Rugged, waterproof and well-equipped, but at a price
Plenty tough, just mind the night time noise
The Nikon Coolpix AW120 isn’t for everyone. It’s for holidaymakers looking for an easy-to-use tough camera that will accompany them into the pool or ocean.
'Your choices are pretty typical -- Portrait, Sports, Night Portrait, Landscape, Panorama Assist, Night Landscape, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Fireworks, Backlight, Close Up, Museum, and Copy.'
'Shot-to-shot speeds were average, with a delay of a little over
two seconds before you can take another picture.'
'a few features (the headline change being the introduction of optical image stabilization)'
'even if you never use the Wi-Fi functionality, this is one of very best 8-megapixel compacts available.'
'it comes with a little something extra - wireless technology'
'In principle that method is great, but I tried it with two different shipping versions of the Coolpix P1, four different computers, and two separate network routers--and never managed to get a successful connection.'
'it has a poor continuous-shooting rate of 0.7 to 1.4 frames per second'
