I think AW series definitely deserved to be continued. It is the ONLY system camera that you can snork with with NO additional equipment! It is a miracle!
What a treat to get another review of the AW1. I bought it in 2014 and took it snorkeling in Aruba, then Maui the next year with no problems. I did know about water intrusion issues so I stopped using it underwater (New Jersey and Chesapeake Bay are not worth it) but love it for bad weather and shooting on my sailboat and windsurfing above the water. I was lucky to buy a second at Adorama for $250 in 2020 (bad lens but Nikon fixed) and since then picked up a J5 and a J1. Take care of the waterproof 10mm lens, it took e a few years to find an affordable one.
I have the Olympus Tough TG6, its waterproof to 50 feet and is supposed to be drop friendly from 6 feet. It makes excellent images. Fits in pants pocket. SD card. Tiny powerful batteries. But no interchangeable lenses.
Once again, you've introduced me to a camera that can't survive without. Thanks, pal. Long ago, in a trailer park far away, when I was young and strong, and my hair grew in places that made sense, I was the proud owner of a nifty little point and shoot camera called the Nikon Action Touch. I bought it used from the camera shop where I worked for fifty dollars, but I think it retailed new for about two hundred. It had a surprisingly good 35mm f/2.8 lens, a manual focus mode actuated by a big-ish, nobbly dial on top of the camera, and a self-timer. There was a version that would imprint the date in a bottom corner of the image. I never cared for that feature, and mine didn't have it anyway, so it didn't matter. Oh yeah, it also had a tiny built in flash that you could turn on manually if you wanted it. It was good to about two meters with 100 ISO film, but that shortened a good bit underwater. I took it under water a few times, in the Atlantic Ocean. It worked perfectly, and the photos are clear and properly exposed. It was most satisfying hearing people gasp as I rinsed the salt water off at a foot wash station on the way back to the parking lot. It had a decent bit of nice, rubber armor on most of the outside, and was waterproof down to a couple of meters. It had a big, plastic slip-on lens cap that covered the end of the lens and was tethered to a camera strap eyelet. I intensely disliked the tether because if you didn't hold it between your fingers while shooting it would inevitably find its way in front of the lens; and since it was a rangefinder style camera, you didn't know about that until you saw your prints. I snipped that sucker and the lens cap automatically went into my pocket as with any civilized photographer. I gratuitously abused mine, even accidentally dropping it from a roller coaster at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA. The fall was seventy or eighty feet at least, but it was slowed by bouncing off the structures of the roller coaster before finally making it to the gravel below. The good folks at Busch Gardens sent a young fellow in to retrieve it for me and it continued for many years afterward to provide me with great photos. Remember, these are the people who gave us the venerable Nikonos cameras. They know how to make a toughy.
The tilting mode toggle is sick. So many of these cool ~2010-2018 cameras would be so much more desirable with 4K. I wonder if you can remove surface-mount processors/ram and replace with more powerful processing engines the way people upgrade flash storage on Macbooks. Would make for a good niche TH-cam channel.
you couldnt replace the processor, they all have different pin arrangements and that would require a newly designed mainboard, plus the software and sensor, sensors have a maximum speed too
@@warmoaran3 Obviously any chip replacement would require the same surface-mount pin arrangement and processing pipelines. While there'd be huge variability between various components, you'd seek out ones with commonality (if any exist).
I loved that little camera. I worked for a major camera retailer in the US and the silver and black ones sold like hotcakes, even the white ones didn't sell too bad, but the red, and pink and stupid blue ones, we couldn't give away. I liked the miniature system and they made rather nice images.
If I'm not mistaken, they used to coat the lens seal with a light grease of some kind. So possibly after years it would get even harder to take of the lenses. When new, they were still an effort to remove.
I had s1, v1 for streetphotos. A few weeks ago I bought a J1 and a 10mm/2.8 out of nostalgia. The combo cost me 180 euros at MPB. Beautiful camera and the photos are still usable.
I honestly would love to have seen the Nikon 1 series see a comeback. I have two J1 bodies (black and pink), and a V1. For what you get in the package, it's a super cool and compact system. The biggest issue they needed to figure out was the lens reliability, otherwise it was a very cool little system.
I got one in a local camera shop for 350€ new a few years ago as an ex demo one because they did not sell. Used it in horrendous conditions and it never skipped a beat.
