Today, Casio trotted out what they’re calling the thinnest ruggedized digital camera, the EX-G1. And at .78-inches I might have to agree, although I didn’t really do any comparison, but it does sound thin for being shock-resistant, freezeproof, dustproof and waterproof. And as you’ve probably noticed the styling bites off of their G-Shock line of phones.
Spec wise were talking a 12.1 megapixel sensor, 848×480 movide mode, microSD card slot, 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD and Advanced Dynamic Photo function. There’s a bit more details on just how rugged the EX-G1 is after the ‘leap’.
You can expect the EX-G1 to arrive sometime December for $299.99 – it will also come in black.

Small, powerful and portable probably best describe the Olympus EP-2 PEN Camera, the follow up to the EP-1 which launched earlier this year.
For the most part the micro four thirds 12 megapixel DSLR remains the same as the first iteration, but this time around Olympus has added a few additional features such as an all black body and a detachable VF-2 Electronic View Finder that enhances dark scenes and allows you to view the camera’s viewfinder from a variety of angles. And despite the small upgrades, Olympus has seen fit to tack on an additional $300 to the price tag when it launches sometime in early December
