   I purchased this product for when I travel…. Its small and durable (but haven’t dared to drop it yet.) This is my first Nikon camera because normally I am a Canon guy. The features of this camera are amazing for such a small camera… Being able to download the pictures with the built in WiFi connection is a great feature for when you only have your camera and your phone or tablet. Also having the built in GPS receiver is great to have for when you travel…The picture quality is also amazing.I tested the waterproof feature while at the beach this weekend and it works just as well afterwards… (after being on the beach and in the salt water make sure you wash it with tap water to remove any of the film that the saltwater can cause.) I took a few underwater pictures in the pool that came out as clear as it was above water.Also as a reminder *** use the built in WiFi if you want to copy the pictures off the camera after being in the water because you need to make sure the camera is dried completely before opening the water tight battery and card reader compartment… for those people that said after they used it underwater for the first time I can see how water can drip inside of this compartment if you aren’t careful. The outside shell of the camera is what makes this camera waterproof… the components inside the camera arent.***

   I bought this camera because I needed a camera I could take underwater for vacation, use in the snow for snowboarding, and throw around in the cockpit when I’m flying. Needless to say, this camera met and exceeded my expectations in performance. When I bought it, I expected some sort of picture-quality tradeoff for all the features this camera has. It didn’t. The camera still delivers high-definition photos and videos. 1080p. Sound quality on the videos can suck if the source is farther away (such as at a live concert). If you’re recording someone talking, you won’t have a problem with it.I took this camera snorkeling, into the pool, and scuba diving down to 25 feet, and it’s still kicking strong. I was worried at one point when there appeared to be a hazy film of moisture in the screen after leaving it in the pool for about an hour, but placing it in a sunny spot on some towels remedied that problem.Its auto mode is great for new camera users, but if you’re a more advanced user, you can select different modes for different situations (there is a mode for every situation thinkable…from low-light outdoor landscape shots, to food shots, to pet shots).It also features a GPS system, which logs the exact coordinates (and compass direction you were facing!) of *almost* every photo you shoot (depends on GPS uplink connection). I thought that was pretty cool, because I travel a lot and think it’s pretty interesting to be able to pull up a map of every location I’ve snapped a photo.I bought the 110 model, which features a wifi app that allows you to wirelessly link this thing to devices that do not have a SD card slot (e.g. Apple products). You’ll have to install an app, but it’s worth it. This app allows me to wirelessly transfer photos from my camera, take photos using my iPhone as a remote, and view albums from my phone.A feature I have yet to use is the I-have-fat-fingers/I-am-wearing-snowgloves button on the side of the camera. By depressing this button, you can flip through different commands such as “take photos,” “view photos,” “change mode,” etc. by simply shaking the camera. I expect to use this button a lot when I take my camera snowboarding this year. It has the qualities a Go-Pro, but with more options.Bottom line: If you’re a world traveler, and are expecting to do a lot of diverse things on your trips, from the skies to the oceans, or from the slopes to the backpacking trails, this camera is for you.
