I Find AW130 To Be a Good Product

I've had this AW130 for nearly 4 years, and it has been a good camera. Took it snorkeling and shallow diving in Jamaica and got some beautiful underwater photos and videos. No problems leaking and no issues of black screen that others have reported. In fact, on land pictures are also great. I have noticed the issue with the flash not being synched all that great in auto flash and focus. I will say that the buttons are too tiny, and agree with other reviewers on that, as well as that the menu can be a little intimidating/non-intuitive. The small buttons are particularly frustrating taking photos and vids underwater. If you spend 45 minutes with the camera stepping through the menu and using the manual as you go along, anyone with a brain should be able to get the hang of it all. But for the rest of the negative reviews and comments on build quality, blurriness, etc., I just haven't had any issues. The camera has been solid for me. No breaking doors or battery latch, door seals are still in great shape showing no wear... and like I said, it hasn't leaked. Maybe I'm just a little more careful with the product and I read and learn the product use and features before I slam it in a review. LOL

I've had this camera for 5 years now and just replaced the battery. This camera has been rock solid and i have snorkelled with it many times. No issues at all. I have taken 1000's of photos and videos with it. Over and under water. It is my go to camera on Mexico trips and my overnight kayak, river trips.

Last Nikon paperwieght I purcahse

Within 6 months of purchase, it has failed 3 times.. twice to a point where it has to go back for warranty repair. I am currently aboard on a trip where I planned to use and Nikon won't support a repair even though they have repair centres all over the region. The one drive trip it did (partially) work on the underwater pictures were wildly inferior. Out of the water it's just OK but a waste of money if you're above sea level. Way better off to purchase a Canon with the underwater housing if you want really good quality underwater shots. Don't waste your time or money if you really need a decent waterproof camera.

I've had this camera for 5 years now and just replaced the battery. This camera has been rock solid and i have snorkelled with it many times. No issues at all. I have taken 1000's of photos and videos with it. Over and under water. It is my go to camera on Mexico trips and my overnight kayak, river trips.

F. Even take it biking, climbing, skating or hiking-it can withstand drops from as high as 7 feet. Always bring home amazing views.

The COOLPIX AW130 is the ultimate travel companion!

5x optical zoom NIKKOR ED wide-angle glass lens
When you're underwater or atop a mountain, you want to capture the amazing view-all of it. The COOLPIX AW130's wide-angle (24mm f2.8 equivalent), 5x optical zoom NIKKOR glass lens provides a wide field of view that's great for those moments. Vibration Reduction (VR) offsets camera shake to keep your photos sharper and your videos steadier-crucial for an action camera. And if 5x optical zoom isn't enough reach, there's Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom function that effectively doubles your reach to 10x zoom.

Mind-blowing videos
With the press of a button, the COOLPIX AW130 becomes a high-performance video camera. 5-axis Hybrid Vibration Reduction (VR) helps you shoot stable, smooth videos without a tripod and a built-in stereo mic captures high-fidelity sound. Shoot stills while you're recording video, combine short clips into a 30-second montage, even create amazing time-lapse movies right in the camera.

Keep it steady
There's nothing worse than a shaky handheld video. As soon as you start recording with COOLPIX AW130, Hybrid VR (Vibration Reduction) activates and combats camera shake for sharper steadier home movies.

Enjoy the view
The COOLPIX AW130's large, Wide Viewing Angle OLED display makes it easy to compose your shots or monitor your video recording. Reviewing and sharing your creations is a pleasure, too-every shot looks fantastic on the display.

Wrapped up in the action with no time to change settings? The COOLPIX AW130 automatically adjusts camera settings. And if you're looking to add creativity, select in-camera effects such as black and white or selective color. There's even an underwater mode to keep images colorful and properly exposed.
