Oh Casio, why must you taunt us with such slick cameras and only make them available in Europe? Indeed, more than four months after the release of the EX-S600D, Casio has just launched its latest DivX-certified digicam, appropriately called the EX-S770D. This new cam is now rockin' 7.2 megapixels, shootin' DivX in a 16:9 aspect ratio,and packin' a 3x optical zoom (plus 4x digital zoom) along with a 2.8-inch screen. We don't know how many euros this'll cost, but it'll probably be somewhere around the EX-S770's (pictured) price of $380 (€298) when it hits the continent before December.

read a bit of the pdf manual and I have a question:
why can't the movies recorded from the camera in divx avi format not be played on a mac??!
surely if it's a standard divx avi it can be played with vlc, or quicktime or even divx player?
seems a bit silly if this is limited to windows?
The video can be played on Macs, or on any operating system that can decode DivX avi's. The manual is mistaken.
Freude schöner Götterfunken...
hehe, might get one of these instead of a video camera
@bruce: thanks for that - how do you know? they need to correct that manual then :)
it certainly looks tempting..
lets see when they drop the pricing info!
DivX on cameras should have been introduced 5years ago
Seriously, MPEG videos is just not funny (Have you seen the file sizes for 10min long clips??!!)
Saves the hassle of having to convert it to divx at home
