Nikon unveils S1200pj and AW100 cameras, we go hands-on

In case you were distracted by all the Sony fuss this morning , Nikon also chose today to announce a gaggle of fresh cameras . Most of the new models are incremental updates that will demand in-depth reviews when they’re released in September. In the meantime, however, two cameras stand out as warranting a bit of quick hands-on attention. Firstly, there’s the Coolpix S1200pj priced at $430, which is the third generation of Nikon’s line of projector cameras and appears to house some significant improvements. Next up, we have the $380 AW100, which represents Nikon’s first foray into the all-weather niche since the days of celluloid. It’s a rugged Rambo of a camera that is waterproof down to ear-stinging depths and is a heck of a lot more expensive than the Fuji FinePix XP30 we just took fishing. So, it was only proper that we harpoon pre-release versions of both these cameras in order to provide you with some initial impressions and videos, which you’ll find directly after the break.
