Casio Exilim EX-G1

ConclusionPentax W80 Comparison
The Casio is the tougher of these two camera, handling diving to depths of 33 feet and being dropped from about 6 feet (the Pentax can handle only 16 feet of water and about 3 foot drops). both cameras can handle equally cold temperatures, though: down to 14ºF (about -10ºC).
We found that the two cameras were mostly equally matched in terms of performance: they had similar color performance, but the W80 produced sharper images. However, it also had much more noise in the images, as the Pentax seems to be doing less to remove the noise. Both cameras were also similar in terms of video performance, producing video that lacked clarity and had weak color.
