Great pics in a little package

I bought this camera on release as i am a huge Nikon fan. I wanted a action camera to take scuba diving with me and GO PRO had not announced the 5 yet(still would not have bought it if they did).

Great Actioncam

From a usage perspective, I found the KeyMission 170 very comfortable to use, and once I had figured out how to get SnapBridge working, the user experience is very good. I liked using it much more than my GoPro. In a firmware update, I would like to see Nikon add the exposure control and correction.
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Compact
  • Build quality
  • Battery life
  • Screen size

Disappointing gadget from Nikon!

I bought this camera with the hope that this can exceed my GoPro 5, as this is produced by Canon. Unfortunately, the product is far below GoPro 5. The battery is quite bad as you need to charge it when it is inside the camera. Furthermore, even you don't use it, the battery will drain by itself!

Awful

This is awful junk . The remote control is just cheap rubbish and nine times out of ten doesn't work. The stand is shakey and connects badly, and the covers etc on the camera look like they'll be water proof for all of about ten minutes. The depth (10m) limit is also pathetic.

Not the usual Nikon quality

Having a couple of Nikon DSLR cameras I thought I would give their Keymission 170 a go instead of a GoPro. Extremely disappointed, not the usual quality of other Nikon products. On opening the box, immediate reaction was that the accessories were not as robust as they should be for an action camera...
