like new. I did have to plug the battery in the charger a couple of times to get it to start charging (could be why it was returned), but it works fine now.

this Nikon coolpix 100 has a serious problem, you can not down load pictures onto most devices without the Battery level Icon stamped on your picture. it's okay to put them into your computer, but good luck on playing the video part, I have talked to Nikon about this and they are trying to come up...
