Hello Kitty Casio EX-Z90 Camera
We briefed you about the Casio EX-Z90 a month or so ago, but that was just the standard boring version, right? Well, it seems that some folks think that adding Hello Kitty branding to any item is a sure way to create and winner, and that’s probably what happened to the Casio EX-Z90. The camera now comes in bright pink, and has a matching Hello Kitty branded case and strap. Pink Swarovski diamonds circle the outer lens, and there is also a rather noticeable ‘Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary’ label on the front. It’s up for preorder for $499. It’s amazing what a little pink cat can do to the price of a $128-150 camera.
