Casio's New EX-S600D Gets DivX Certification

Have you ever had a digital camera that recorded videos in some obscure format that didn't play on anything except your 2" viewfinder? Casio and DivX must know the feeling because earlier today, DivX announced that they've granted certification to the Casio EX-S600D, a 6-megapixel camera that's due out in July in France and Germany.

The S600D captures video in the widely popular DivX format, which is compatible with more than 1,500 different video-playing devices (DVD players, PMPs, etc). Here's the way DivX put it: "The CASIO EX-S600D camera allows consumers to easily access the valuable DivX ecosystem, an interconnected web of consumer electronics, software and content services that let users play, create and share high-quality video content across a range of devices and platforms."


With a high video quality, you'll be able to pack in about an hour of video on a 1 GB memory card. More info is at DivX.com
