Flip Video Camera
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 PM
" If you're in the market for an ultra-portable, highly affordable camcorder, the Flip Video and slightly improved Flip Video Ultra may be two of the best choices you can make. I was highly skeptical about the Flip even after reading rave reviews in places like the Wall Street Journal and Forbes. You can't possibly shoot decent looking video for under $150; at least that's what I thought. At just thicker than an iPod, the Flip easily fits in your pocket meaning you have no excuse to not take it with you. The $120-$150 price makes it not the end of the world if you ever drop or lose your Flip. And for that price, the Flip shoots video I'd put up against any of the DVD camcorders on the market and some of the low-end MiniDV camcorders. I'm not about to replace my Canon HV20 (or a Canon GL2) with the Flip, but for many situations, it's the perfect camcorder for catching impromptu moments."
I'm a big believer in that the best camera is the one you always have with you. My Canon S2 takes nice pictures, but I actually get more use out of the $80 clearanced Polaroid that I keep in my bag since I usually have it on me. Check out the review for a sample video, I think you will be impressed at its price versus performance.
