Drop it from seven feet up, keep it under water for 60 minutes, let water freeze next to it; the new 12.1mp Casio Exilim G EX-G1 laughs it off. Dusting off the Exilim rectangle look, this new design is one of many that will fill in the adventure series says Casio. Available this December for $299, I expect to see this camera on a bunch of wish lists.
This new Casio is just .78″ thick, keeping it in the slender category. I am already appreciating the groove in the front to help with one hand operation while the large and well-spaced buttons on the back look perfect for gloved operation, nice when you are on the slopes. There is even an underwater bestshot setting, sweet.
One of my favorite features of the Exilim cameras is the super-easy instant video capture button. You can always find it, as they mark it red and you can see it on the G1 meaning videos are a snap. The camera even has a interval mode that will take stills or movies at predetermined intervals which would be handy when you are bombing down a ski run or on the trail.
