The Casio Exilim C721 The Military Approved Consumer Cell Phone

By Allen F. Baker

There aren't many phones specifically designed to withstand extreme conditions. Phones are made of better and more durable material but they are just as delicate is ever. For some a phone made to last may be a little excessive but for anyone who lives a very active lifestyle might need a phone that is very durable. The Casio Exilim C721 is a phone built to last. Casio is known for its digital cameras. The G'zOne series of phones were released by Casio as well. The G'zOne phones were military tested and are extremely rugged. For its next addition to the cell phone world Casio combined the ruggedness of the G'zOne series of phones with their digital cameras, thus creating the Casio Exilim C721. This phone features a camera that takes photos, a durable casing, and even web browsing.

While the previous installments of G'zOne phones were durable they weren't much to look at. The Exilim not only improves on its durability it also improve on its design as well. The phone has a sleek modern feel which will appeal to the masses. The Exilim is military tested and passes the MIL-STD 810F code which means the phone would be functional even when it is completely submerged in water. One can even take photos underwater (a feature that many divers could use regularly). The phone can also withstand rain, dust, salt, extreme humidity, snow, and even solar radiation and still be functional.

One of the features found on this phone is its 5.1-megapixel camera. The camera found on this phone functions as well as most point and shoots. The camera works well with the phones design. The flip compartment is able to completely rotate turning the screen into a camera view finder. You can use the view finder for self portraits or flip it back down and use it as a more traditional camera view finder. Most camera phones offer only 3 different settings for resolution. But on the Exilim there are 7 different settings. The camera also features a 16x digital zoom, image stabilizer, auto focus, and a bright LED flash. The phone also features various modes for taking pictures in various locations and situations. The mode titles are self explanatory like Person, Scenery, Night View, Food, Character, Party, etc. The phone can also record video. The video quality is good and the image stabilizer works well and leaves your video free of jerky movements.

Also available on the Exilim is a full HTML web browser. The web browser worked quite well and websites appeared clear on the screen. The screen on the phone is rather small but one is able to zoom in and out during web browsing for a better view of the websites. Full HTML web browsing is usually reserved for phones with bigger screens.

The Casio Exilim C721 has many features. With its numerous capabilities the Exilim the phone is a more expensive than many phones on the market. But most of the things featured on this phone cant be found on any other device. - 22787
