This kind of thing happens during the run-up to CES. Casio will be showing off this neat little camera at their press conference, no doubt, but in the meantime they’ve got it plastered all over the convention center and even had the press pics go live for a few minutes.

We’re still in transit, but Engadget got a few snaps of the leaked camera, which looks to be a sort of relative of the Sony Bloggie in that it can rotate and stand on its own. I like it, and it’s already cooler than the snoozefest that was Casio’s camera offerings last year. Of course, after the year before, when they unveiled the amazing compact high-speed Exilims, anything would have been a disappointment.

I’m hoping this isn’t all they’ve got, though, cool as it is. Bring on more high-speed stuff, guys!
