Nikon digital camera COOLPIX W100 (Pink)(Japan Import-No Warranty)

I should not say this because it just means fewer for me to buy, but my advice is, if you can afford it, and if you are being victimized by criminals using EMFs that destroy electronic equipment and deplete batteries:BUY EVERY ONE OF THESE YOU CAN FINDThis is a very fine camera and very rugged, it can withstand dropping and falling and being handled carelessly and be okay. Of course it is an old obsolete photography format but we are now in the age where criminals can find your camera and anything electronic by its signature, and knock it off-line or deplete your batteries easily. And the victims usually don’t have access to advanced paramilitary technology and cameras that can withstand this, so it’s hopeless. This camera will record them stalking on video and it has a 28 minute video length so if you can run to the store and back in 28 minutes you can leave it on in your house looking at the door! Just be sure it’s always on airplane mode. In addition to these assets this camera also has a fine autofocus so you can photograph your rock or jewelry collection using a camera stand and achieve high quality professional images that would grace any publication. This is a feature that is no longer easy to find. If you are limited to finding electronic equipment that works under siege by EMFs, I recommend this smart, blue Nikon camera. Just buy a lot of batteries and shield it in a Faraday box.

I love this camera!! It is definitely waterproof! I take it out on the Chesapeake Bay with me on my raft and it has fallen in the water a couple of times and still takes great pictures! I bought one of those floating straps for it and it keeps it floating, perfectly!! I love the fact that this camera links up to my iphone. (It will also work with an Android) I downloaded the Snapbridge App and they sync up all the time. I will come in off the beach and lay it somewhere and the next thing I know my phone will alert me that it has just downloaded 25 or more pics, all on its own! I don't have to do a thing and they are ready for me to post to facebook or whatever I want!! This camera is super easy to use!! I highly recommend it!

This is a good camera. Good picture quality and the waterproofing works well.However, don't count on the SnapBridge App to work. I have spent many hours fiddling with it and occasionally it works for a bit but then it gets stupid and can't connect to the camera. I've given up on trying to use the app. I would expect more from Nikon but it's obvious that all of this new high tech stuff is a mystery to them. They make good cameras but don't understand tech.

I took this camera snorkeling and it performed very well. The only issue I had was accidentally pushing the video recording button while swimming. I would recommend buying spare batteries, because the one doesn't last all day.

Bought this waterproof camera because it had the capability to upload photos to my iPhone via SnapBridge app. Bought it back in Sept. Fiddled with it to learn how to use it. Uploaded photos for the first time and worked fine. Went back to it a day later to take more pics to upload and it wouldn't work. Kept saying wifi connection not working, phone is not paired with Nikon camera. So I had to do it over again and pair the camera to the phone. Long story short, this happened more times than not. Got it working in Nov and put it on the shelf until now. Using it for a vacation to snorkel. doesn't work. Same thing happened. Tried it 5 times. Went through all troubleshooting. Amazon wont return it because I bought 8 months ago. I called Nikon, and they said "yeah, we've been having problem with that, what iOS do you have". I have12.3, " yeah we haven't caught up with that" Can you return it. "No"Not good customer service. They couldn't even troubleshoot because I was doing it correctly.

I bought this camera for my six-year-old granddaughter. Although it is far from being a toy, the onscreen graphics and fun features will appeal to younger folks. It is literally point and shoot: turn it on, take the photo. There are no manual controls in the DSLR sense, but it does have minimal exposure controls and even a built-in two-stop neutral density filter, although the manual does not explain how this works. The flash can be set to off, on, and automatic. You can add stars and crowns and bubble effects and lots more to photos, and it has lots of image effects.The size and shape of this camera are well suited to small hands, not so much to my hands, and my middle-aged-man hands are not that big. But I could get used to handling this camera. If you're used to holding a heftier camera body, you'll have to work to hold this one steady, it's so lightweight.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. You can't charge a battery and shoot using a second battery. An optional Nikon wall charger is available to charge the proprietary battery outside the camera.I spent around two hundred bucks for the camera, a spare battery, a standalone charger, a memory card (it does not come with one and has only a small amount of internal memory), and a case. The menus are basic and easy to use while providing enough features to interest a young person or very casual photographer, the shockproofing will protect against young hands' clumsiness, and the weather-resistant qualities are a plus for outdoor use. I found that setting up the Nikon SnapBridge app for cellphone connectivity (storage) and the Nikon Image Space app (for online storage) to be rather tedious, but once I did, with the camera paired to the phone, it quickly uploaded images first to the camera and then to the web. So this is a handy camera for folks without a computer to use for storage or uploading.But here is what is really great about this camera: it has superb image quality for its class. In good light, the pictures are very sharp and clean, with true colors, little noise, and great detail. The flash illuminates pretty evenly and provides enough light for sharp indoor photos. The flash was pleasing even when aimed straight at people's faces at fairly close range, and flesh tones were true. Thirteen megapixels will theoretically let you print an 11x14 photo, but I've seen compact cameras that cost much more than this whose image quality would not allow that. Although most users of this camera will not be printing that large, if at all, I think that under decent conditions, this camera would allow for an 11x14 print.What a great camera for the price. If my granddaughter, who took to it instantly, takes care of this camera, it will "grow" with her quite well. At a price near the bottom of the entry-level heap for digital cameras of any kind, this camera is a super value, all the more so because of the well-established Nikon Coolpix brand.
