At first I was skeptical but after the easy free installation of the app. onto my cell phone, I find it works very well for me.
The wi-fi capacity allows for very quick access to pictures and allows them to be saved and share very quickly.

The W300's built-in wireless feature can be used to connect the camera to compatible iOS and Android devices running Nikon's free SnapBridge app. SnapBridge allows you to wirelessly transfer your pictures to a smartphone or tablet for easy sharing online or by text or email. SnapBridge can also be used to trigger the W300 remotely for selfies, group shots, or getting interesting angles.

Wi-Fi capability lets you share all of your photos with other Wi-Fi enabled devices over private and public networks. You won't require any wires. Just sync to a network and transfer files in no time to a cloud or another device via the Nikon SnapBridge app.

I took this camera with me to Ireland and Iceland, and we were wanting to send photos and commentary back to a grandchild's school during the trip. I also took a Nikon D7200 and used both cameras. With the little one, I was able to electronically transfer the photos from the camera to my cellphone, where I then was able to e-mail the photos back to the US almost instantly. It worked really well, without any cables or transferring SD cards or anything else. 

You can also use it to automatically back-up the photos onto another storage device every evening. The camera is very high quality, waterproof, and very inexpensive.
