Wi-Fi pairing doesn't work and Nikon can't help

We previously had a Nikon waterproof camera that worked great until after quite a lot of use and 20 months it was no longer waterproof. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Nikon reps flashed us their noses, so I should have known not to buy another Nikon product. However, I bought a W300 for my wife's birthday. It seems that almost the same camera as ours, but with some upgrades. However, the UC-E21 USB cable, required for wired transfer of images from the camera to a computer, was not…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Weight

Very disappointed in this camera

Got these to replace an old Nikon compact camera that I loved but eventually died. I've been using it for 6 months and I have to say I HATE THIS CAMERA. Nikon has removed most of the user control over picture settings, and the camera does all the thinking for you. Unfortunately, that's not very smart. It doesn't expose many frames properly, colors tend to be bad, and it's SO SLOW. Slow menu, slow focus, slow shutter activation. The menu navigation is terrible. I can't find the right setting…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Good improvement over AW130

Somewhat confusing why it wasn't called the Nikon AW140 as it really is the 4th camera in the series (after AW100, AW110, AW120 and AW130). On paper, the W300 isn't much better than the AW130. There's no improved sensor size, no improved zoom, and while it's 4k, it's not 4k 60P. However, there are many hidden improvements that make this camera significantly better than the AW130/AW120 (which are almost identical). Image and video stabilization is much better. They also fixed a lot of white…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some small things

I don't like it at all

I've been using a Panasonic Lumix TS4 camera since 2012 and the seals are completely worn out so I decided to exchange and this Nikon seemed the most suitable for me. I liked the Panasonic TS4 but I absolutely hate this Nikon. It's slow, the menu layout is terrible and very confusing, and the flash turns off even if you turn it off. The picture quality is okay, but the color reproduction is terrible, there is a lot of variation from shot to shot. It really seems to bring out the orange and red…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few minor things
