Olympus has introduced a trio of compact digital cameras, which have some solid specs but are definitely designed to appeal to a more fashion-conscious crowd.

All of the point-and-shoots mentioned here boast simple designs but several color options. Each model also includes six "magic filters" in still mode for enhancing photos. Those options are Pop, Pin Hole, Fisheye, Drawing, Punk and Soft Focus.

They would be perfect for the back-to-school season...in Japan where they'll all be released later this month. U.S. consumers will just have to wait, but you can take a look at the spec breakdown for now:
