2017, May 31

The Nikon Coolpix W300 is a rugged, weatherproof compact digital camera designed for extreme outdoor conditions, featuring 4K Ultra HD video recording and enhanced durability, including a waterproof rating of up to 100 feet (30m). It also includes built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS for tracking and sharing adventures.

Reviews and Performance

Image and Video Quality: The camera produces vibrant still images in bright light, and the addition of 4K video recording is a major upgrade over its predecessors. Reviewers noted that while image quality is good for its class, fine details can be lost due to noise reduction at higher ISO settings.

Durability and Handling: The W300 is highly praised for its robust build and enhanced durability ratings, particularly the 100ft waterproof depth, which is greater than many competitors. It features an improved grip and button placement for easier handling, even with gloves.

Connectivity and Features: The SnapBridge app uses Bluetooth Low Energy for automatic image transfers to smart devices, which is convenient for sharing on the go. The comprehensive outdoor features, including the altimeter, depth gauge, and GPS, make it a strong choice for adventurers who want to log their activities.