I owned one of these for years from when they first came out until it got stolen a few months ago. Luckily I picked up another one with the 10mm lens at a bargain price. Over the years my original camera had a pretty tough life but came through with very little wear and tear considering. Against other non “tough” cameras I’ve no doubt it won’t necessarily stand up in terms of performance but in the world of tough compact cameras I think it stands head and shoulders above the rest.
I have had several J series Nikon 1s and two Nikon 1 V1s (the first one was stolen,) They were an almost excellent camera, though, being an EVF person. I always prefer the somewhat chunkier V series. Sadly, the lenses let them down, with a bad habit of failing due to the use of tiny plastic gears which would break. With a 10-30mm lens, it was a really good street camera, and the 30-110 lens gave it the equivalent zoom range of any of its comtemporary DSLRs. Of course you are right that it doesn't do bokeh all that well. My comment is, "whatever that is." I loved to put the camera in one jacket pocket, the longer telephoto in the other and take photos around town or go on a walk through the park. I even rook my V1 to the snow, tucked inside my jacket, and stowed back as soon as I took a photo. At a time when flip up/flip out screens were used on other cameras, their lack in all but the final J5 was irritating, and the addition of top deck controls in the J5 was a great move as the controls on earlier models could be fiddly and easily inadvertently changed . Overall, though, if they brought out a V5 or whatever -- or, better, an all weather V5 (ie with an EVF) with some kind of moveable screen, 14-20MP (approx), and reliable lenses, I'd definitely be interested.
I wonder how the market would have turned put if Nikon kept at their 1 series and Canon had kept at their EOS M. Sony showed that compact mirrorless interchangeable cameras had potential, and the moment Canon and Nikon gave up, Sony ate their lunch.
Naturally, I find powerful 1" systems very relatable so I almost bought this a while back, but after owning some of the 16mp Fujifilm cameras I feel like I minimum need pixel remapping on my old cameras - does this have that option? Hot pixels drive me up the wall.
I just got a Nikon 1 J4, and the lens has an aperture problem. (Because of that: Pics are dim, Can't focus indoors) and all the lenses on ebay seem to have the same aperture problem. It's so frustrating.
@@LuaCynthia Yes!...the 11-27.5 lens he shows in the video has a problem where it will not correctly "stop down" above f/8 or 9.. I had three of these cameras and this was the "kit' Lens that all came with. (they were all refurbs from Nikon itself BTW...) and those lens worked for a short while before the aperture problem develops. Below F/8-9 it functions normally and the exposure seems correct, but above it, blows out and the blades don't seem to click out? Contacted Nikon about this and the repair was way more priced than just buying another refurbed lens. Which availability has since long gone away! There was one or two other issues had with those lens malfunctioning i found, but i gave up researching all the quirks and just use the AW1 as a slightly better point/shoot style with great design and body, but the lens was the issues with mine as you both described.
I have two of them - I wish Nikon would update it and simplify the waterproofing. The AF tracking, image quality is still very good. I have had images in a magazine printed as double A4 pages (A3). Almost unique is you can shot still full frame jpegs during video - and the there is no disturbance in the video roll. Not seen that in any other camera.
Given how tough it's suppose to be, I'm rather disappointed it doesn't have a guard which automatically closes over the sensor when you remove the lens. Really wish that was a more common feature on cameras.
@@jacob_90s disagree. Shutters are much more sensitive to damage tham the sensor itself. I'd rather clean my sensor of dust once in a while rather than have to pay to get my shutter replaced/repaired.
@@thomasni123 Wrong word choice. I know there are some cameras which do bring the shutter down, but I've also seen some which has a separate guard which is integrated into the lens mount. When the lens is on it holds the guard open, and when the lens is removed it closes the guard. You are still right though; it is another point of failure, however if it is integrated as part of the lens mount, then it should have roughly the same accidental failure rate as the lens mount itself. What's more any physical incident which results in damage to the guard would also likely result in damage to the sensor itself, at which point I would rather be repairing/removing the guard, rather than having to replace a whole camera. I've had discussions with many people about this and one of the main things that annoys me is that many of the people who talk down the idea also happen to be professional photographers who have a fairly large collections of expensive cameras and lenses. No one wants to have replace a damaged camera, but there is an order of magnitude of difference between a professional who does it as a business decision, versus an amateur like me, who if I damaged a multi thousand dollar camera would be devastated.
