Shoot & "You Tube" Directly

Behold the all new Casio's latest 8.1 megapixel camera for the future - Exilim Zoom EX-Z80. One of the special feature is having a YouTube capture mode that shoots movie clips in the site's recommended format and resolution, and comes with software to upload the videos directly to the Web.

This baby can records video in the H.264 standard, which also makes the mini-movies compatible for iPod viewing. Being a still camera, the EX-Z80 has a 3x optical zoom and face-detection feature to help improve the focus and exposure of people in a photo.

The Exilim EX-Z80 comes in six colours - green, blue, black, silver and two shades of pink and has a 2.6in LCD screen. Nothing to shout about, considering some cameras now a days comes with a 3.0in touch screen.

Compliments are given for some features like the image stabilisation technology and the motion detecting Auto Shutter that snaps the picture as soon as the subject settles down and holds still.
