ubergizmo‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Casio Exilim EX-G1 is not a camera for serious photographers – and it isn’t meant to be. It’s a point-and-shoot for having fun, mostly outdoors, mostly under conditions where you don’t want to carry a serious camera with you: when you go rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing, swimming, surfing, roller blading – all those situations when you may have always wished you had a camera, but you didn’t want to bring one because the risk of damage was too high.

Extremely compact for a rugged, waterproof camera, but in virtually all other respects, it’s a disappointment.

With the EX-G1 Casio can target not only adventure/outdoor types who might need a small and light camera with survivability in adverse conditions, but also Joe Average who can take it to Disneyland on a rainy day and not have to worry about Splash Mountain soaking its circuits. This camera is slim and trim, well built and simple to operate - auto shooting modes are all there is. At the same time, Casio has built a lot of adjustability into the default auto mode, and offers a fair amount of input into the specific scene modes as well.

So, the Exilim G likely won't win over any professionals or would-be professionals looking for a compact camera to complement their DSLR, but we can't help but be a bit charmed by it. Its combination of slimness and ruggedness makes it more "grabbable" than most cameras and, in the old sense that the best camera is the one you have with you, that's not an insignificant consideration.

All in all, the Casio Exilim EX-G1 is not the best camera if you're looking to snap breathtaking, wall-size photos of the great outdoors. But if you simply want to tote something to get quick shots on your next mountain-biking/white-water rafting/rock-climbing trip, it's sturdy enough to withstand the journey.

The Casio Exilim G EX-G1 offers a ruggedized build in a surprisingly slim, compact body, but image quality isn't this shooter's strong suit.

The EX-G1 is my pick for this roundup. It’s more compact than the others, takes great pictures, has some handy extra features, and it’s cool-looking to boot. The lack of HD video may be a deal-breaker for some, but those who can see past the numbers will know that the quality of the 720p on cameras like this is no great shakes, and 848×480 is sufficient for scuba diving videos.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Casio EX-G1 joins a number of other rugged snapshot cameras on the market with its shockproof, waterproof, dustproof, and freezeproof body. From previous experience, none of these "4-proof" (a term borrowed from Fujifilm) cameras deliver outstanding image quality and the same is true for the Casio EX-G1. Although its images aren't outstanding, in most cases they are well-exposed and, despite some softness, look good printed--particularly for snapshot sized prints.

Despite its unconventional appearance the Exilim EX-G1 is actually a very competent adventure camera with class-leading shock protection. It's a bit light on advanced features and the performance could be better, but it is easy to use and the image quality is much better than expected.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit Like Unlike

We had fun using the EX-G1 and while we admired its looks, we found that occasionally practicality had been sacrificed to achieve the esoteric design. Adrenaline junkies may be prepared to pay the premium for the Casio Exilim EX-G1 and be happy with slightly fuzzy snaps to recall their exploits, but photo enthusiasts wanting images pin sharp and properly exposed for the wall, portfolio or family album have cause to look elsewhere.

Casio's Exilim camera range, like its digital watches, has always valued style as highly as actual substance. And here, with the EX-G1, the manufacturer is in danger of leaning too heavily toward the former at the latter's expense.

The Casio Exilim EX-G1 is a good snapshot camera built to take a beating, but its photos and shooting features are nothing special.

The Casio Exlim EX-G1 was fun to test, how often do you get to drop a camera? It was tough and did its job with attitude. In the end it has shown itself worthy.
