New Cameras Make You Look 10 Pounds Lighter

March 13th, 2006

According to a recent New York Times article, camera makers are beginning to add presets to their cameras that make those in the picture look ten pounds lighter.

“The Canon PowerShot 80, for example, has 21 modes, including settings for shots of foliage and fireworks, as well as for pictures taken in the snow or at the beach. Nikon has cameras with modes set for shooting document text or museum objects. Hewlett-Packard has a mode on its new R-series that it says removes the 10 pounds a camera is said to add. And Casio will sell three models in April with an eBay mode that sets up the camera to take shots that can be easily uploaded to the online auction site.”

So far, only camera maker Hewlett-Packard has added this setting to their digital cameras. However, as the camera market becomes more diluted, it is predicted that manufacturers will seek to differentiate thier products by adding more weight loss presets.
