Nikon Coolpix AW100 is rough and ready

Nikon injecting some rough and tumble spirit into its Coolpix range with its first adventurer-cam, the Coolpix AW100. Available in not just camouflage but orange and black too, the AW100 rocks some serious scramble-proof tech. The compact is shockproof to heights of 1.5m, freezeproof down to temperatures of -10℃ and waterproof to 10m – so you can take underwater shots when you’re snorkelling or snap away on the slopes when you’re skiing.

Built-in GPS, electronic compass and world map means the all-weather compact shouldn’t let you down when you’re out in the wild. Image-wise, there’s a 16MP sensor on board, with a panorama mode for 180 and 360 degree photos and it also shoots Full HD 1080p movies. On sale on 8 September, the AW100 will cost £330. Nikon – one, great outdoors – nil.
