Casio Introduces New Cameras With Youtube Feature
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Casio, Inc. and its parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of two new digital cameras with the cutting-edge EXILIM Engine 2.0 image processing module. In conjunction with the release of these cameras, Casio, Inc. announced today their agreement with YouTube to include a unique YouTube Capture mode and bundle software to provide ideal settings for recording, storing and uploading video on the company’s newest EXILIM digital cameras – EX-S880 and EX-Z77. This agreement represents an effort by Casio, Inc. to directly engage the YouTube community by simplifying the process of creating and sharing videos."
Casio’s YouTube Capture mode records in next-generation MPEG-4 H.264 high quality video format. This mode also provides sharp resolution (640 x 480) and a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second. While I don't see too many details yet, Casio is providing consumers with a groundbreaking tool to get videos recorded and uploaded directly to YouTube in as few as two steps. I'd bet that the next step will be to incorporate wi-fi chips into the cameras so that the videos can be uploaded onto Youtube sooner. I wonder if Google paid Casio to introduce the Youtube feature. :?
