I have had this camera for about a year now and it is still going strong!! I hike with it multiple times a week and most of my hiking is off trail and includes a lot of scrambling. The camera has plenty of scratches due to tight squeezes and quite a few drops but it still takes perfect pics!!

The Nikon Coolpix AW110 was announced in January 2013 and is an update to Nikon's first all weather camera, the

Waterproof to 18m; Good picture quality; Decent macros; Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS; Auto HDR; 8 fps full resolution continuous shooting

Quite short battery life; Images are softer in the corners; Noise effects image quality at ISO 1600 upwards

This camera really impressed me. I have bought 4 camera's from Future Shop in the last 1 1/2 years. This one tips the scales. The macro photos are very clear with excellent depth of field right up to one centimeter. Regular point and shoot photos are very sharp as well.

I brought this camera on a cruise to the Caribbean and carried to every event (on land and in the water). The pictures came out beautifully- the camera is easy to use so I could set the camera to get great shots everywhere.

Easy to use; Picture Quality; Waterproof

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

Please don't take the how many stars too seriously as this is my initial review. I use two DSLR cameras with super high grade lenses from Canon and Olympus so I am picky, I will attempt to be fair and only compares apples to apples and not oranges :) Pros: - Great build feels solid yet light.
