Camera falls victim to Hello Kitty

Mike Yamamoto, CNET.com | Sep 13, 2007

Usually the gadgets we see that have been conquered by the Sanrio empire are of dubious quality, though that obviously matters not to its loyal subjects. But Hello Kitty Hell, the spiritual leader of The Resistance, has come across a new item that has gotten some early nods from a few consumers.

Fujifilm's FinePix Z5 which has received a few high marks in reader reviews, is the latest victim of Hello Kitty subjugation, festooned with Swarovski crystals, a gold emblem and, of course, the trademark Pepto-Bismol pink. All this for US$500 on the Japanese market.

This is clearly a step up from the last Kitty-cam we saw. Our guess is that the empire needed new cameras to record our demise.

It doesn't look very impressive to me. The camera looks more like a standard digital cam with a Hello Kitty image stuck on the middle. It will be alot more impressive and desirable if the entire camera has the Hello Kitty theme or is encrusted with crystals. Or best. Shaped like a Hello Kitty head.
