The new Casio EX-G1 will be one of the thinnest rugged cameras around, claimed to be waterproof down to 10 feet.
Casio announced today the upcoming release of the Casio EX-G1 shock-resistant, waterproof and dustproof digital camera - the first in the company's new Exilim G brand of digital cameras. Despite its rugged body, the Casio EX-G1 is only 0.78-inch thick.
The Casio EX-G1 features a two-layer construction with a stainless steel outer-casing, and the inner body withstands shock and water damage. The camera's design is constructed with a resin cover to protect the body side near the shutter and a resin lens ring to protect the lens. Casio claims that the EX-G1 can be used at depths at 10 feet for 60 continuous minutes.
In addition to capturing 12-megapixel images, the EX-G1 also features modes such as interval shooting and multi-image capture which utilize the camera's endurance qualities. The interval shooting function can automatically take still photos or movies at fixed intervals. Check out the complete specifications here.
The Casio EX-G1 will be available in December 2009 with an MSRP of $300. Color options include black and red.
