Test: Einzeltest: Casio EX-G1
Zitat: 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, mounta
in 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. In the U.S., at least, Casio’s little pixel juggler is cheap enough to make it a viable option as a secondary camera that comes handy under tough conditions. The picture quality could certainly be better, but while the images are not flawless, they’re better than being left with only fading memories. And with the underwater option you’re free to play with the elements to produce stunning effects in a way that no SLR permits, unless you spend a lot of money on a waterproof case.
