AW100 Summary

Boasting GPS, shockproof, waterproof, and freezeproof capabilities, and a trend-setting appearance, the Nikon AW100 doesn't quite rise to the challenge of creating crisp images worthy of its 16-megapixel sensor.

Pros

Nice design; Good shutter button; High resolution; Good shot-to-shot time; Includes GPS maps.

Cons

Buttons are hard to press; Corners are soft; Flash overwhelms close up; Frustrating controls; Worse than average print quality.

Price and availability

The Nikon Coolpix AW100 shipped in the US market from early-September 2011 in black, blue, and orange versions. Original list pricing was set at approximately US$380, but has since dropped to US$350.
