Casio Exilim EX-FR100L
For mums who want to take creative photos of themselves with their kids
Taking a photo together with your mini when you are out alone with them can be a challenge. Most of the time you are limited to wefies. Well, not any longer with this offering from Casio.
The camera comes in two parts: a circular camera unit and a controller unit that can be joined together or used while separate from one another. When together, you can use it like a normal camera and with a few clicks it becomes the perfect selfie device. When apart you can place the camera at a distance and position your family for the perfect group shot by viewing the image with a controller that you hold in your hands. The camera is also dustproof and waterproof, making it perfect for beach vacations and creative pool shots.
What mummies will undoubtedly enjoy is the make-up art function that automatically smoothes out skin and adds pops of colour to your photo. There is also a long legs guide that shows you how to position yourself if you want to look like you have longer legs.
Transfer your images to your smartphone seamlessly via Bluetooth with the EXILIM Auto Transfer Function.

This camera boasts great functions for taking good shots of your kids with its creative shooting features. It also has a touch panel that flips downwards for you to easily frame a good shot, without any fingers getting in the way. However, it is the video functions that we are most impressed by. The clip functions allow you to combine the short clips that you take with the camera into a movie and you can add art filters and movie effects, as well as background music to make it more special. Video can also be taken with the camera screen flipped, giving you more options when you are trying to capture memories of your little ones.
