Casio is rolling out two new cameras that are YouTube ready. The Exilim EX-S880 and EX-Z77. From the specs it seems like these cameras are very similar to existing models in the Exilim line. Specifically the Exilim EX-Z75.

You then slip the camera into a dock, which comes with the device and plugs into your PC. This automatically starts a video management application on the computer and grabs the movie files. The application can be set up with a YouTube account, default title name, and other settings, so getting the video online involves simply clicking the upload button. Alternatively, you can enter information specific to the clips, then upload them.

Obviously this is all an exercise in marketing and branding. I fail to see how this is any easier than plugging your memory card into your PC an uploading your video to Youtube the normal way.

I’ll be posting a bit more about the Casio Exilim line. They are an excellent line of digital cameras.
