Nothing you can't do in PS in 2 seconds.  Looks so stupid.

Oh for crying out loud.  This has to be the dumbest feature that I have ever seen on a camera, but you know that the public is gonna gobble 'em up.  I imagine that the % of people that actually PP shots taken with a digital camera is less than 10% (just take a look at the running stream of recent uploads on Flickr, eek), take away the SLR owners and that number probably drops to below 5%.

Not really that dumb.

For instance, my mum just about can take a picture on my compact camera.  She'd love a feature like this when she goes out with her mates!  She wouldn't be able to manage that adjustment in photoshop (too many variables) but she'd be able to do a simple adjustment on a camera!

Just can't stick to that diet?

Don't stress about it. Stay cool.

You can gaze at yourself, lovely and sylph-like in the photo-frame, as you tuck into another Monsterburger with triple fries.

Oh man this is so cheap.
Nobody noticed the after picture is actually the before picture?
Now who . would want a feature like this?
Yeah sure, you can slim your body but you will get a conehead in return!

LOL exactly.  The people that want to buy this camera for this feature - they need to go to the carnival and stand in front of the fun house mirrors.   ;D
