Casio Exilim EX-V8 Camera Shoots YouTube Videos in H.264

Casio recently announced their new Exilim EX-V8 digital camera that has an 8.1-megapixel sensor. The camera has a 7x optical zoom, but still maintains a slim profile. The LCD display is 2.5” and the camera can shoot 4 shots/second in high-speed continuous mode with a 2-megapixel resolution.

The big news here is the special software included with the camera called YouTube Uploader for Casio. This software coupled with the ability to record movies in H.264 format allows you to shoot YouTube videos and upload them to the YouTube site via USB. Shooting still images is easy as well thanks to face detection and blur reduction built-in. The camera is available in black or silver, no pricing information is available at this time. If video is more your thing than still shots, you probably will want a camcorder rather than a still camera that can shoot video too.
