Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix L120 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W730 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
