Casio Exilim EX-V8

What's up with casio? I owned the V7 and returned it because the IQ was not sufficient for me. While i thought about a new cam the V8 came out and i was hell of exited about the upgrade on the V7! The concept is not bad at all. The features look awesome on the specs sheet. The video quality is suprisingly good if the zoom would be accurate. (This was an issue of the V7 ,too) There are a few manual contols that's nice. You can take long exposure pictures in the dark. Not an essential feature ...

The specs on DPreview say this cam does not have youtube capture mode, but it does. Also timelapse features and a 4 sec (not 1/2 sec) min shutter. The ex-s880 also has timelapse but the specs here say it does not. What's up?
