Consider the Nikon AW100 if you're an outdoors type that can make use of the camera's rugged design. It's waterproof and shockproof, yet it doesn't really compromise when it comes to usability. It's picture quality is also clear and vibrant for the most p...
Action control is useful. GPS updates with zero fuss. Great-quality HD video for a camera in this class
Very limited exposure control. Image detail falters at mid- to high-ISO levels
Even though the AW100 is Nikon's first attempt at a rugged compact camera, it doesn't show. The AW100 is easy to use, and has a range of features well suited to action adventurers and everyday photographers....

The sensible zoom range means that images are sharp at both focal length extremes. Exposure is consistently accurate. The GPS works well. Movie mode is outstanding and the 120 page instruction manual is clear and comprehensive.

If you are looking for rough & tough camera where you can take fast snapshot, video recording & shooting with HD resolution quality, Nikon Coolpix AW100 will be good one which has cost only 16,950 INR. However, it has robust in design, still looks simple ...
The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is available in India at a street price of Rs.15,000. The camera has some really amazing features and looks pretty stylish as well, especially for a rugged camera. It is quite slim, too, as far as compact cameras, in general, ar...
The Nikon Coolpix AW100 marries rugged good looks with good image quality. As with most rugged cameras, you have to work within trade-offs, the stronger zoom toggle offers less finesse than a standard compact camera's zoom nub, but it's sturdier. There ar...
