FINALLY found it!
'It' being my new camera - the Casio EX-ZR1200.
This is one of Casio's newest models & I've had my eye on it for quite sometime.
Since Casio is a Japanese brand, asked my parents to help me get it when they went there on holiday around 2 months ago but it was sold out. It was also out of stock (in white color) as well in SG when I went to check recently. Didn't realize it was that popular!

Thankfully, this kind saleswoman remembered me & helped me reserve it in white as soon as it arrived in store! When I went to collect it, it was the only one left in that color.. Guess it was my lucky day :)
I already have a Canon DSLR and digital cameras from other brands.. However, the array of unique features on Casio's ZR1200 camera are what drew me to it.
- Some of the functions which stood out to me -
1) SIZE + WEIGHT

1) SIZE + WEIGHT
Lugging around a DSLR daily would be impractical & just plain tedious. So size + weight were definitely significant factors in determining my choice of camera.
Not only is the ZR1200 compact, it is considerably light as well!
2) MAKE-UP MODE
Of course, being a typical girl, this was definitely an attractive feature.
There are 12 levels of make-up so you can adjust it according to your preference.
Smoothes out your skin & gives it the "glowy" effect - just like makeup!

3) FLIP SCREEN
Another major bonus is that the ZR1200 has various functions that make it good for shooting selfies, one of which is its flip screen!
4) HAND SENSOR
Set your camera to sensor mode and with just a wave of your hand, it takes your picture automatically. Technology nowadays never ceases to amaze me..
5) BUILT-IN MINI TRIPOD
Another useful feature if you want to take a picture hands-free.
6) WI-FI FUNCTION
This camera is compatible with a wi-fi memory card.
Basically, the wi-fi function enables you to send pictures directly from your camera to your phone!
Personally, I find this way more efficient than having to plug a cable into your computer every time you want to upload a picture.
For all you instagram users out there, I'm sure you'll appreciate this feature ;)
I could go on about the various other features so here is a link to their website with all the listed specifications of this particular camera in detail:

Here are some pictures I took using this camera:
All pics are taken with make-up mode (level +12 - the highest level). Not wearing actual makeup apart from a thin layer of BB cream + no extra editing!
Casio also has a more compact camera made specifically for selfies - the TR350. However, the reason why I decided to get the ZR1200 instead was because I wanted a proper digital camera, not only to take selfies, but for when I travel, etc. Anyhow, with similar functions to the TR350, the TR1200 is still a great selfie camera + is significantly cheaper in price (the TR350 is over $1000).
Hope this mini review was somewhat helpful!

Trust the Japanese to come up with such awesome functions!
Really satisfied with my latest purchase.
No more grainy iPhone pictures from now on!
