Nikon COOLPIX AW130 Waterproof Digital Camera with Built-In Wi-Fi (Yellow)

• The build appears quite robust, about twice the weight of my Sony Cyber Shot. To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, \"Weight is a sign of reliability.\"I also like that the lens is recessed fairly deeply within a bezel, which should provide a lot of protection. I\'ve seen older Olympus models with a moving lens cover, and I\'ve seen a lot of them which are broken.... All it takes is enough brackish water or a little dirt to jamb a moving lens cover so I\'m glad Nikon chose to recess the lens instead of covering it.So far I\'ve only used it once, but I\'m quite pleased at the price. I used it on an 8 mile kayak trip with class II and III rapids in 40F water without any troubles. Considering that it was quite overcast, providing poor lighting, I was impressed with the quality of the pictures it took as well (see the attached picture). I apologize for the blurry smudges, that is user error, not product fault.... I do need to remember to blow droplets off the lens before taking pictures.After the initial setup, power on to taking pictures is less than a second. This is a major improvement over all other cameras I have owned or used in the past. This means that you can conserve your batteries and not watch that bird fly away while your camera is booting up.I had noticed that reviews on this camera and similar camera have around a 10% catastrophic failure rating due to water infiltration. Considering that when they fail like this, they seem to fail within the first month of use, it makes me think either user error or damaged gasket.Something I noticed was that there is a red mark on top of the battery door that one needs to pay attention... You can actually get the door to latch while this marking is still partially exposed! You must make sure that you press the door in hard enough while you are latching it to fully obscure this marking if you want reliable waterproofing. People not doing so may account for the majority of the aforementioned 10%.The battery life is impressive. I used this camera for half of a day, taking pictures and videos for almost the entire time, and the battery indicator still showed the battery fully charged. Considering that it was only 40F outside and it was getting splashed continuously by water that was 40F (at the most), keep in mind that low temperatures decrease battery output, I consider it impressive.Before I bought this camera, I was torn between the Nikon AW130 (this model) and the Olympus TG-860. They are both comparable as far as their specifications and I had dealt with Olympus cameras in the past. The deciding factor was that I\'d seen many reviews stating how horrible Olympus customer support tends to be while Nikon tends to be quite friendly. Normally, I buy products assuming the warranty is worthless, but when dealing with a $230 camera with a 10% failure rate I did take it into consideration.The real test will be when I take this camera on my annual trip to Lake Superior for kayaking, camping, and snorkeling... Bad weather, rough water, and free diving... I may post another review afterward.A word of caution to anyone wanting an indestructible camera... This thing may be a beast, but it has moving parts so it can fail. I\'d seen a lot of reviews where people ONLY brought ONE CAMERA and then complained that it failed during their trip. Bring two cameras, or if you are like me, bring three or four. They don\'t all have to be new, top-notch cameras either. My Sony is an older 12MP model that I bought for $1, add a sandwich bag and it is waterproof enough for kayaking and maybe an accidental dip although I wouldn\'t intentionally submerge it. It gives me a backup if I need it and is insignificant when packed in a hold on my sea kayak.
• Late last year I was searching for another underwater camera. Years ago, I started with an Olympus Tough model which I had for almost 3 years when it finally died. I had used that camera underwater during our annual cruise vacation. The third trip with the camera, while snorkeling in Aruba, I got the dreaded orange screen. That camera had served me wellI then did some research and purchased the Nikon AW100. It was really an easy decision as I\'m a Nikon DSLR user. That camera took great pictures on land as well as underwater. Though after my fiasco with the Olympus camera, my AW100 did not really see too much underwater adventures. It was great to take to the beach and also take outside during snow storms. :)In my personal experience, I\'ve come to the realization that underwater point and shoot cameras when used for snorkeling, are disposable (in my mind) and probably have a 2-3 year refresh. The seals around the openings (connections, battery, etc) will wear out after many use. Also with new models there is always better technology.I purchased the AW130 late last year with the intent on using it for our cruise around the Caribbean. I was surprised at the improvements I saw while using this camera.After going through all the camera settings, I pretty much left the camera in auto mode. As I always do with a new underwater camera, I did the camera test dunk in a tub of water to make sure the seals were fine. After many years of experience, I always check the seals to make sure there are no dust particle, lint, or hair anywhere along the rubber seal. With the battery compartment, I always make sure I hear the distinctive \"click\" sound when the door is locked.I\'ve noticed that this newer version has the capability to recharge the battery while in the camera. Now, I love technology, but keeping a connection \"door\" open while recharging does not make me feel good. I can just imagine the lint and dust that will accumulate on the seal and then having to clean it off every time after the battery is recharged. In my case, it was a good thing I had purchased the AW100 as it came with a battery recharger. Thankfully, both models use the same battery.This is a fun camera to use and very rugged. While on our adventure, I carried this camera in my snorkel bag. I used this camera in Cozumel when we went to a Cenotes and then went to the beach to snorkel with the turtles. Also used in Costa Maya while snorkeling off the beach. The pictures were amazing!One of the neat features I uncovered while using was not having to change camera modes between snorkeling underwater and then taking pictures on land. The camera automatically senses when it\'s in water and it changes to underwater mode. When I popped out of the water, the camera changed back to land use. Got to love technology!While on snorkeling trips, I always bring a bottle of tap water with me. That way I can rinse the camera off immediately and not worry about rushing back or trying to find a freshwater shower.The camera takes great pictures both on land and underwater. For underwater pictures, I have to correct the pictures by using auto adjust (add the red back in) to the picture in PSE or PS.I\'ll be back with pictures and additional information.
