Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Digital Camera (Orange)

So I got stationed in Kwajalein Atoll in the pacific with prime Scuba/Snorkling/sailing realestate. I at first bought a cheap-O 8MP and hated every minute of it. I fineley got recomended this camera form a friend. Fineley I broke down and decided that since I can't afford a $8000.00 Camera like some rich jerks lol:P Just kidding. I decided to go with this Nikon Coolpix. It is my first high priced digital camera. I have always used Film. This thing is great. I took many great pictures and have gotten them to look almost as good as all the people with the $8000.00 cameras.

Of course I say almost. Its compact size makes it extremely easy to carry and snorkle with. The big screen on back makes navigating the menu easy while under water. The quick selection buttons make swithing to Macro or Video underwater an easy task. I took it right out of the box, charged the battery for 30Min and was off snorkling and it lasted an hour and a half without dying on me.

I got some good macro shots of a clown fish and many other fishies. The menus are easy to go through. I didn't need the manual at all. For the price, portability and ability to set manual settings makes this totaly worth the investment. The built GPS and compas is good too. If my boat stahls or I get lost at see, I could even use the compas or GPS since it actually works, not that I would every actaully use it for that but hey, its nice to know you could.

So to conclude. Its great, easy to clean, operate and can be used in the water, out at night or durring the day. Unlike High end, $8000.00 camera set ups which are bulky and costly, this does everything. This combined with Lightroom and photoshop for editing, almost all of the pictures come out great.

Cheers.

These are very dependable cameras. We are part of a family that has a real passion for pictures, and of course that is still the best way to preserve those memories.I like the fact that you can leave out in the morning taking snap-shots and delete all your mistakes before you say your prayers.What a great camera for all those beach parties and mid-night swims.The price was such that I had to have two,because the only way for a photographer to get in the picture is to find another camera bug.

This was purchased so that my wife would stop borrowing my camera and not returning it. She loves it and would give it 5 stars. I however was disappointed with color mode and some of the other modes like portrait. There other cameras that do a better job for this price that are not waterproof, so if you don't need the waterproof feature get something else.
