Nikon 1 AW1 Black
Its waterproof to 49 feet and shockproof from 6.6-foot drops make it a truly rugged mirrorless camera that eliminates the need for a separate underwater housing. The EXPEED 3A processor and 14.2MP 1-inch sensor deliver Full HD 1080p video at 60fps, complemented by built-in GPS and an action control button for gloved operation. This camera is best for snorkelers, kayakers, and backcountry skiers who prioritize a durable, all-weather body over modern 4K video or high-resolution stills.
