Waterproof and ready to play
Family holiday? A weekend with friends? Say hello to the waterproof COOLPIX that’s built to go anywhere! This compact adventure camera is so easy to use, anyone can capture superb photos and videos with it. Plus, it’s tough as a coconut and comes in five awesome colours.
From beach days to city adventures. From diving excursions to ski trips and desert jeep rides—this compact adventure camera is ready to go. Enjoy true point-and-shoot ease from the COOLPIX that can handle a drop or two, excels in the cold, and just loves a pool party.
The low-light CMOS sensor and precision NIKKOR lens deliver beautiful photos and movies.
From nearby faces to distant action, the 3x optical zoom and 6x Dynamic Fine Zoom give you plenty of reach. And the dedicated movie button makes it easy to switch straight to recording Full HD (1080p/30 fps) video footage with stereo sound.
Capture brilliant shots of all the best moments without missing a beat. From snowy landscapes to carnival fireworks, the COOLPIX W150 knows what you’re shooting and automatically optimises settings.
Shoot great underwater portraits—without getting in! In Underwater Face Framing mode, the camera snaps up to four photos each time it sees a face. All you need to do is hold the camera under the water. Easy.
You can shoot with a simple menu interface or turn on the Variety menu. This lets you attach voice messages to photos, activate playful welcome screens, animate slide shows, and more. The kids will love it.
Why wait? Nikon’s SnapBridge app for iOS and Android automatically transfers images from your camera to your smartphone/tablet for instant sharing. Plus you can use your smart device to shoot remotely and put yourself in the shot.
Love the effects
Have a blast adding different in-camera effects to your photos, and then share instantly via SnapBridge. Put a photo in a photo for unique selfies. Turn landscapes into tiny planets with the ‘little planet’ effect!
Keeps the fun going
This camera’s long battery life keeps you shooting and the anti-reflective LCD screen offers clear visibility, even underwater. Waterproof accessories like Nikon’s easy-to-spot floating strap keep your camera safe.
This adventure camera’s curved form makes it easy to hold, and spacious button placement makes operation easy. You can pick from a range of designs. Whether you prefer bold patterns and bright buttons, or a solid block of eye-catching colour—the COOLPIX W150 has you covered.

1. Dropped from a height of 180 cm (5 ft 10 in.) onto a surface of 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood (changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop shock portion and waterproof performance are not subject to the test). These tests do not guarantee that the camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
2. Battery life does not reflect the use of SnapBridge and may vary with the conditions of use, including temperature, the interval between shots, and the length of time that menus and images are displayed.
3. Individual movie files cannot exceed 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording. The maximum size of a single movie file is 4 GB. If a file exceeds 4 GB even when you record for less than 29 minutes, recording ends.
All measurements are performed in conformity with Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards or guidelines.
