Casio Exilim EX-G1 Full Review

While Casio has been in the consumer electronics business since the company was founded in 1957, their first Exilim digital camera reached market fairly recently in 2002. Expanding upon their "card", "zoom" and "high speed" camera product lines, the company has recently introduced the "G" or "endurance" line with the EX-G1 compact digital. The G1, billed as the world's slimmest shock-resistant digital camera, builds upon Casio's earlier forays into durable products with watches and mobile phones.

The G1 features a 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3 inch CCD sensor and 3x optical zoom lens covering the 38 to 114mm focal range (35mm film equivalent). Here's what that range looks like:

There are 35.7 megabytes of internal memory and the camera can also make use of micro SD/SDHC memory media. ISO sensitivity ranges from 64 to 3200 and the camera incorporates Casio's anti shake feature to promote sharper images. There is face detection technology, make-up and landscape settings and one button transition to movie capture - image composition and capture is accomplished via a 2.5 inch LCD monitor. Casio includes a battery and charger, A/V and USB cables, printed Quick Start guide, CD-ROM software, wrist strap and two optional user-installed protectors for the camera side to help deter impact damage.

If you're thinking all these specs sound relatively tame and not unlike a lot of other products on the market, you'd be right. The G1 is notable not for what it can do, but for the conditions under which it can do it. Dustproof and waterproof to depths of 10 feet for up to 1 hour. Shock resistant to falls of up to 7 feet. Freezeproof to temperatures as low as 14 degrees F (-10 degrees C). Is the G1 the toughest compact digital on the planet? Maybe, but surviving in harsh conditions is only part of the equation - how does the camera do in the image quality department? Come along and find out.

BUILD AND DESIGN
Casio has incorporated a two layer construction for the G1 body to provide the waterproofing, shock and cold resistance that are the major reasons to pick up a G1 in the first place. A stainless steel outer casing is adorned with a polycarbonate cover near the shutter to absorb impacts in that region. Two different types of detachable protectors may be user installed on the opposite body side for additional protection.
