Now here’s a pleasant surprise from Nikon, the first waterproof mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) is showcased here at the CES floor. It’s been announced back in September 2013 and now listed on their website for $799.95.

This 14MP digital camera has interchangeable lenses and comes with an 11-27.5mm kit (optional 10mm lens). It’s got the same features as the Nikon 1 J3 but with additional rugged features.

The Nikon 1 AW! is waterproof for up to 15 meters, shockproof up to 2 meters high and freezeproof to temperatures as low as -10°C.

Nikon has recently added another camera to its 1-series lineup, the AW1. But instead of a photographic upgrade, the imaging giant’s new mirrorless camera gains resistance against water and shock up to some extent, making it the world’s first underwater digital camera with interchangeable lens.

Specs-wise, the AW1 offers the same feature set of the non-rugged Nikon 1 J3; a 14MP CX-format CMOS sensor, an EXPEED 3A image sensor and 135-point contrast-detect AF areas plus 73-point phase-detect AF areas.

In addition to this, Nikon has also added other features that would definitely come in handy for outdoor shoots. This includes GPS, altimeter, depth gauge, electronic compass and horizon indicator. The camera also comes with a built-in Wi-Fi which is becoming a staple for these kinds of camera.
