Flip video camera

If you are looking for a camera that is easy to use and does not require extensive video editing software or skills, I recommend using the Flip Video camera. I purchased the Flip Ultra to trial it’s use. Bought it at Walmart for under $200.00. Runs on AA batteries and has a built in USB connection. Really wanted to try the HD Mino but it is not available in Canada. This video by Computerworld gives a quick overview of how to use the camera. Still need to confirm that school USB ports will support the connection to the camera. If not, will have to purchase the USB connectors available as an accessory. The scripts on some of the blog posts are conflicting. Click the link to the blog post to see the videos.

Quick test video: Shot the scene at night – fluorescent light; saved to computer. Opened with Quicktime Pro; exported as a Flash file to upload it to my own server to use in this blog post.
