[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 658555, member: 24285"] Always ready to grab a bargain and saw this one on offer on a local FB Buy and Sell group. Did a bit of background checking - it is a little dated (circa 2010) but it does what it is supposed to do (I have learned there is a firmware update for 2017 I'll have to look into). It hs 16 megapixels (not too shabby for a $60 camera) and I found the manual on line - it has many features, including snapbridge and GPS tagging. Time to read and learn tonight Read some reviews and generally it reviewed very well, both buy users and by review sites. A few distractors. The most common complaint - the buttons are so small - and they are. Big fingered people be warned. Anyone here have one (had one?). I'm taking it to Florida soon, maybe get in the water while I'm there. just maybe. Came with case and strap, charger and battery. I had read a reviewer who said if taking it boating get a floatation wrist strap, and I had noticed one of those on clearance for less than $5 at the local Radio Shack - picked that up too so that my new-to-me AW100 has it's own orange life jacket (right behind it in the photo). Have not tried it underwater - didn't want to get out the ice auger and drill through the ice to test it yet. [ATTACH=CONFIG]280071._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]280072._xfImport[/ATTACH] Did take a few shots to make sure it works good (at least out of the water) This is the zoom range shot from my back deck today. Yep we still have lots of snow but warmed up to -22°C today. Managed the dark-light contrasts of a late in the day snow scene. [ATTACH=CONFIG]280073._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]280074._xfImport[/ATTACH] It has a 'macro' feature, and built in flash so gave that a go too. Shot one of my wife's wizards. [ATTACH=CONFIG]280076._xfImport[/ATTACH] Not a birders camera by any means - but this crow just got in the way so I shot him. [ATTACH=CONFIG]280078._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the obligatory pet shot. This is a Crop-A-Lot shot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]280077._xfImport[/ATTACH] It works. Won't be replacing my DSLR's but easy pocket camera. [/QUOTE]
