Nikon recently announced the Nikon 1 AW1, the first mirrorless digital camera with interchangeable lens that is water proof. On top of that, it also comes with two waterproof, shockproof and freeze proof lense in the form of the Nikkor AW 11-27.5mm and Nikkor AW 10mm f/2.8. Both lens offer much flexibility and more options as the wide angle 10mm lens offers a wider aperture and shallow depth of field in low lighting conditions while the 11-27.5mm lens has a 2.5x zoom range. The AW1 camera itself can be submerged down to 49 feet, is shockproof up to 6.6 feet and freeze proof up to 14 degrees F. Features like the pop-up flash are also water proof and the 14.2MP CMOS sensor works well with the Nikon EXPEED 3A image processing engine to bring better imaging in a super rugged body. Other tech specs and features include ISO ranging from 160 to 6400, full HD 1080p video recording, slow motion video recording at 400fps or 1200 fps, built-in GPS and WU-1B wireless mobile adapter support. The Nikon AW1 is priced at $800 (RM2531) for a single lens kit and $1000 (RM3160) for the double-lens kit. You have a choice of black, silver and white with Malaysia release dates starting in or after October 2013.
