Nikon’s first rugged camera, the Coolpix AW100, is great for photographers with active lifestyles. Designed to capture the action on land or in the water, it’s waterproof to depths of 10 m, shockproof for drops of 1,5 m, and freeze-proof for temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius. Featuring a built-in GPS, electronic compass and world map, it not only allows you to geo-tag your images, but also records your route (you can use the compass to check your location on the LCD monitor).

A 16 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and dedicated low light modes combine to deliver stunning results whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight, at night or under water. Its quality wide-angle Nikkor lens has a 5x optical zoom (35 mm equivalent: 28-140 mm). It shoots full HD (1080p) video with stereo sound, and features four blurreduction functions to minimise the effects of subject movement, low light and camera shake. You can create 360- and 180-degree panoramic photos by capturing a rapid burst of frames and merging them instantly into single images. Plus, there’s an underwater mode that automatically adjusts the camera’s white balance so you can capture scenes just as you see them.
