  • The AW100's slow lens requires more use of high ISO settings or slow shutter speeds. Its controls feel spongy and occasionally unresponsive due to the waterproofing and the body's somewhat slippery
  • Pricey
  • Poor battery life
  • Noise at ISO 400
  • So-so low-light performance
  • Limited zoom range
  • Focus issues while recording video
  • Expensive
  • Power usage (particularly with GPS switched on)
  • Image Noise

  • 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...

  • Toma fotografías de 16 megapixeles y graba videos en Full HD
  • A pesar de ser un equipo todo terreno y muy resistente es un aparato electrónico que requieres de ciertos cuidados; por ejemplo, no debes de sentarte en ella
  • Excelente opción si eres un fanático de las aventuras y quieres fotografiarlo todo. Esta cámara es a prueba de agua, de golpes y de temperaturas bajo cero....

  Published: 2012-04-12, review by: 01net.com

  • Capteur inversé théoriquement bon dans les basses lumières,  Bonne amplitude de zoom pour un tel appareil,  Nombreuses fonctions (GPS, boussole…),  Rapport équipement/prix
  •  Autonomie annoncée (seulement 250 photos)
  • L'AW100 est un départ correct de Nikon dans le segment des compacts renforcés. Correct parce que l'appareil fait des photos propres, est assez réactif et respecte le cahier des charges côté résistance. Nul doute que Nikon vendra ce petit appareil sur son...

  • Résistant à l'immersion (10 m), aux chutes (1,5 m) et au froid (-10°C), Bonne réactivité (autofocus, démarrage), Simplicité d'utilisation, GPS plus réactif que sur la plupart des APN, en zone dégagée du moins
  • Qualité d'image moyenne, en particulier passés 800 ISO, Prise de son médiocre, Vidéos sous-exposées en intérieur
  • Le Nikon AW100 est un petit compact étanche qui accompagnera des nageurs ou des randonneurs. Mais la qualité optique et la gestion de la sensibilité font largement préférer d'autres modèles (FT3 par exemple). ...

  • Abstract:  Le fotocamere classificate come all-weather possono operare in tutte le condizioni ambientali, anche in quelle estreme: sono modelli impermeabili, quasi sempre subacquei, in grado di sopportare basse temperature, sabbia o polvere e perfino urti e cadute. ...
