 |  Nikon Coolpix AW120 Review  Nikon's new "Lifeproof" point-n-shoot model, the Coolpix AW120, is basically a repackaging of the AW110 from last year. The internals and features are the same with the camera sporting a 16-Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor, tons of automatic shooting features, built-in flash and LED focusing/video light, WiFi, GPS and a fantastic and easy to see 3.0-inch LCD screen. The one major difference that we were able to find is actually not that big. They have adjusted their 5x optical zoom lens to cover a 35mm equivalent of 24-120mm instead of the 28-140mm featured on the AW110. Making this camera "Lifeproof" is its ability to withstand the punishment of everyday life. It can be submerged and operated underwater down to depths of 18M/59ft. This allows it to survive more than just a dip in the backyard pool, but it can be taken on a diving trip in a tropical location without worry. Along with being waterproof, it is also dustproof, so there are no weather conditions that you have to worry about. Its solid construction also allows it to be dropped and survive from up to 2M/6.6ft, which means you do not have to keep a secure grip on the camera at all times. You can even pass it along to the kids to have fun with. Finally, it has been designed to operate in the extreme cold, working in temperatures as low as 14°F, meaning it can go from the surf to the slopes at any time. The camera performed well with all of our tests except for... Continue Reading |

This model focuses on simplicity, with LG noting that, "Simple is the New Smart". Some of the G3's core specs include a 5.5-inch Quad HD display with a whopping 538ppi resolution, a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 3000mAh battery. It doesn't look like they changed much with the camera, as the G3 features the same 13-megapixel sensor and lens combo we saw on the LG G2, however they've added their new "Laser Auto Focus". This new AF system uses a laser beam to measure the distance to the subject, which they claim will help eliminate fuzzy photos. Like the G2, the G3 also features...
