The package includes a small manual for quick start (a detailed manual can be downloaded from the Nikon website as a PDF file), a strap, a power adapter, a rechargeable battery and a USB cable to transfer the data to your PC.
The camera actually makes a very valued and stable impression and I personally like the bold, bright blue casing color of my model - it stands out so that from the gray-black unit mass.
In recent days I've been testing the AW130 extensively and am not at all, but was still surprised very positive in most important respects.
The processing of the camera makes a very good impression on me: All controls are of course waterproof and, the surface offers the important places generous, grooved surfaces for a secure grip.
Unfortunately, in order to ensure the watertight integrity has suffered some of the ease of use of the camera: The initiator and the other setting keys can be operated only with great pressure, which unfortunately can lead to blurred images in difficult lighting situations before. General makes the AW130 but very clean and sharp images, the quality I have therefore to complain about little.
Behind a high-security flap are the connections for USB or HDMI connection and for the memory card and the battery, which is conveniently charged directly in the camera.
Whether the camera is truly waterproof to the specified 30 meters I can not verify; However, I have undergone extensive testing and a shower bath, which she survived without reason to complain. The tightness and shock resistance is expected for most users probably more in the ski, beach holiday or walking holiday play a role, so that you can suspend even harsher environments the camera without fear.
What has me still disturbed besides the stiff controls, was the very fiddly Attaching the Strap. Degree at a outdoor or underwater camera this belt should actually be solved with a handle. As an attachment via a snap hook would have been the more practical solution.
Of course, this camera has the usual "fun programs" for Aufhübschung the images on board, including Sepia, Pop, Cross Process, Black and White conversion and much more.
I myself use these programs rarely, but if you like, is in any case a nice selection. Also a lot of motive automatics are available: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, interiors, beach, snow, sunset, dusk, night scene, close-up, fireworks, backlight and more.
For a better overview, I have listed the for me personally the positive and negative features:
PLUSES:
Compact & handy
Waterproof & shockproof
clear photos with rich colors
many settings
large focal area 24 120 mm
Fun Filters
FullHD videos possible, surprisingly good sound quality
Wireless Mobile Utility - APP: releasing the camera, watching and transferring images via Smartphone
Useful gimmicks: GPS, compass, barometer, depth gauge
intuitive and clear menu navigation
Cons:
Controls sluggish
Strap: fiddly and not quick to install or remove attachment
Image quality suffers a bit in wide angle (blurring at the edge)
PSU fall very clunky
in extreme wide-angle images are slightly blurred in the border area
My Conclusion:
Those looking for an inexpensive and compact small notches for the holidays or harder use in the leisure sector, makes the Nikon AW130 certainly a good grip. She forgives many things that would certainly kill other cameras and is therefore great for bad weather hiking, skiing and snowboarding holidays, and use on the beach and snorkeling. Although because of the tightness has suffered some of the ease of use, it is my recommendation to buy value.
