Features of the Nikon Coolpix AW100

View our sample images on the wex flickr page

  • Robust build: water- shock- and freeze-proof. Waterproof to depths of 10 m, shockproof from heights of up to 1.5 m and freeze-proof for temperatures down to -10°C.
  • 16 megapixel back illuminated CMOS image sensor: increases the amount of light that each pixel receives, improving sensitivity and reducing noise for superb performance in any light.
  • NIKKOR wide-angle 5x zoom lens offers outstanding precision and sharp resolution (35mm equivalent: 28-140mm).
  • Large 7.5 cm (3-in), 460K-dot LCD monitor: offers vivid color reproduction and sharp contrast. Boasts Nikon’s Clear Color Display technology that minimizes reflections, even underwater or in bright sunlight.
  • Built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) and electronic compass: records the exact location (latitude and longitude) where a picture was taken as ‘geotags’ in the image data (EXIF). You can record your route when not taking pictures or use the compass to check your location on the LCD monitor.
  • World map display*: a handy reference tool, use it to see where you took your pictures or view the routes saved in your GPS log records.
  • Anti-blur technology automatically counters blurred images in four different ways. Hybrid VR (Lens-shift and Electronic Vibration Reduction) reduces the effect of camera shake. High ISO (up to 3200) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low light. Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots.
  • Dedicated light modes: deliver superb results in any light, even without a tripod. Backlight scene mode with Auto HDR offers impressive tonal detail in any situation. Night Portrait mode delivers beautifully detailed night scenes and indoor portraits. Night Landscape mode lets you shoot sharp images at low ISO.
  • High speed continuous shooting - capture the action at a fast 9.5 fps.
  • Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound: a dedicated movie-record button makes it easy to begin shooting. Optical zoom and autofocus are available during recording, and you can capture a photo while filming. Boasts an option to film in slow or fast motion using recording speeds from 15 to 240 fps. Camera features a built-in HDMI connector with HDMI-CEC support for output to an HDTV.
  • Easy Panorama 360°/180°: lets you pan vertically or horizontally to create dynamic panoramas. Simply press the shutter and sweep the camera in front of you for stunning shots of expansive landscapes or colorful underwater worlds.
  • Action Control makes it easy to operate the camera even when underwater or wearing gloves. Activated via a dedicated button on the side of the camera.
  • Slim design: boasts compact 22.8 mm body for superior portability.
  • Underwater mode: automatically adjusts the camera’s white balance setting to capture underwater scenes just as you see them.
  • EXPEED C2 image processing system provides enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance and maximum image quality.

      So far as expected for the limited initial use I have made of it. Haven't tried the water proof capability yet though. Otherwise is a decent upgrade from my previous compact, with the additional benefits of the toughness.
      One downside there is one annoying feature, that so far I haven't found how to turn off, which is that when viewing pictures if the camera is moved, such as passing to a friend to view, the image moves on to the next. Supposed to be a useful feature, but is very annoying.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        This camera is a wonderful tool. I have yet to test it in the field but in the week or so that I have been using it I have been constantly impressed by it's perfomance. For a tool in the[$] bracket it performs well. It is certainly water proof and has all afeatures I could ask for in a camera to take a few holiday snaps in a place that is too dangerous to take my expensive SLR kit. I'm looking forward to using it on holiday and would be quite surprised if I ended up dissapointed with it's performance.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          I bought this to replace my old olympus waterproof camera, which had stated to leak. Its nice and slim, so easily fits into my bouancy aid pocket when kayaking. Screen is lovely to see, GPS is a nice funtion, allowing you to see your route when you have finished. Controls are fine, and easy mode works OK choosing the right modes.

          I bought this super digital camera to replace an otherwise excellent Canon S95, which did not survive a tiny amouht of spilled liquid.
          I am delighted with the quality and build and the superb photographs, and look forward using it on a very active outdoor visit to New Zealand in March, involving hiking and underwater swimming with dophins

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
