Digital Home Thoughts: Casio Offers the Rugged and Stylish EX-G1

"Casio America, Inc. announced today the release of the EX-G1 shock-resistant, waterproof, dustproof digital camera—the first in the company’s new EXILIM® G brand of digital cameras. With its smart design featuring functional beauty, the EX-G1 embodies Casio’s endurance-minded features and specifications in a sleek 0.78-inch low-profile camera. The EX-G1 is designed with shock-resistant elements throughout the camera, both inside and out, creating a smart look in a slim-line camera with functional beauty. In addition to capturing high-resolution 12.1 effective megapixel images, the EX-G1 also features modes such as interval shooting and multi-image capture which utilize the camera’s endurance qualities."

I love the styling on this one. Even though I'm usually pretty careful with my camera, my next camera purchase will most likely be a ruggedized point and shoot. This one just moved to the top of the shopping list. Should be available now with an MSRP of $299.
