Casio is rolling out an exciting ‘make-up’ feature in its new Exilim Zoom Z300 and Z250 cameras that is bound to be a big hit with the beauty obsessed consumers. The feature offers built in automatic photoshopping “makeup function to beautifully capture people’s faces.” No need to use photoshop anymore, simply set the make-up level (from 0 to 12) and you are ready to be on the cover of a magazine.

So what can you expect from using this function? Thanks to a processor dedicated to image processing (in addition to the standard processor), you will be able to instantly make the skin tone look softer and smoother, cover wrinkles and have an assortment of photoshopic functions applied, resulting in skin that looks “clearer, younger and more natural in the pictures.”

Casio believes that this make-up function will be so popular that they added a dedicated button to the EX-Z300 to easily acess this function.

Both the Exilim Zoom EX-Z300 (10.1 Megapixels) and the EX-Z250 (9.1 Megapixels) are launching on August 29.

This is the steampunk styled Casio G-Shock G8100A-5 Watch, priced at $100. Bronze in color and features standard shock-resistant, auto backlights with afterglow world time with 29 time zones (48 cities), countdown timer, two multi-function alarms (with one snooze alarm), and an auto calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099, yeah by that time you are going to give it to your grandchildren). The watch is housed in an aluminum case with perforated resin band. Go G-shock site and get one.
