Personally, i’m kind excited to see and test this guy out. I’ve been wanting a small and decent camera for random adventures, specifically waterproof and underwater capable. I’ve never really used a waterproof camera outside of a GoPro before, so something like this seems pretty fun and a little more familiar to me. What do you think? Have you used any of Nikon’s Coolpix cameras before? What about Point & Shoot waterproof rigs? Let us know in the comments below.