Still have my red J1 and matching 10mm prime. Later bought the V1 that has the EVF. Still think the AF on these cameras is blazing fast; especially for the launch date! Love the images at low iso values.
This is quickly becoming my favorite youtube channel, because I'm a freak for interesting small cameras, and Tom is one of those as well. Also his jokes are funny so go back to PetaPixel you absolute bores.🙄
the problem is the lenses for this system. it seems like most people either have "known good" lenses (which they will never sell), or have just resigned themselves to having a lens failure brick their setup, since nikon isn't repairing them any more. i looked into this a few months back, and seeing only the less reliable lenses on sale, decided it would have to remain a curiosity .. the bodies themselves are pretty cool and nikon briefly leaked a followup line before cancelling it :(
Hi had 2 and I had water seeping in. I think Nikon replaced one and I ended up selling the second. I now use DJI or GoPro and I never get any leaks. I also had another Nikon 1 series camera with the dive housing and it never leaked. The battery door of the AW1 seems under engineered for going under water in salt water. Still I kinda regret selling it. I would not use it for diving but it would be handy to use on the surface, when I go spearfishing. Keep it in a dry bag on my float. But 12 megapixels is not much these days. Or is it 14? But it makes me cringe to see the drop test of a still working camera. It can be great to shoot during rainfall, snowstorms, or to take on a boat.
the "o-ring" cap is easy to find in the net. just look on the right places. i dont know where to send you a message so not everybody will see the link and may stealbuy it right in front of you.
Ok, I hear you, breaking things isn't one of them. Beside that I got all 3 cameras, black, white and silver. I haven't uses them for 12 years so, I have a very low count, hold on I know it hasn't got a shutter so it doesn't matter how many shots taken maybe a million. It is a good/best cameras in my collection. Oh yes, I have other Nikon 1 cameras, more than 50 of them, not quite a complete set. took me a good 5 years to collect and went quiet for another 5 years, remember take the batteries out if you gonna store them. I better stop chatting or everybody get bored of me. Byee
To have sent back for repair many, many AW1. People are dumb when they read "underwater camera" and still open to replace the battery under water. Ocean salt water is not good, if anyone, somehow, wonder.
Sub-zero temperatures. lol. -10 C is not even winter temperatures in russia. i easely can say, there is 80% chance that any modern and film camera is working down to -15 degrees C(trust me).Almost all film cameras working at -20. Digital is a little tricky, because the battery is dying much faster, but i know people who shooting film and digital in places where (in russia we say) wolfes are afraid to sh... p00p. Like easily -30-40. But -40 is a dead line. A lot of film winders and lenses motors were broken in Norilsk... Don't take leica here. The main problem is not the temperature, but moisture that start appeal when you bring the camera in warm after a long time outside, it's bricking cameras. Just put the camera in the camera bag before coming at the house and let it rest fo 3-4 hours🥰
Hey man, my older brother wants to buy a new affordable camera, but he doesnt want an old camera, any suggestions that can reach our budget and beginner friendly edit: maybe a budget under 60 bucks, if possible Edit:ok maybe like under 100 bucks
@@MrPrinceT If you are looking for interchangable lenses, I would generally suggest Micro Four Thirds as very beginner friendly and affordable. Though getting a camera for 60$ that is good and not "old" seems almost impossible.
I genuinely hope you're the kid in the picture and not the grown ass adult. Imagine reaching that age and not knowing the purpose of a joke... ess em haich
Ridiculous way to ruin a good camera, I believe it was designed for accidental breakage, not intentional damage. Anyway, it's your money. thank you for the review.

Who will buy it?
@@JohnDir-xw3hf a lot of people, aren’t small cameras just amazing 🤩
Hard to know, everyone seems to be obsessed with larger sensor sizes these days
In the form of AW1 but with Z50 II tech
Great to see the AW1 getting some love. I've always been a big fan of this unique model, even thought I've had some problems with condensation.
I have the Olympus Tough TG6, its waterproof to 50 feet and is supposed to be drop friendly from 6 feet. It makes excellent images. Fits in pants pocket. SD card. Tiny powerful batteries. But no interchangeable lenses.
