Efficient and Light

It is efficient, simple and good looking camera while light enough to be with you all the time. The GPS feature is not so convenient and you must buy and load the maps by yourself. The bottoms are a bit user-enemy! but compared to other capabilities, not remarkable. I recommend it to adventurous photographer though I still didnt use it under the water.

Blue surprise

A gift for the wife. She didn't like the orange one. This is a rugged unit with a fairly quick shutter. The aw110 shutter is slightly faster. For the price this is a better price for the wife. Operating unit is easy. The strap around the neck is very useful since it leaves her hand free.

Jury's still out

I know this camera can't compete with my bridge camera but I was hoping it would be adequate for kayaking trips. I haven't been able to take it kayaking yet so the jury is still out in that regard. I have used it several times, though, so I can give a limited review - here goes: - the menu is intuitive and the camera has a lot of nice features - I set the megapixels to 12 and the pictures are okay, not great. I'll have to try it at the max - 16MP - to see if there's any difference in quality - the 5x zoom is about what I expected and you have to keep the telephoto pushed down to get the extended zoom (very slow to extend fully) - since I'm used to a larger camera, I find it awkward to hold; I'm also used to a viewfinder so I'm having to get used to looking at the screen. The screen resolution is not too bad in daylight but it is a little bit hard to see what you're shooting. - the thing I dislike about the camera is the charger - it's ridiculous! - a long cord attaches to the charger. The charger for my bridge camera has the plug as part of the charger and plugs directly into a wall socket. I do like the Li-ion battery, though. - I would like to say that I really like dealing with Adorama. Their customer service is great. They go above and beyond to make the customer happy. - Right now I can't say that I love the camera but am hoping I will get used to it and start getting better pictures.

Surprisingly good

I am very pleased with the quality of my outdoor photos, particularly of colorful flowering plants. I did a side-by-side comparison with my Nikon 9100, and the AW100 was noticeably better. Surprise, surprise. But indoors, I did not get the same clarity, even the focus seemed a bit fuzzy.

fun to use, I am very happy I bought it

set it up on a tripod to shoot a vidio of an event then I shoot shots with my slr at the same time what I like to do then is use the audio track to record what it is or was dooing sounds of the water the birds or the concert are now mine . the camers it sturdy and light weight,you need to get use to no view finder though in close macro it is hard to see your shot . I am very happy with the camera use it all the time.. I like to slice out a good still shot from the vido at 35 frames / second and full 1080 hp. adds a whole new world of getting the right shot . even under water the it works well in day light .the flash is poor . never use it makes thing off color and much darker,
