Casio Exilim EX-G1, the "toughest camera" from Casio has been launched in the US. The Casio Exilim EX-G1 doesn't compromise its looks for the sake of ruggedness, and comes across as a stylish camera, on the lines of the Casio G-Shock series of digital watches and the GZone mobile phone from Casio. The 12-megapixel digital Casio Exilim EX-G1 will be available in the US from December at a price of $299. (See Casio Exilim EX G1 photos alongside)
