Casio Tryx Acts Like a Transformer, Snaps Pics and Vids Like a Boss

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 01:00:26 PST

We saw a ton of cameras at CES, but none that looked like the Casio Tryx. Made for the social set who like to take self-portraits with friends (you know who you are), this camera is easy to hold at just about any angle thanks to its swiveling and twisting body. Coming with a 12MP lens and full 1080p HD recording capabilities, this camera is lightweight and super sleek. Check out the details in the video below, but see it in all its movable glory in a behind-the-scenes video we posted on our Facebook page.

1 Night, 3 Ke$ha Outfits, Which Is Most Outrageous?

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:30:22 PDT

Ke$ha is no queen of subtlety - pile it on seems to be her philosophy. So it's no shock that the latest ensembles she wore to Casio's Shock the World 2010 event in NYC were all in-your-face. Still, pulling off three crazy outfits in one night must have taken a lot of work! The first outfit, a ripped-up Colt tee, is from the press conference. The second, a one-shouldered LBD and blue lipstick, she wore on the red carpet. And the third, shiny lace and fishnet tights and combat boots, she rocked while performing on stage. All signature Ke$ha, but which outfit is most outrageous?

Hayden Panettiere Plays Paparazzi at Coachella With Her Casio

GeekSugar — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 12:00:56 PDT

This weekend's Coachella music festival wraps up today down in Indio, CA, and in case you missed anything, Buzz and Fab have been covering all the music and fashion angles! However, musicians aren't the only ones who make their way to the desert every April - swarms of music-loving celebrities have made a habit of attending the festival, and this year Hayden Panettiere has brought along her Casio EX-FH20 to snap some pics of the action.

Hayden is no stranger to tech - she has been known to get her game (and game face) on from time to time - so it's not surprising that she's sporting the 9MP Casio that comes with 20x optical zoom to catch all her favorite bands on stage, even if she isn't sitting front row. Want to hear more about the camera? Then just keep reading.

Calculator Watch: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic ?

GeekSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:44:38 PDT

This Calculator Watch (on sale for $70!) is a replica of a retro Casio. It comes in three colors - blue, black, and white - and features a calculator, four alarms (one with snooze!), a stopwatch, and a calendar . . . not to mention it tells time.

I love its retro look - especially since there are so many geeky watches out there. What do you think, would you sport this style?

Beauty Byte: This Camera Will Do Your Makeup

BellaSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:01:02 PDT

I can think of many moments when the photo op was right, but my face was looking wrong. Like the treasured photo on Christmas morning 2006: Dark circles and puffy eyes masking the happiness of holding my mother's gift of a thong. (Not kidding.)

Well, look out Photoshop, Casio's got a new way to hide those imperfections. The soon-to-be-released Exilim Zoom EX-Z300 and the EX-Z250 come equipped with a special "makeup button." Yep, it's like having your own makeup artist with just a little click.

According to Tech-On!, this function can recognize facial features and adjust accordingly, covering dullness and blotchiness and reducing the appearance of shadows. Casio says it "makes the skin tone look softer and smoother, while covering annoying little wrinkles." While it can't actually do your mascara and lipstick, I'm all for a camera that boosts my complexion along with my ego.

Five Fresh Cameras Coming This Fall and Winter

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:00:16 PDT

I love how Summer is halfway over - bite my tongue, did I honestly just say that?! - yet there are all these bright and vivacious digital cameras making their debut. I guess Fall is the new Summer? Whatever it is, I'll take it, because the following five cameras are too irresistible not to consider for your Fall and Winter gadget line up.

If A Little Color Goes A Long Way, Where's The Variety?

GeekSugar — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:00:24 PDT

Note to designers and gadget manufacturers: Some of us are sick and tired of candy-colored MP3 players, cameras and cell phones.

Apple's announcement that the new iPod nano will come in silver, black, blue, green and red and the shuffle will come in silver, mint green, turquoise, lavender and magenta (those are my descriptions of the colors, not theirs!) got me thinking about the fact that almost all gadgets in the US are either staple colors like white, silver and black or bright - almost juvenile - hues of red, blue, pink and green.

Where, my friends, are all the fall colors like orange and yellow, or the muted, retro colors? I was scanning through a catalog for the Japanese mobile communication company KDDI and was floored by its amazing color selection for Toshiba, Panasonic and Casio phones. I'm not asking for a full array of pantone colored cell phones, I'd just like a little more variety. I know someone is spending millions of dollars on market research, but I just can't believe I am the only American who would prefer a "jewelry gold," "fresco orange" or "palmer brown" cell phone to sorbet colored ones?

The Shock and Water Resistant GzOne By Casio

GeekSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:00:38 PDT

Have you ever dropped your cell phone in a puddle or worse yet - in a toilet? Here's a phone that will not only withstand water, but will repel dust and absorb shock as well. The GzOne Type-S cell phone by Casio is a rugged clamshell style phone that can survive the harshest conditions. When I say harsh I mean five foot drops from any angle and some serious soaking.

Not only is it water resistant for up to half an hour in depths of one meter, but it is also resistant to humidity, salt fog and solar radiation, making it an extremely durable phone. The phone features a camera with flash, a speaker phone, an LED flashlight, stopwatch, voice activated dialing, VZ Navigator for GPS mapping and Bluetooth wireless technology which unfortunately doesn't support stereo audio.

As you can see in the pics below, I took the GzOne for a wet n' wild test drive and surprisingly, the phone worked perfectly in and out of the water! This model is priced at $200 with a two-year contract or purchase online and receive a $50 discount.
