Customers are impressed with the COOLPIX W300's camera quality, waterproof and shock-resistant design, and ease of use. Many appreciate its GPS functionality and lightweight, compact size, making it ideal for various outdoor activities. However, some users experienced issues with battery life, and the screen's performance in bright sunlight was criticized. The camera's water resistance is a frequently praised feature, though users should be mindful of potential battery issues.

    This camera works great for pictures during all those times when you need a tough camera that can handle the elements. I would have given 5 stars, but the charger quit working the second time I plugged it into the wall. Easy replacement through Best Buy though.

    Very happy with the camera so far. I haven't spent time in the water with it, but have had excellent result with Landscape and night scenes. I would recommend this camera for a good alternative to a DSLR with using in water potential. Everything is hermetically sealed very well.

    Bought this for a trip to Hawaii, most for its underwater capabilities. It worked really well for basic underwater photography and underwater videos. Never got much below 2 meters (snorkeling) but pictures and videos were pretty good.

    I returned this item unused as I purchase it for a trip that we never got to take. Due to health reasons, we had to cancelled out of the cruise that our daughter and son-in-law purchase for us. So disappointed.

    I do a lot of outside construction and this camera does everything I need and more. Rain or shine this camera works great and has made it through some pretty rough falls and still works like a charm.

    The camera is good for taking photos in the pool or anywhere else that's underwater. I would not use it as my everyday camera as the quality of the photos outside of the water is not the greatest.

    Great improvement over my old Coolpix W300, which I needed to replace due to damage I caused. Transferring pictures from the camera to my smart phone is much easier.

    I purchased this camera for a trip to the beach. First, let me say I should have known better because I purchased this to replace our Nikon Coolpix AW120 underwater camera after the lens fogged up 2 years after purchasing it with minimal use (2 beach vacations). Three days into vacation and very minimal use, the screen began to fog up. The 4th day, the lens fogged over. Mind you, the battery compartment was opened once to place an externally charged battery and the camera card. I contacted Nikon customer service and had the worst customer service I have ever received. They do not stand by their product. They informed me they are there to only repair not to replace products. Luckily Best Buy was awesome and I was able to return after the 14 day return policy because I was out of the country during that time. Expensive and not dependable.

    Excellent camera except I don't understand why they say not to put the strap on if taking into the water. I did anyways because the camera doesn't float.

    Camera works well overall. However, it did flood at 30 feet and needed to be replaced. The new camera works much better.
