It looks like the day has finally come, an adventure, outdoor camera with interchangeable lenses and RAW file format! Are you kidding me? Nope - according to Nikon, it's on the way. The Nikon 1 AW1 is the first waterproof, dustproof, freeze rated, interchangeable lens digital camera ever made. I'm excited. I've been waiting for this camera for a long time!

I'm not much of a gadget or gear junky. I'm more likely to make my camera work than I am to run out and buy the next greatest thing, but in this case, my name is on the list, I'm buying one of these babies! Said to be available in October!

I'm going to use this camera for hunting photography, for rafting, boating, riding horseback, hiking, climbing, camping, when it rains, and snows and you name it . . . The time has finally come, i just hope it lives up to the legendary quality of the Nikon brand!

I'll fill you all in when it arrives . . .

You can read more about the new Nikon 1 AW1 on the Nikon web site, or at Photoclique.com . . .
