I think the most useful feature is you can bring the camera to 30m deep underwater without the hassle of high-end camera with a waterproof casing. As a casual diver, I love to bring this camera along just to take few pictures underwater

Had mine for 3 years now and it is still going,beast

Used this for our field work. It works pretty well.

I recently purchased one and found out that, ig you want to shoot in any advanced mode, you’d better read the 300-page user manual. I’ve been in photography for 6o years and have 3 other Nikon SLRs FX and DX which took no time to master. It’s damn maddening when uou get all set up for a nice cideo sequence, to have the camera stop after a 10 second clip. I also find that the flash has very limited reach. So far, I use it as a snapshot camera, despite all of the features and I phone that my phone is just as good. My wish is to “grow” in this $500 toy, if I ever find time to read the 300 pages of the advanced manual

Good camera, i used the past week for a Shark Diving without no failures 👌🏼

this camera is fantastic and has many features that none of the of the other cameras have

Hello, I recently got hands on this camera. can you please tell me where to find minature mode and fisheye mode in this ? ty

That is a good looking travel camera

I really want it to have a housing for W300 camera. Even you can bring it under for the deep down 30 Metres, But the housing can extend the life time of the camera. My previous aw130 died after 20M dive in Andaman sea. It worked well underwater but I found a little amount of water leaked into the screen after I went up to the surface. It must be better if I had a housing to use in that dive.

I don't have a ton of experience with waterproof cameras, but usually camera companies only rate their cameras a waterproof for a certain amount of time. You can probably order new gaskets for it and replace them occasionally. It's also important to clean them after each underwater adventure. Even a little bit of dust can compromise a seal.

my nikon aw 130 just died in the caribbean i am not sure what killed it ha ha ha i was shooting in the ocean 87f and the air 89 f now looking to replace it and most of the cameras come up short on either the mega pixels or no gps or wifi or some other things missing this camera has all and then some more so i will wait for the sales to come this fall and get it richard in the tropics

When is a new one being released?

I have this camera. How did you get it to work? Every time I use the timelapse function, it just says "saving" until the battery is exhausted. Then, the files are invalid.

You followed the directions on page 85 of the manual? If it's not working properly then your camera or memory card have a problem most likely.

@@ScottJWaldron thanks. Yes. It takes all the pictures & appears to work fine. When its dine, it just says saving on the screen until the battery dies. Then when I charge it, it says all the files are invalid. How long does it take to save on your camera once it finishes taking the photos? Everything else on the camera works perfectly

hello, thanks a lot for the video. I am interested in printing image bacause I am a fine art artist. do you know what is the largest size i can print with this camera? thanks again tamara

@ScottJWaldron

Printing is usually done around 300 dpi. This camera's maximum resolution is 4608 x 3456. So 4608 / 300 = 15.36 inches. That would mean 15.36 inches wide by 11.52 inches tall. However, this camera has a tiny sensor and slow lens so it's hard to say how small the photo needs to be and how much light you need in the scene for a decent looking print at fine art quality.

Do you have a link for the fujifilm video?

@ScottJWaldron

It's not a small camera, so I'm not sure how any type of head strap would work in practice. It has the usual tripod connection (1/4th-20), which I'd imagine pretty much anything to could connect to with the right adapters.

Whatever you see in this video and the unlisted samples video are the extent of what I looked at. Generally waterproof cameras have been pretty limited in image quality and features. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4B_laWLotPelNI.html

Online manual download oage: downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/354/COOLPIX_W300.html White balance is page 129. One way to adjust exposure would be "exposure compensation mentioned on page 55.

The Nikon has a 25 seconds slow shutter speed where as the Fuji only goes down to 4 seconds.

Searching for help. Nikon w300 main PCB board, failure after 40 times use, one year after bought. I recognise the problem 2 days after warranty expiration date, and last successful use was 18 days before. 2nd of April 2018 (bought) until 16th of March 2019 works perfect. At 5th of April 2019 the Greek service inspect an unexpectable failure to the main PCB. They ask half of the price to repair. No water no uses problem they said. Is this a factory failure or Nikon w300 has an expiration date? Please help.

You need to work with them, or contact some form of consumer protection agency in whatever country you live in. Going around and posting comments on random videos won't help you get something fixed.

Go buy an action camera, you won`t regret. I had this and it cracked at 12 meters down. The image quality is not great, neither the video stabilization, just marketing. On this budget you will find a GoPro that does an exemplary job!
