Customers like the image quality of the digital camera. They say it takes great pictures both on the beach and underwater. The underwater pictures are stunning, and the zoomed pictures are just like their $2,000 Nikon SLR. The pictures seem brighter, and are quick to take. The camera does the job well, and is nice taking pictures under heavy rains. The 16MP is nice to crop pictures, and blow up small fish. Some of the photos are hilarious, and this is a fantastic underwater camera.

After searching online I had it narrowed down to either purchasing a Nikon Coolpix AW120 or a Canon Powershot D30 camera (they do also make lower models of both, AW110 and D20). The two cameras were within $40 of each other with the Nikon being cheaper so price was a consideration but not a huge deal. I've owned both brands of cameras in the past and have always been satisfied with the quality of the pictures. The Nikon is a 16.1MP camera while the Canon is a 12.1MP camera. Both cameras could handle 1080P video so that was a wash. Both were waterproof which was perfect since we would be working next to the water. The Canon goes down to 82 feet while the Nikon goes to 66 feet. I only needed them to be waterproof down to about 20 feet so both would have been fine. Both units offer built in GPS which was another feature I was looking for in a camera. I wanted to be able to figure out which of our sites we were at afterwards since some of the site photos look very similar.
The Nikon unit offer a built in WiFi feature that wasn't listed on the Canon. It allows for WiFi transfer of photos and control of the camera. So, based on the lower price, the higher MP rating, and the WiFi feature, I opted to purchase the Nikon camera.
I haven't used the WiFi feature yet so I can't comment on that. The camera was able to sync the date/time from satellite and the GPS works great. The camera has been dropped on the ground, fallen off a truck, and been splashed with water without any damage to the camera. The photos have turned out beautifully and I'm able to zoom in to clearly read part numbers on our equipment. I'm very satisfied with the camera and I'm considering buying another one to use for family trips since it can clearly take a beating and still work great.
Capacity is not a problem. I had a 64GB micro SD card and filmed video every time out (10 times) and only obtained about 32GB of film. That was about 10-15H of video.
I didn't find the charging with the door open a problem with this camera.
I am trying to think of something negative to point out about it and I cannot think of anything.
The buttons are so easy to use/access while in the water and if you want a pic instead of a video you just depress the top button instead of the record button, there is not mode switch. The only minor negative and it was more operator error is that I would go to turn off the video and due to a fraction of a second delay with the light going out I would actually not turn it off and film stuff with the camera flopping around behind me. The worse problem this can create however is if you see something amazing and go to turn the camera on when you are actually turning it off from mistakenly not turning it off previously. So you might miss something that you thought you filmed. You just got to be careful and it's not the end of the world unless you wanted to document you getting eaten by a shark.
