I wrote about the Nikon AW100 around the beginning of the year but have just now had the chance to really use it underwater so here is an update.
We just returned from a peaceful vacation in the Caribbean. We stayed in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, close to Grace Bay Beach. How close? It was about 3/10's of a mile walk from our front door to the water. Much less expensive than staying on the beach with no excuse for not getting in the ocean every day.

Today I enjoyed some fishing with a new AW100 in my pocket. I only had a few chances to take pictures and one or two movie clips but so far I am impressed. It will take more time to determine if this camera is good enough to be the one and only camera on a vacation where I don't want to lug around the DSLR and lenses. I know I'll miss a longer reaching zoom as well as the width of the 10mm end of the 10-24mm zoon on the D7000 but enough to want to carry the big kit? Probably not. So then it becomes a question of picture quality and whether I can live with not much manual control.
