Nikon Coolpix AW110 review

 

Nikon's latest update to its go-anywhere compact keeps its rugged rivals at arm's length. Encased in an almost full metal jacket, the AW110 feels more hard-wearing than its slightly more plasticky Panasonic FT5 and Olympus TG-2 opponents.

As rugged as Burt Reynolds, Glove mode keeps your fingers toasty, Detailed pictures

Weak zoom, Lacks standard micro-USB connection

Nikon Coolpix AW110

 

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 AW110 is a bit slow to start and shoot, requiring 2.4 seconds on average, but it’s quite responsive once it’s powered up. The shutter lag is just 0.05-second, so there’s virtually no delay between button press and photo capture. The AW110 can grab...

Nikon's rugged Coolpix AW110 ready to shoot and share

 

If you're looking for a rugged camera, but don't want sacrifice on-the-go sharing, the AW110 is a good place to start.

The ; 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....

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.

Nikon Coolpix AW110 ( Orange)

 

There are only a couple differences between the two: increased durability and Wi-Fi. The AW100, was protected down to 33 feet, could survive 5-foot drops, and could continue operating down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. The AW110 remains freezeproof to the...

Nikon Coolpix AW110

 

Nikon is a relatively new entrant into the world of underwater/rugged cameras much like its arch rival, Canon. Its original model, the AW100, was announced in Fall of 2011, and then replaced in January 2013 by the Coolpix AW110. The Coolpix AW110 is...
