Nikon Remembers Its Coolpix W150
14 August 2019
In April Nikon announced its ruggedized Coolpix W150, designed to be kid-proof on vacation with "flower" and "resort" body option. But the company didn't mention either price or availability for the 13.2-megapixel digicam.
Nikon W150. Available in five colors -- as long as you like white..
And then Nikon forgot all about it.
May came and went. June. July. And now with August half gone and Back to School sales starting, the company has finally gotten back to business, announcing the W150 is now available for pre-order for $169.95.
We'd say it missed the boat but we aren't generally given to editorializing.
If you were hankering for the W150, you can pre-order it for September delivery from B&H. Just in white (for the U.S.), anyway.
The color guy at Nikon must still be on vacation.
