The Nikon 1 AW1 is a Nikon 1 series high-speed mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera by Nikon. It is a waterproof, rugged, high-speed MILC camera with 15m (49feet) water pressure resistance, shockproof from 2m (07feet), and freezeproof to -10C. It was announced on September 19, 2013, together with two waterproof lenses.[1]
It has nearly the same features as the 1 J3, but with a heavier body and GPS added.
DPReview.com tested the camera extensively both on land and in the sea and noted that the camera had much better image quality than other "rugged cameras" tested. They also noted, however, that "one must be extremely careful, as just a few grains of sand can end the AW1's life ... and repairing or replacing it won't be cheap."[2]
