Nikon KeyMission 170 Camera Review

Limitations of Nikon's KeyMission 170 keeps it from reigning the action cam mountain.

4K video ; Dedicated photo and video buttons ; Easy menu system ; Electronic image stabilization ; Rugged, waterproof body

Auto-off can’t be disabled ; Limited number of video settings ; Few manual controls ; Stabilization not available in 4K

We are still puzzled by why Nikon decided to enter a crowded category like action cams, rather than investing in emerging tech. But if you’re going to do it, you should make big splash, right? Unfortunately, while the KeyMission 170 is a good product,...

Nikon KeyMission 170 Review

The Nikon KeyMission 170 is a new action camera, which features 4K UHD video recording, along with a 170 degree field of view lens. The camera is waterproof down to 10 metres (or 40 metres with the optional additional waterproof housing) and shockproof...

With a price point, and design, very similar to the GoPro Hero 5, it’s very clear who Nikon is targeting with the KeyMission 170.

Nikon 170 Review

If a 360 degree field of view isn't your thing, then the single lens Nikon KeyMission 170 might be more to your liking. The 8.3-megapixel camera has a 15mm equivalent f/2.8 Nikkor lens and can record 4K UHD video with a 170 degree field of view.

The Nikon KeyMission 170 (and its accessories) will be available in October 2016. The KeyMission 170 comes with a suggested retail price just under US$400.

We review the Nikon KeyMission 170 - Nikon's ultra-wide angle action camera with 4K video recording.

The nearest and most obvious competitor is the GoPro Hero5, and the Nikon KeyMission 170 is available for slightly less, however does not offer as many features and options as the Hero5, with a smaller screen, and shorter battery life. A benefit of the...
