Casio's not always the first name you think of when you're shopping for a digital camera, but occasionally the company comes up with a neat feature that might have you reconsidering that Nikon or Canon.

After the Royal Air Force gave G-Shock the skinny on the various functions it needs from a watch, the "Gravity Defier" GW-A1000RAF-1AER was born. We sat down with Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones to discuss his involvement on the project, and find out why he deemed compasses, torches and locator beacons surplus to an RAF pilot's requirements.

To show off its G-Shock G9300 Mudman, Casio sent Cameron Zink and Kyle Strait to Virgin, Utah where they proceed to flip out on camera like you won't believe.
