Pentax W80 ComparisonCasio EX-G1 Comparison
If you want a camera that is going to easily fit into a shirt pocket or small hand bag, the Casio EX-G1 is the obvious choice between these two. At just 0.78 inches thick, it is much thinner than the TS2, and looks a lot more stylish. But being good looking doesn’t mean you take good photos, and the TS2 proved to be the superior performer in our tests of image quality, taking photos with better color, lower noise and more detail. the TS2 also has a slightly longer 4.6x zoom lens (the Casio has a 3x) which also has a bigger wide angle: 28mm on the TS2, but 38mm on the Casio G1. That means you can get more into a shot, which is especially useful on an underwater camera where you have to get close to the subject to take a shot. Although the Casio looks more fragile, both cameras are equally robust, handling up to 33 feet of water and drop from around 6 feet.
