I know i know. I never thought a camera could be such a craze until people have to line up for it. Anyway everyone knows about Casio TR15 and those who don’t would want one, baaaadly (yes i have one myself!).
But today i’m introducing another camera from Casio, which is EXILIM ZR1200. At half the price of a TR15, i was super amazed by what it can do!!
It is available in pink, yellow, black and white. And i got the one in pink!
I’ll just let the photos do the talking. I brought my pink ZR1200 to Japan, and i was so so so glad i did because here are the amazing photos i took.
(None of the photos here are edited, except the filter functions in the camera itself, so you can see how it is like, 原汁原味!)
Here are some of the important features:
Wide Angle Lens
For selfies, the most important thing is wide angle! The mirror is about just 3 feet away from me but i managed to capture the whole body! Perfect for #ootd shots!
Flip screen
And what is a camera without flip-screen! It has a tilt display from 0 to 180 degree, so you can use it for low angle/high angle or waist level shooting. And of course, endless selfiessssss.
Skin Brightening
Of course the next level of taking selfies is skin enhancing. Needless to say you all know important it is. (The scary thing is, once you have used cameras with skin filters, you will never ever go back to normal cameras again :X. So buy it at your own risk lol.)
So the make up mode comes with Skin Brightening from level 0 to 12. 0 being zero filter and 12 being the brightest/smoothest.
I’m demonstrating level 0, 6 and 12 respectively. (Not Gwiyomi.)
I usually use level 6 cuz 12 is a little too over. Ok la so now you know why my skin looks so nice liao. My skin care is called Casio ZR1200 haih.
Taken with level 6 make up mode. No other filter!
Outdoor shot with skin brightening.
Powerful Anti Shake
You know how you yourself are forever your own best photographer in the world, (hence the five thousand selfies on your instagram. Daily.) and you never trust anyone else to take photos for you because 9 out of 10 end up blur??
This picture is taken under dim light, at a party, probably by a tipsy friend.
Even with slow shutter speed, dark scene, or shaky hands, it is still super clear. Super impressive!
HDR-ART
As good as it sounds, ZR1200 also comes with so many filters i am spoilt for choice. One of my favorite is HDR-ART.
You can instantly transform any boring pictures into million-dollar art paintings without any editing. The best thing is, it also saves the original pictures in case you want to keep it.
Original
This is taken at Omotesando, Tokyo. It’s my favorite place because it’s so quaint and classy and a little hipster. I love this picture enough already.
HDR-ART EXTRA 2
Check. this. out.
(I love super dramatic effects. I mean, either don’t or go full out!! But if you prefer a more natural effect, there are 5 levels for you to adjust too.)
One more!
Original
A little cafe at Omotesando also. I can walk forever along Omotesando and not get bored.
HDR-ART EXTRA 2
I should print this and sell as art.
Another one using the same filter.
Other Filters
Under ART and BEST SHOT mode, there are many other cool filters. I’ll just show you some sample pictures.
Fish Eye Mode.
Little Champon ♡
Flower mode.
Close up of skaura ♡
Children Mode.
Little Himari chan. Sooooo cute!
Light Tone Mode.
This is taken at Q-Pot cafe. It’s a little dreamy, washed out, perfect for that artsy ambience.
Blurred Background Mode.
Perfect for food shots. Our little sakura macaron and tea set!
Soft Focus Mode.
Sakura at Yoyogi Park. So romantic, so dreamy.
Sunset Mode.
Took this during sunset and it was one of the most liked pictures on my Instagram.
HS Night Scene Mode.
Took this at Disneysea. Turns out incredibly clear under low light!
More HDR-ART at Disney.
So magical!!!
HAHAHA probably not the best way to use HDR-ART but i am sooooo addicted to it!!!
Ok that is all!! There are actually more awesome functions about this camera, but it’s getting too long so i’ll cover it in my next post.
And that’s not the best part.
HOW ABOUT PRICE?????
You won’t believe it.
RM1499 plus free Toshiba Flash Air WiFi Card.
(Yes this camera is without WiFi but with a WiFi card it works exactly the same.)

That is really amazing for a pocket camera! Love the wide angle lens and the artsy filters! I always cary my big heavy camera around when I’m traveling, but this one would do almost just as good of a job! nnThe Beauty Suitcase n
Hi Cheesie,nnDo you mind to compare between this and a tr camera you owned? Which one do you think is worth the money or take better selfie? 😀
I know which camera I’m getting when I replace my current camera! :DnnI’m in the UK but I’ve found websites which ship it to the UK which is good for me. I know you’re like a pro though at photography (all your pics always look so nice!) so would somebody who isn’t so experienced still be able to produce lovely photos? I’m thinking selfies in particular btw, lol!
IKR! i bought my NEX F3 because Cheesie post about it! LOL
mannnn looks like such a nice camera ! I really want! nlove all the filters too!nxonwww.hitomiblog.com

Yes! I love my nex F3! And it’s pink!! Lol!!!
Haha cannot compare DSLR la two different world
Yea I love it!! Wait till my next post

Having said that ZR1200 is like HALF THE PRICE so for those with tight budget I think it’s super value! But I also still love the TR OMG

Hahaha! Maybe! Anyway, hope to see little H soon! ^_^

Is ZR1100 and ZR1200 the same thing?
Cheesieeeee! You make me wanna buy this camera so badlyyyy.nCompared to the Casio TR15/TR350, which is better? I want it sooo bad but the price is sooo not worth for just taking selfies wtf. nBtw, you’re such a big big big inspiration for me! I love Japan as much as you do! (Ok la, maybe you more) I’ve started a new blog can you take a peek ? >.< I’d be very happy!!!nhachidiane.blogspot.com

Is it possible to take videos with sound with this camera?
Wow the camera looks amazing ! Its so much more affordable than the tr150/35. Do you know any reliable/trustworthy site that sells this camera online and ships worldwide ?
