QuestionGPS - accuracy and typeGPS - what accuracy (+/- how many feet), and what type - is this "real" GPS that uses satellites, or does it use cell towers (I think called "A-GPS"), or (ideally) both. I am looking for a camera with gps to document remote locations that often lack cell tower signal.
Asked 10 years ago by landTrustworthy.
- Answer The COOLPIX AW130 uses A-GPS which is not related to cell towers. It is satellite based. The "A" is for assisted. It is a file that gets updated from our servers in Japan with GPS detail that will assist the camera in getting the GPS coordinates faster.

Questiontouch screen/manufacturerNIKON AW 130. is this touch screen? where is this manufactured?
Asked 9 years ago by moon.
- Answer The COOLPIX AW130 is not a touch screen camera, but it does have Action Control in which certain actions can be performed by shaking or tilting the camera. Nikon operates factories all across the globe and each operates to the same high standard. While individual cameras are marked with their country of manufacture, we cannot make a blanket statement about the country of origin of a specific type/model of camera.

QuestionDoes anyone know of a camera that can take pictures of lightning and stars and moon wild horses running Buffalo heard running need clear pictures don't always have time to change a lot of lens
Asked 9 years ago by Rez4tina1967.
- Answer While the Nikon COOLPIX AW130 digital camera is an awesome camera, built to withstand the most rugged situations, you may want to look into cameras that offer an ability to adjust the settings to fit all of the scenarios you mentioned. The Nikon COOLPIX S9900 digital camera, for instance, has a mode dial to help you change settings so that you can get a high-quality image without having to change a lens. Want more zoom capability than the S9900? The Nikon COOLPIX P530 digital camera offers up to 42x optical zoom, with no change of lens required, to help you get closer to wildlife without moving an inch. If you are looking into getting star trails, the AW130 and S9900 both offer this as a direct option to choose from on the menu under Scenes options. All of these cameras have something to offer the photographer who is always "on the go".
