If you’re not familiar with Casio FR100 to begin with, it’s a multi-functional detachable camera, which seamed into your daily lifestyle. Regardless of what activities you are doing, be it paragliding, canoeing, hiking (I’ve done all these with Casio FR100 previously), it has the ability to capture all your adventures through photos and videos, or even a mix of it.

Having review Casio FR100 previously, the Casio FR100L no doubt is meant for ladies, especially petite ones. Why? The reason lies with the improved features. Standing at 152cm, the long legs guide feature got me excited. While we know the tricks to get longer and slimmer legs is to shoot from a lower angle, it is not as flattering at times especially if you have a rounder face. Speaking about “dummy-proof”? Simply align the long leg guide features and you get the 170cm longer and slimmer legs.

While most of us are familiar with Casio TR series cameras and their remarkable make-up mode(you can even see strands of hair, instead of lumps), even though Casio FR100 has adopted the make-up mode, but it is not as comprehensive as Casio FR100L. With the new inclusion of two Make-up Art modes for the latter– Make-up HDR and Make-up Vivid, you get to take quality selfies anytime, anywhere.

While all Casio cameras make-up mode allows user to set the skin smoothness and skin tone, with Casio FR100L’s Make-up HDR, it enhances your image with the surrounding, creating a stronger contrast between sceneries and selfies. As for Make-up Vivid, apart from maintaining a smooth skin, it also creates a vibrant backdrop, which makes it more social media worthy.

Improved convenience

While travels has become affordable these days (thanks to budget airlines, Airbnb, travel app deals etc,.), having a camera to document your journey has become a thing that one have to bring along on every trip. Indeed, our phone cameras are not too bad to begin with. The question is, can we remotely control our camera while standing at a distance to take a picture? Can we be assured that the moment we turn out head away from our phone, someone will not pick it up and walk away with it? (There goes your contacts, pictures, login information, or even credit card details)

Now, Casio FR100L’s detachable camera lens comes in handy. Be it taking a picture with Mount Fuji or the iconic Taipei 101 during your travels (we know our arms’ length limit and our faces would be right smack in the picture, making us look enormous beside the landmarks if we are going for a phone selfie), you could easily place the camera lens on the ground, and step out with the LCD screen which act as the remote control. The Make-up HDR also comes in handy in situation like this! Without having to compromise your image beauty, and building the contrast with the landmarks, it solved the problem of using features improvement apps.

Having mentioned some of the functions that sounds like something Meitu xiu xiu can achieve as well, you will be glad to know, these settings can be saved and preset, which saves you the trouble from altering your skin smoothness, removing visible blemishes and changing your skin tone. Users can transfer images from the camera to their phone via Bluetooth or wifi, using the EXILIM Connect app, and upload it to their social media feeds almost immediately. With that, it gives you more time to be exploring a new city, heading out for a new adventure, or simply head outdoor and have fun.

Hate outdoors? Attach the camera lens to a higher platform and take your flat lay pictures. Be it at the café, bar, or even at home. It eliminates the problem of casting your shadow on, or raising your hands up high and can’t even see what you are shooting.

Regardless of which kind of lifestyle you prefer, you will still find convenience in Casio FR100L.

Casio FR100L is available in White and Pink, retailing at $699.
