30-meter waterproof compact with 16MP sensor, f/2.8 aperture, dedicated underwater blue/green water color correction modes.
The Nikon W300 is the underwater camera for someone who wants one device that handles both reasonable still quality and video without committing to the GoPro ecosystem or TG-7 specialist territory. The 30-meter depth rating is the highest of any dedicated compact on this list. The 16MP sensor and f/2.8 aperture produce clean images in well-lit underwater environments. The dedicated underwater scene modes โ including a blue and green water correction mode โ handle the color shift at depth reasonably well. Battery life through a full snorkeling day is better than the GoPro.
Pros
- 30-meter depth rating, deepest of any compact here
- Dedicated blue/green water color correction modes
- Better battery life than action cameras
Cons
- f/2.8 aperture less capable in dim conditions than the TG-7's f/2.0
- Video quality trails GoPro for stabilization
