Casio has realized that a ruggedized camera should look tough. Normally these kinds of shock-resistant, waterproof, dust-proof machines come in big, bubble-shaped, brightly colored cases.

This all houses a 12 megapixel sensor, a 2.5-inch screen, a 38-114mm (35 mm equivalent) zoom lens and an 848×480 movie-mode. It’s hard enough to withstand a man violence.
