The short story and my question:
I'm thinking about getting the Nikon Coolpix AW120 to have along in my deck hatch until I have the opportunity to get my hands on a Nikon 1 AW1 and try that camera out before I buy. Anyone had the Coolpix AW120 out paddling?
The update for those who saw my previous thread:
I was intent on buying the Nikon 1 AW1 when it came into stock and use this promising smaller interchangeable lens digicam which is fully waterproof and shock proof as my on water camera.
I had email alerts setup to tell me right away when the AW1 landed and basically became tired of waiting. To give mirror less a try I ordered the very well regarded Fujifilm X-E2 and ended up returning it because we just didn't like workflow required shoot with the camera. Clear after taking it on a week long trip where we planned to shoot mostly with the X-E2 but ended up either using the full-sized DSLRs or even a point & shoot or iPhone. Sent it back and thanks to B&H for their stellar customer service, as always.
In the middle of my move I got notifications that the Nikon AW1 was in stock and had the chance to pull the trigger but given my only experience with mirror less (though not with Nikon's mirror less) being negative and the cost and distraction of moving, I didn't buy. They are now on backorder status again. So I'm thinking about getting the Nikon Coolpix AW120 to have along in my deck hatch until I have the opportunity to get my hands on a Nikon 1 AW1 and try that out before I buy. Anyone had the Coolpix AW120 out paddling? (searched the forum and it doesn't look like it's ever been mentioned here)
