The Coolpix series includes superzoom, bridge, travel-zoom, miniature compact, and waterproof/rugged cameras. Nikon Coolpix cameras are organized into five different model lines. A camera’s line is indicated by the first letter in the camera’s model name. Coolpix cameras include the A series, the AW (all weather) series, the L (life) series, the P (performance) series, and the S (style) series. Nikon’s “all-weather” Coolpix camera is designed to be waterproof up to 100 meters, freezeproof, and shockproof.
