This Nikon W150 Camera fits into a sector where there’s competition from mobile phones as well as other big name pocket cameras – its primary selling point is the fact it’s waterproof to 10m/35ft and shockproof to just under 2m/6ft plus temperature resistant. In the box, you get a charging adaptor/lead, strap, cleaning brush, battery (EN-EL19) and a quick start guide.The W150 sports a 13.3MP CMOS sensor, 3x optical zoom which reaches 6x with digital zoom, electronic vibration reduction, LED flash, 200 shot battery life and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. A battery charge takes under two hours and will give you about 200 shots.The 2.7” screen is adequate but isn't high resolution at 230K pixels although visibility in bright light is reasonably good.The camera is intuitive to use thanks to the colourful menus and separate large buttons for pictures/video. Apart from the usual joystick type menu switch, there are 4 “flexible buttons” to the left of the screen which allow you to do a number of things including; altering camera settings; adding voice annotations to photographs; use creative borders/digital filters; select favourites etc. The system is easy to learn and works well and whilst this isn’t a camera where you can manually control exposure, aperture etc there are 18 scene modes.Picture quality is surprisingly decent and I’ve included a few samples with this review. The camera seems to cope with macro shots well and the 3x zoom is better than expected, although it isn’t always clear when you’re using the digital portion of the zoom. The flash is adequate but slightly prone to red-eye but that can be removed easily enough. Predictably the camera delivers lower quality results in low light conditions.Video footage at 1080P 30fps is quite good, although, the vibration reduction isn’t particularly strong, but as the camera doesn’t have a huge zoom capability holding it steady is easier. If complete steadiness is important the W150 has a traditional tripod screw mount.The autofocus works okay and is quite fast for the class of camera. I like the smile timer which waits to take the picture until it detects a person has smiled – it works a lot better than I imagined. The stereo sound is a novelty but like all cameras of this type it's a bit limited in sonic terms.The waterproofing seems fine to me, I’ve tested the camera underwater, but cameras of this type do need to be looked after properly, and when you first switch the camera on it will walk you through the things you need to do. One of my friends says it’s a good idea to store the camera with the battery door open to avoid compressing the silicone seal.Overall, especially if you need/like the toughness of this type of camera the W150 is worth a look, it offers simplicity of operation, quite a few extra features, and reasonable image quality at the price point.
