Review on πŸ“· Nikon W300 Waterproof Underwater Digital Camera with TFT LCD, 3-inch, Yellow (Model 26525) by Richard Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small, rugged, waterproof camera that captures amazing photos and videos

We needed a camera that was easy to use and could withstand a fall.. .in the ground, in water, mud, etc. This camera is waterproof to 100 feet (30 meters) and shockproof from above. 8 feet. I've tested it underwater, shot in tide pools and shot in a turbulent river. I'm impressed with the video quality, both in the water and on land. It records in 4k and the video looks amazing but the photos look amazing too. Scene modes: Portrait, Beach, Close-up, Action, Room, Sunset, Dusk/Dusk, Nightscape and more. These modes automatically adjust the camera settings for you, making it easy for a beginner like me. I played with different modes to see how they affect the image. You can really see the difference when photographing a sunset or a sunrise. Different modes affect the colors of the image. It takes a little longer to select the mode you want to use to capture, which can be an issue when you need to snap a quick photo. If it's too bright or too dark for my shot, the brightness can be easily adjusted before shooting. There is a button on the camera to increase or decrease the image brightness. This will show the change on screen before you take the picture. (This option is not available when recording videos. ) There is also a button on the side of the camera to turn on the front light while recording. It's different from the flash and stays on until you turn it off by pressing the button again. However, this only helps with close-ups. The light is not projected very far from the camera. (This option is available for videos.) Nikon Coolpix W300 has a maximum photo resolution of 4608 x 3456; large enough to crop and edit photos if necessary. I've been using it for about four months now and have taken some great videos and photos with this camera. Both photos in this test were taken with the Nikon Coolpix W300.
