Nikon Coolpix AW110 Review
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 quite similar
to its predecessor, retaining its design, sensor, and lens. So what's new? The
AW110 is more rugged, sports a sharper OLED display, and supports Wi-Fi for
easy photo sharing.
Specification
Highlights
- 16.0 effective megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor
- F3.9-F4.8, 28-140mm equivalent zoom lens (5X)

The
first thing which customer is impressed is the fashion and impressed
appearance. With continuing developing super durable series, Nikon
asserted their position in camera product market.
As
mentioned above, the Coolpix AW110 uses the same 16 megapixel,
back-illuminated CMOS sensor as the AW100. BSI sensors, as they are
known, promise higher sensitivity than traditional CCD and CMOS
designs, by allowing more light to hit the photosites. Unfortunately,
the AW110's lens doesn't help with high sensitivity / low light
shooting, as it has a maximum aperture of F3.9-4.8, which means that
it's not letting in as much light as a camera with a 'faster' lens.
The
Coolpix AW110 has features that go above and beyond its ability to go
underwater and take some knocks. Read on to find out more about them.
