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."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1259622256.usr10.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></em></p><p>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.</p><p><em></em></p>
