Jaw-dropping Photos and Videos16-MP Backside Illuminated CMOS Sensor. Share epic photos and videos that put your friends and family in the moment. The COOLPIX W300's 16 MP low-light sensor and fast f/2.8 NIKKOR zoom lens freeze action in striking detail, even when the light is fading. It's fast autofocus and continuous shooting speed helps you land shots others might miss. Turn on Macro Mode and reveal hidden details in flowers, plants, insects and more. |
Zoom into the Action5x Optical Zoom NIKKOR Lens with Hybrid VR. When the action is just out of reach, zoom in with the telephoto power of the COOLPIX W300's 5x optical zoom lens. You'll have the flexibility to get the whole scene into the frame or to zoom in for a tight view. The whole time you're shooting, Nikon's Hybrid VR (Vibration Reduction) keeps your photos and videos steady, even when the road gets bumpy. |

Combine your favorite clips into a 30-second compilation with background music and special effects using Short Movie Show—ideal for sharing online. Use Time-lapse recording to condense an hour of action into a 10-second sequence, or speed up time with a Superlapse video. You can even shoot stills while recording video. The camera also features VR during movie recording (5-axis hybrid: lens-shift type and electronic type) and AE lock is now available when shooting underwater video. *Not all video features are available when recording in 4K UHD, please refer to the owner’s manual for details. |

Can't Go Wrong with Quality
Looking for a waterproof camera and decided to try a knock-off GoPro (latest Dragon brand) since I wasn’t interested in the overhyped, and overpriced tiny models. As expected, I was severely disappointed and returned. I only had two true choices for the task of a compact, self-contained unit, the TG-5 or W300.The Nikon COOLPIX W300 is simple to configure and operate. If you want point and click, then this is easily done with good results. You also have some manual control of settings and may want to view the on-line manual to see if it can do what you want. It’s small enough for a daily carry camera or if you don’t want to lug around an SLR. Based on specifications, features, reviews and research I believe I made the better choice for my needs. I mainly got it for 4K videos and does an impressive job at that; looks great on the 4K big screen while streaming from my NAS. Don’t cheat yourself and opt for the highest settings on video or pictures since storage is cheap. I used a 128GB V30 SDXC card that never missed a beat. You’ll get about 45 minutes worth of video at that resolution so you may want to get additional batteries based on your usage. I see approximately 32GB per hour of footage.I tested the camera at home under water and didn’t see any issues with leaking. I’ve taken it on trips to pools, beaches and snorkeling with no leaking. Make sure you read the warnings on sealing the camera before water use and you shouldn’t have problems. The TG-5 has two compartments to seal and potentially leak where the W300 has one. For some reason I had an issue with temporary fogging on the LCD screen when parasailing which cleared up after landing. Contacted Nikon support and told to send in for repair but ended up exchanging for a new unit since I was still under my return window.Those “action” cameras are too tiny to handle and not worth the trouble. The size of this camera is a good compromise and comfortably attaches to my mountain bike with a standard mount although the novelty of watching bumpy rides wears off quickly. It’s not that the image stabilization is an issue, just that being there is much better than watching it on any screen which can be nauseating to some.Here are some early unaltered samples from this camera.- - -Had to decrease video resolution from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 since amazon upload was destroying the quality.- - -Either the new uploaded video didn't replace the original or the quality of amazon's re-encoding is still killing the actual video quality.

This waterproof P&S conceals a host of really interesting features. Like its little brother the W100, its a rugged camera that defies water [just follow the instructions, and don't take the toaster into the tub, OK?]
• I can pull serious b&w images by desaturating the color menu, adjust exposures via the +/- thumb wheel. For the tech-weenies out there the RGB pixel pile in photoshop showed all heaps as exactly the same.
• Color can be as lush or modulated as you want, like when shooting people under tree canopies and that green is doing things to their faces etc.
• Native image size is 14x11 at 300dpi. The Bluetooth upload to your camera is a half-size jpg ready for IG, FB or whatever web destination.
DISLIKES:
• Zoom tends to interpolate pixels. Stick w native wide angle.
• The SnapBridge software is a bit clumsy on install, don't rush it. Directions are cryptic. It took me several tries.
• Camera only came with a neck strap. This is the only time I've ever used a wrist-strap, and I found mine attached to a junk camera in a thrift shop for $3.
MEH: The usual clutter of post-effects. I ignore them. If I want a glaze, I'll get a donut. Facial recognition? didn't use it.
the Nikon P&S that punches way above its weight

It takes good pics & videos but it keeps fogging all the time ..it fogs underwater, it fogs in sunlight, it fogs everywhere within a short time of use...unless there is fix for this fogging( condensation on the lens & sometimes on the screen too) there is no point in buying this cam..2 stars only for the few pics it takes before fogging u..otherwise zero stars....
Highly disappointed...hope nikkon has a fix for this problem at the earliest
Anyone know how to stop this fogging issues in the lens & screen, kindly let me know
Thanks
