What really captures your attention with the new Casio Exilim EX-S880, EX-Z77 is not their technical specs, but the agreement with YouTube allows the two digicams to harp about a "unique YouTube capture mode," and bundle in software "to provide ideal settings for recording, storing, and uploading video." Fortunately the specs look plum enough to warrant a look.

The Exilim Card EX-S880 is a 8.1-megapixel camera that has a 2.8-inch monitor, SD / SDHC support, and comes in black or red motifs. The Exilim Zoom EX-Z77 is a 7.2-megapixel camera that features a 2.6-inch LCD and comes in four varying colors.

Both EX-S880 and EX-Z77's YouTube capture mode records in 640 x 480 H.264, and gives "two step" access transfer your clips from the flash card to the web. Both the cameras will be out next month. The Casio Exilim EX-S880 will cost $299.99 and the EX-Z77 will cost $229.99.
