Utilizing the YouTube Capture Mode, Casio has struck a deal directly with Youtube to make shooting and posting videos easier than it already is. Two Casio cameras, the EX-S880 and EX-S77, allow for videos to be shot in the ideal format for uploading and displaying on Youtube (640 x 480 resolution). Videos can easily be uploaded to Youtube via a special software. These two cameras are slated to hit retail stores in August. They will display (as will every camera that possesses the YouTube Capture Mode) a special decal.
