[QUOTE="Lorddaxter, post: 388303, member: 35309"] So, hubby bought me a Nikon 1AW1 in the spring, was busy and aside from the odd pic here and there haven't used it much, I have both the waterproof lenses and the Nikkor 32, I like to snorkel hence the need for a rugged camera and it snows a lot too here so hoping to get some nice snow shots of the hirses etc. So, after only using for a few days on my recent vacation the camera battery compartment refuses to open, one of the two switches well the yellow part has jammed and won't open hence I can't charge the stupid thing, it was working ok up till then and I have been anal about cleaning this, keeping sand etc out and I am mighty annoyed as after it broke I had two once in a lifetime moments while snorkelling and had no underwater camera:( Today I spoke to camera shop who informed me it has to be sent to Nikon in Vancouver and will take 6-8 weeks, are you kidding me, so no decent camera for Xmas now too, I was looking forward to taking pony out in sleigh which I just got and getting some cool action shots with snow flying etc. Im very very disappointed and short of a free holiday to try to re capture my missed photos then I'm not sure how Nikon can regain my faith, I dont fancy my chances?! I only managed to use the camera on a couple snorkels before it packed in, photos weren't great, it's trial and error to adjust water colour and I wasn't deep enough for the flash which I tried but it was so bright it washed the pictures out, and of course by the time I found the perfect setting the camera broke, the land pictures I managed to take were pretty impressive, stunning colours and sharpness, I'll post some once I get camera returned as unfortunately the memory card is in where the battery is too! Interested to hear if anyone else has experienced problems with this camera, a Google search doesn't bring up all that much, mostly water flooding but mine is ok that way. i will keep this thread updated once I hear anything, thanks in advance:) [/QUOTE]
