Any camera is capable of taking a selfie, although for some reason Casio has decided that we actually need dedicated cameras to help us do that. Not too long ago the company announced the oddly expensive EX-TR50 and if you thought that was a bit ridiculously priced for a selfie camera, Casio has recently announced the “Kawaii Selfie by Mirror Camera” which is also known as the Exilim MR1.
Priced at $330, we have to say that it is still a tad expensive for a limited use camera, but at the same time cheaper than its big brother the EX-TR50. It will feature a 14MP sensor and a huge mirror in the middle of the camera that will help you adjust your hair and strike up a pose before snapping that selfie.
If you were hoping to use the camera for anything else, it might be hard as the default aperture is set at f/5.0 which is admittedly a bit slow for action shots or anything involving low-light. The camera will also come bundled with software that allows the photographer to enhance their selfies like smoothening out their skin tone.
The camera will also come with built-in WiFi, video recording and playback, and will support microSDXC cards. It also comes with a small-ish 700mAh battery which should allow about 230 still images or about 35 minutes worth of Full HD video. So, any takers?

Tommy Hilfiger is a brand known for their clothing, but it looks like they are trying to merge both fashion and technology into one. The company has recently teamed up with solar manufacturer Pvilion and have launched a pair of jackets, one for men and one for women, that will come with solar panels installed in the jackets that will allow users to charge their phone as they go about their daily business.
From the front (pictured above) the jackets look quite normal and sport a tartan design. However once you look behind (see photo below), the solar panels are quite obvious. We can’t say we’re digging that look at it does look a little odd, but hey if you’re all about going green and want to take advantage of the sun, no one’s stopping you.
There will be a built-in battery connected to the solar panels and when fully charged, it should allow users to recharge 1,500mAh devices up to four times, so safe to say there will be a lot of juice. However they did not mention how long it will take to fully charge the battery via the sun, so your mileage might vary.
The jackets are a tad pricey at $599 and it should be noted that they are limited edition models, so if you want to get your hands on them, you can do so via Tommy Hilfiger’s website (men / women). 50% of the proceeds are also expected to go towards the Fresh Air Fund.
