If you’re looking to introduce your child to the world of photography but don’t want them to ruin your expensive camera, Nikon might have something for you. The company has recently introduced a new camera in the form of the Nikon Coolpix W150 which is a digital compact camera that is kid-friendly.

By kid-friendly, we are talking about the overall design of the camera which offers bright and colorful designs to make them seem more interesting to children. They are also waterproof and shockproof which means that getting it wet and accidentally dropping it should not pose an issue with its operations.

As for the specs, it’s not the most impressive we’ve seen but it should be more than enough for kids and for day-to-day snaps. We’re looking at the use of a 13.2MP sensor, a 3x zoom NIKKOR lens, target finding AF features, and also the ability to record Full HD videos with stereo sound. There are also a variety of scene modes that users can choose from, as well as in-camera editing functions.

Unfortunately, Nikon has yet to confirm the pricing and availability of the Nikon COOLPIX W150, but given its specs and features, it shouldn’t be too expensive.
