Casio EX-Z300, EX-Z19, EX-Z85 and EX-Z250 announced (Friday 22 August 2008)
The new range will consist of four new models with the 10-megapixel touting EX-Z300 topping the pile in terms of features and offering.
The new model will sport a ´Make-up´ mode that will work in a similar way to the cloning tool on Photoshop bluring out and smoothing over blemishes in-camera as you take the image.
´We believe we can differentiate our range in the compact market by offering unique features like this´, a spokesman for the company told Pocket-lint.
However Casio appears to be late to the game; Samsung has already launched a compact camera with a similar technology called Picture Perfect that works in a similar way and air-brushes images.
Beyond the ´Make-up´ mode, which can be turned off, the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z300 boasts 10.1-megapixels, a 3-inch LCD display and comes in three colours; black, silver and gold.
The other models in the range will be the EXILIM Card EX-Z19, a 9.3-megapixel model, the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z85, a small 9.1-megapixel digital camera, and the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z250, a 9.1-megapixel digital camera with similar features to the Z300.
All new EXILIM models have a video option, which lets users record H.264 movies at the touch of a button.
The new models will be available in September and prices will be £179.99 for the EX-Z100, £229.99 for the EX-Z300, £199.99 for the EX-Z250, £149.99 for the EX-Z85, and £129.99 for the EX-Z19.
