Casio has announced a selection of new cameras, which are designed to appeal to women. Â With a wide range of colors, Â textured finishes and buttons that can be pressed even if you have long nails, the new Casio line is carving a niche to the woman persuasion.
The designed-for-women cameras include the Casio EXILIM EX-JE10, a 16-megapixel camera, which comes with a matching jacket and shoulder-strap, and the EX-N10, a small compact that has a finish said to resemble a manicure.
The Casio EXILIM EX-JE10 features a 1/2.3-inch 16.1-megapixel CCD sensor, a 26mm wide-angle lens with a 5x optical zoom (that’s a 35mm equivalent of 26-130 mm) and the ability to shoot 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. Â Some of the other features include menu colors that are coordinated with the body color (the camera is available in white, pink and black), buttons and a joystick that can apparently be easily operated even with long nails, and a “Make-up Function” that Casio says is for “making people’s faces look their beautiful best.”
The Casio EX-N10 again offers a 16.1-megapixel sensor and a 26mm wide-angle lens with a 5x optical zoom, though this time female-friendly credentials include a transparent case over the front of the camera, which has a quilted appearance, creating an effect which is said to resemble a manicure.
Available the end of August in Pink Sapphire, Topaz and Black Onyx, and for a price of €99 (around US$125) the EX-N10 also includes the Make-up Function and is described by Casio as a camera which could be carried as an accessory.
