Casio truly made a name for itself with the Exilim series of cameras it introduced at the beginning of the century. Exilim cameras have always been super compact, sleek, and sexy, making them ideal for people who like to travel light and easy. Hip to the fact that YouTube and other video sites are all the rage, Casio has released a new Exilim camera — the EX-Z77 — with a veritable cornucopia of features, 'YouTube capture mode' being the most notable and promoted spec. The EX-Z77 certainly sounds like a great camera, and the $199 USD MSRP is hard to beat. Read on to find out if it performs as well as expected.

The photo made the first page in the local newspaper. I’ll take a photo of the paper and posted here later.

I've spent the last year living in the neighborhood on South Washington between South and Elm streets. It's home to Discount Dave's, the Cadillac Club, and a few other small businesses. It's been a convenient area for me to live because of its proximity to the freeway and River Trail, both easy ways to travel around Lansing.
