Among the latest Casio announcement made during last PMA was the presentation of 2 new Casio compact point and shoots with the Casio EX-G1, a ruggedized and waterproof 12.1Mpix Camera (Official announcement here) and the EX-10HG a 12.1Mpix Camera with a 10x optical Zoom and Hybrid-GPS including both your average GPS and accelerometer-based assistance when GPS signal is not available.

Another cool thing that I was anxious to see is the Casio Digital Art Frame scheduled to be released to the US market later this spring. Our 10.2” WSVGA picture frame sports 2GB of internal memory, a SD/SDHC slot, Wifi BG and a dedicated “Art” mode that will tweak your pictures with 7 different effects ranging from Sepia to a Paint effect.

As you will see in the picture gallery below, the Paint Effect if indeed quite nice and I personally like it. Casio also demonstrated some nice little usages of their digital frame when hung on a wall, displaying some kind of retro clock with one of your pictures in the background of a nice little calendar.
