Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • The screen fogged and I thought I'd ruined it. But after letting it dry it's been fine.
  • The screen looks bright and clear, you can see well in the water, a suitable size.
  • Cool diving camera with a crystal-clear screen that allows you to view everything under water.
  • It was a little difficult to see the screen when in the sun and water.
  • The screen is too small so you cannot see what on it, and you cannot take pictures from 3’-4’ and needs to be closer.

What customers say about "Protection"
Nikon COOLPIX W150 Waterproof Camera
  • The waterproofing seems fine to me.
  • The underwater images work without problems.
  • The photos are beautiful, the camera is perfectly waterproof.
  • The waterproof function is great for kids.
  • The front lens has no protection so be careful where you put it.
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • This is a good camera. Good picture quality and the waterproofing works well.
  • The camera is waterproof and doesn't cost too much, the quality of the pictures is ok.
  • So durable! When they say waterproof and shockproof they are not kidding. Simple to use.
  • This camera is NOT waterproof. Well, maybe if you drop it in a puddle. I took it snorkeling and within the first 20 minutes, it clouded up, got condensation, and was essentially useless.
  • If you want a cheap waterproof camera that's better than a disposable, this is ok but if you have a few more $$ to spend, you might consider more advanced models.

What customers say about "Power"
Nikon COOLPIX W150 Waterproof Camera
  • Battery life has been good, and all in all we've been delighted with the quality of our memories.
  • The battery life is excellent all day long.
  • Great camera with good battery life.
  • The battery is small so life is far from amazing.
  • Unfortunately, the battery drains faster underwater.
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • Holds a good charge on the rechargeable battery that comes with it along with a wall charger and cable.
  • The battery is unbelievable! I used it on vacation in Canada for 10 days, took 100's of pictures and still have not had to recharge it.
  • This version seems to have more battery life/power storage then previous.
  • One of this camera's very few negatives is that with the included charger cable, you must keep the battery in the camera and plug in the entire camera to charge it.
  • Battery life is SHORT - when it dies, everything resets, including the date.
