Product Description
Casio's EX-G1 is designed with style and endurance to last the elements of the ages, and the lifestyle elements of endurance - shock, dirt, humidity, temperature, snow, water proof.With the EX-G1, users can take powerful time lapse photography, the kind which is usually almost impossible to capture. The shooting interval can be set at 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 3 minutes, and the capture time for movies may be set at 3, 10, 20, or 30 minutes, enabling users to get great shots when an event changes over time such as in nature, science, and even sports.

An improvement of Stylus March 16, 2010
W. Smith (Between here and there.)
We have been using an Olympus Stylus for a couple of years. Took this one on a snowboarding trip. Snapped about 400 photos, mostly outside. All but a few turned out beautiful. Sharp and detailed. Dropped, covered with snow and got wet.... kept going. Only thing I hate is the time taken with the microSD and the darn battery door. Other than that, very nice. 4 1/2 stars.
What you read is what you get March 13, 2010
M. Drab (Chicago, IL)
The EX-G1 is everything that the product overviews say that it is, nothing more. It looks and feels great, is smaller than I imagined, easy to use, etc. The picture quality is fine/fair/solid. Make sure that when you get this the digital zoom is a non-factor, because you cannot use it - the pictures become sooo grainy with even the slightest digital zoom. The nice thing is that you can take shots and zoom in later on your computer since you've got the quality of a 12.1 MP image.
I am very happy with the EX-G1 for the situations that I bought it for. I use a DSLR for almost all of my photos, but I wanted a compact camera to use when out with friends or hiking/mountain biking. The EX-G1 even threw in the ability to use when canoeing/boating/swimming so the outdoors uses are amazing as long as you arent trying to capture a HQ landscape shot.
The only other problem i have with the Casio EX-G1 at the moment (3/13/2010) is that I cannot find the Casio accessories that are listed on the G1's website. The lanyard/carabiner and the Casio float strap have been impossible to find anywhere online!
 Great little camera March 13, 2010
James H. Hooper (Charles Town, WV)
This is one cool camera. I have a Cannon that I carry with me all the time and a Nikon for more professional shoots. I bought this camera for its waterproof feature mainly. Since purchasing, I have walked in a blizzard and took pictures I normally would not have been able to take.
I Love the ability to take pictures/videos at intervals, this is the second reason I bought this camera.
I clamped this sweet little camera on top of my truck one day and forgot about it. I had it set to take picturs every 5 minuets until the card was full. It was also a very rainy days. I must amit...I got a lot of crappy pics...but, I also got some pretty cool shots.
To sum up, this camera is a good choice for getting shots you might not normally get...like walking into the ocean, or the rain/snow or even a dust storm.
Buy this camera and have some fun!
Great Camera! March 11, 2010
Edge12 (Asheville, NC)
I was looking for a rugged camera that I could have in my jersey pocket and have available anytime. It worked well for snow sports on a recent trip too. Solid images, but I have not delved too deeply into the functions yet.
If only it were JUST A LITTLE BETTER !!! March 10, 2010
Mary and Charles (COLORADO)
It's great having a 'real' camera (not a cellphone) that I can just have with me. I've got other cameras but they're just too clunky to have with me all the time.
Pictures are of SURPRISINGLY GOOD QUALITY for a camera of this size! Of course it does better outdoors than indoors with flash.
Battery compartment: you'll need better fingernails than mine. A ridiculous oversight.
Battery won't charge when hooked to PC. Not a major thing but it means removing the battery every time - not easy.
OVERALL: RECOMMENDED - Good for what it is - but Casio engineers dropped the ball on a couple of items that should've been easy to address.
