What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • If you're used to holding a heftier camera body, you'll have to work to hold this one steady, it's so lightweight.
  • Great, lightweight camera. Easy to use. Picture quality is good.
  • Great camera, great pictures. Easy to operate and the size is perfect.
  • It fits in your pocket or purse very nicely. Have not been able to use under water yet, still to cold.
  • The size and shape of this camera are well suited to small hands, not so much to my hands, and my middle-aged-man hands are not that big.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • The camera is a nice size and comfortable to hold but beware does not float on own, attach floating strap before taking out into open water.
  • Great style and size. The only thing is the battery life is not that great.
  • It was perfect size and used it scuba diving and on land, performed well on both! Thank you Fuji!
  • Also camera has a little bit of weight to it which means higher quality components are used. It's a solid buy.
  • Smaller, light weight and easy to handle. I use for work. Takes good pics. Like larger screen over it predecessor.

What customers say about "Imaging"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • What is really great about this camera: it has superb image quality for its class.
  • In good light, the pictures are very sharp and clean, with true colors, little noise, and great detail.
  • The flash illuminates pretty evenly and provides enough light for sharp indoor photos.
  • Bought this camera for a trip to Spain and was very disappointed with the bad quality of the photos.
  • Many pictures were blurry and most of the images were dull and not true to color.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • And to be able to zoom underwater with no loss of digital quality since this camera has an actual physical lens zoom and not digital interpolation.
  • Burst shooting works great. Thanks to this, I can take many photos to choose the best one.
  • Really like this camera. Used it for all types of holiday snaps from low light to very bright light to underwater pool and open sea shots.
  • I would not recommend this camera. The Olympus has a larger aperture, which I know would have produced better shots indoors.
  • Having to switch from formats means opening a tiny screen (that's almost impossible to read outside in sunlight) and push several buttons to get the format you want.

What customers say about "Display"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • The screen fogged and I thought I'd ruined it. But after letting it dry it's been fine.
  • The screen looks bright and clear, you can see well in the water, a suitable size.
  • Cool diving camera with a crystal-clear screen that allows you to view everything under water.
  • It was a little difficult to see the screen when in the sun and water.
  • The screen is too small so you cannot see what on it, and you cannot take pictures from 3’-4’ and needs to be closer.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • We got home we showed the photos on our large screen tv thanks to the hdmi connector and they still looked great blown up.
  • Large readable screen that allows you to easily view photos.
  • Excellent screen and resolution that conveys the natural colors of the photograph when viewing them.
  • In bright sunlight the screen is difficult to see and the picture quality on normal photos is only average.
  • The screen is not a good representation at all of what your picture really looks like. I took several pictures I thought were terrible on the screen, but looked great on my PC.

What customers say about "Protection"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • This is a good camera. Good picture quality and the waterproofing works well.
  • The camera is waterproof and doesn't cost too much, the quality of the pictures is ok.
  • So durable! When they say waterproof and shockproof they are not kidding. Simple to use.
  • This camera is NOT waterproof. Well, maybe if you drop it in a puddle. I took it snorkeling and within the first 20 minutes, it clouded up, got condensation, and was essentially useless.
  • If you want a cheap waterproof camera that's better than a disposable, this is ok but if you have a few more $$ to spend, you might consider more advanced models.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • If you want a reasonably priced camera for use underwater it is well worth the investment.
  • Great little compact, very hard wearing as needed due to my drivers constantly using it for there jobs.
  • The camera is definitely waterproof. We had the camera submerged several times along the trip, and even got some good underwater pics in a clear spring we were passing.
  • The camera took great pictures and is completely waterproof but, is now at the bottom of the Colorado River.
  • I was at 60 feet less than stated on camera, taken a few pictures and then the screen suddenly went blank.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • Wi-Fi works well, without disconnects and fast enough, bright screen, lightweight.
  • The USB port is great for downloading my photos to a computer, also a good wifi connection.
  • On this camera the usb port is much faster than on my previous one, which was a very nice addition.
  • Stable wifi signal, high-quality housing and shockproof in fact, I checked.
  • This camera is easy enough to operate but it's a pain in the ... to get the cable plugged in to charge the battery and I am so far unable to download images to my computer.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • We got home we showed the photos on our large screen tv thanks to the hdmi connector and they still looked great blown up.
  • Decided on this one for several reasons, GPS, HD video, as well as being able to wireless connect to a tablet or phone to share pictures and video to social media.
  • The wi-fi router/pc connection was impossible to establish. Concluded that the bluetooth and wi-fi were not worth using. Battery life could be better.
  • The bluetooth would never fully connect and there is some sort of ad-hoc wireless connection that I have not yet gotten working either.
  • The smart phone app tied to this is fairly clunky and lacks appropriate options to control their workflow.

What customers say about "Power"
Nikon COOLPIX W100 Waterproof Camera
  • Holds a good charge on the rechargeable battery that comes with it along with a wall charger and cable.
  • The battery is unbelievable! I used it on vacation in Canada for 10 days, took 100's of pictures and still have not had to recharge it.
  • This version seems to have more battery life/power storage then previous.
  • One of this camera's very few negatives is that with the included charger cable, you must keep the battery in the camera and plug in the entire camera to charge it.
  • Battery life is SHORT - when it dies, everything resets, including the date.
Fujifilm FinePix XP130 Yellow
  • Battery life could be better but battery charges inside the camera via micro usb, so not really a problem.
  • The underwater picture quality both for photos and videos is of a very good quality for a budget price camera. It is simple to operate and the battery life is more than adequate.
  • The battery life actually wasn’t too bad. I usually take a few hundred photos in a day and this camera never died on me.
  • Also buy additional batteries you will need them as battery died after a couple of hours on boat trip.
  • Tried to charge on usb cable but the camera / battery did not charge.
