Nikon Waterproof and Shockproof Nikon 1 AW1

Nikon Waterproof and Shockproof Nikon 1 AW1

The world's first digital camera with interchangeable lenses and two dedicated lenses that can all be used underwater.

Nikon Australia is pleased to announce the release of the Nikon 1 AW1 and two dedicated waterproof lenses, expanding the Nikon 1 advanced camera with interchangeable lenses family.

Nikon is pushing the boundaries of the Nikon 1 System with a camera that will appeal to those adventurous photographers who need the flexibility of interchangeable lenses, with the rough-and-tumble appeal of a water-proof, shock-proof and -life-proof' camera. The 1 Nikkor AW 10mm f/2.8 (waterproof to 20m) and 1 Nikkor AW 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 (waterproof to 15m) lenses have been designed for use exclusively with the Nikon 1 AW1.

Five-time ASP Women's World Champion, Stephanie Gilmore: 'My passion for photography formed after a few years travelling the world on the ASP Tour and surf trips," says Gilmore. 'My two favourite cameras are the COOLPIX AW110 and the Nikon 1 because I like to travel light. The COOLPIX AW110 is my 'go anywhere' camera, often joining me on a wave or being thrown around in my beach bag; and my Nikon 1 allows me to experiment with different ways of capturing the beauty of  the people and places I visit on my travels. Combining my two favourite cameras into one is so exciting, especially for my adventurous lifestyle."

Internationally renowned Surf & Fashion photographer, Ted Grambeau:
'I'm pretty excited by the prospect of a high quality waterproof compact digital camera that truly integrates into a photographic system. Having the ability to go in the water with waterproof lenses as well as adapt to an existing range of my professional lenses makes this possibly the most versatile camera ever produced. Superfast frame rates in stills, extreme slow motion video, edge to edge autofocusing and the ability to convert lenses to super telephotos; it's the perfect compliment to my existing professional
system."
