Nikon Coolpix AW100 hands-on

PocketLint - 24 August 2011 17:05 GMT / By Chris Hall

First up the AW100 features a GPS, accelerometer and digital compass, so the camera not only knows where you are, but what direction you’re heading in, with Nikon demonstrating the in-built mapping to us.

This mapping resides within the camera, incorporating things like points of interest (which you can turn on or off as you fancy) and you’ll be able to keep the maps up-to-date via firmware updates in the future.

Focus Range - W]: Approx. 1 ft. 8 in. (50 cm.) to infinity; [T]: Approx. 3 ft. 4 in. (1 m.) to infinity
