Nikon Coolpix AW110 Review

The rugged Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a modest update to its predecessor, the AW100. It can go deeper under water and adds Wi-Fi, but still suffers at high ISO settings. The Nikon Coolpix AW110 ($349.95 direct) is the follow-up to the AW100, a tough compact that won our Editors' Choice award when we reviewed it back in late 2011. The 16-megapixel AW110 improves upon the earlier model in small ways, including an improved underwater depth rating and built-in Wi-Fi, but it's not a drastically different camera. Other tough cams have added wider-aperture lenses, macro LED lights, and other features that make the category a bit more competitive. Our Editors' Choice rugged compact is one of those, the Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS( at Amazon); it's only $30 more than the Nikon, and packs an f/2 lens that makes it a more versatile low-light shooter. Design and Features The AW110($399.99 at Amazon) follows the traditional tough camera design scheme. The lens is an internal zoom design, located in the top corner of the body. The camera itself measures 2.6 by 4.4 by 1 inch and weighs 6.9 ounces. Its tough exterior can survive drops from a 6.6-foot height, can oper...
Pros:
  • Sharp OLED display
  • Built-in Wi-Fi with remote viewfinder support
  • Integrated GPS
  • Waterproof to 59 feet
  • Action button
  • 5x zoom range
Cons:
  • Not the best performance in low light
  • Narrow aperture compared with the competition
  • Image sharpness suffers at edges of frame
  • So-so high ISO image quality

No Saltwater Proof !! No Snorkelling !

I bought this Nikon just for Hawaii, Underwater pictures. After 20 minutes, & some poor pictures, it just DIED. Like other Reviewers, this camera may be waterproof @ your backyard pool, or rainy park, Not in Saltwater ocean. I do own Nikon SLR, & Pocket Coolpix, they are great with sharp pictures.
Pros:
  • pocket size
Cons:
  • not waterproof
  • poor quality pictures

Great Go Anywhere camera

Pros:
  • Easy to Use
  • Good Battery Life
  • Great Resolution
  • Great Zoom
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact

  • Lag / Shutter Delay
  • No Regular Batteries

Nikon Coolpix AW110 review: Rugged camera ready to shoot and share

If you're looking for a rugged camera, but don't want to sacrifice on-the-go sharing, the Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a good place to start. The Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a fairly minor update to 2012's AW100, as you may have figured out by the incremental model number change.
Pros:
  • The Nikon Coolpix AW110 is rated to survive being underwater down to 59 feet and drops of up to 6.6 feet along with being freezeproof and dustproof
  • has built-in GPS for geotagging among other things and Wi-Fi for easy shooting and sharing with iOS and Android devices
  • It is well priced considering its features and durability specs.
Cons:
  • While its shooting performance is good
  • the camera's spongy buttons might slow you down a bit and the camera's slow lens requires a lot of light to get the best shots.

Pros:
  • Great Resolution
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Complicated Controls
  • Limited Zoom
