Flip Video Ultra 30-min. Camcorder - Almost Too Easy!

The Flip Video Ultra Camcorder is a mini-cam that can easily fit in your pocket, so it's always ready when you are. The manual is about the size of a pamphlet; this thing is so ridiculously easy to use, you don't need a dozen pages or more to get it. Basically, you aim it and press the big red "Record" button. To stop recording, just press "Record" again (you do have to press firmly, though; I guess that's to prevent accidental recording in your pocket!) Then you pay it back on the screen provided on the unit, hook it up to your TV with the cable provided, or download it to your PC, or straight to YouTube and other video hosting sites. It comes with editing software that loads when you hook your Flip to your PC the first time, and after that, the Flip must be attached to the PC if you want to use the software, which is a bit of a drag if you want to edit videos that are already on the PC. I guess you could just use some other editing app if you don't want to attach the Flip every time. Speaking of that, the Flip has a very convenient pop-out USB arm for attaching it to your PC. The video quality is clear; a little jerky, but for the price (mine was $79.95) it's perfectly acceptable. It looks exceptionally good in low light, and that's not an extra feature. It's just that good! It's also has 2x zoom-in/out. All in all, the Flip Video Ultra Camcorder is a fantastic bargain!
