◎ Nikon coolpix AW120 waterproof and shockproof camera initial use experience

It’s been a long time since I traveled to Thailand with my husband. I can spur him to visit again from Thailand’s New Year’s Festival-Songkran. I hope I can feel the joyous atmosphere solidly, but I also hope to take a good photo of the joy of that day. , But when I did my homework, I knew that the Songkran Festival is not just about spraying each other with water guns, even water pipes, fire hydrants, and large buckets of ice water are not joking. In addition, they will smear each other's face and body with special powder. Must be waterproof and dustproof, but also responsible for the day recorder.

This time we are cooperating with Yahoo! Qimo Shopping Center, thank you very much for helping us to show this Nikon coolpix AW120. This waterproof camera was launched in February this year. It attracts us with its high-end specifications of 2mm wide-angle, F24 maximum aperture, waterproof, dustproof and shockproof , Directly take it to challenge the toughest evaluation task! ^^

◎ Nikon coolpix AW120 24mm wide-angle end for easy selfies, suitable for capturing blue sky and blue sea during travel

This camera is based on a waterproof and dustproof route, and even has shock and weather resistance features. It appeals to people who love outdoor sports, water sports, diving and polar sports. When buying this camera, I hope everyone can make good use of a feature "Smile shooting" , As long as the subject in the image smiles, the system will automatically detect the face and focus and take the picture. There is no need to press the shutter specially, and the wide-angle end is easy to shoot. Although there is no flip screen available, this makes us feel quite useful!

In addition, I am a Nikon lover myself. The single-lens camera in my hand is also the Nikon D3, which was purchased in March. I have always liked shooting the blue sky and white clouds on sunny days. This time I took the Nikon coolpix AW610 for the blue color in the photo. The color tone is very satisfactory, and it sets out the beauty of the blue sea of ​​Koh Samui. It turns out that the waterproof camera can also take good landscape photos.
