Nikon Announces The AW1, The First Digital Interchangeable Lens Underwater Camera

Published

on

Nikon has announced the first digital, interchangeable lens underwater camera, the AW1.

The AW1 is depth rated to 49-feet, well within the range of recreational diving. More impressive than the “toughness” is the camera within: It’s very similar to the existing Nikon 1 J3, with a 14.2-megapixel CX sensor, an EXPEED 3A processor, ISO range between 160-6400, a 73-point AF array and the ability to shoot Full HD 1080p photos.

Nikon also announced a pair of waterproof lenses to accompany the AW1: an 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 and a wide-angle 10mm f/2.8. The lenses lock in bayonet-style, with the addition of an o-ring to keep the water out.

The camera is set for shipping in October as a single lens kit for $800 or with both lenses for $1000. For more info, check out the Nikon press release.
