Cool New Video Camera

[Teacher Mark 53]

I just bought one of these and I'm real impressed so far (give it time). It is extremely easy to use and appears to have decent video quality (unlike the DXG I got ripped off on).

Once again Flip good, DXG BAD!

Yes it does. I'm wondering about the sound though. I have a big mouth, maybe I'm putting out to many decibels for it.

Yeah, the flip definitley seems to have better video quality. Glad you found a camera that works for you.

I think the sound is different because you are inside with the flip and outside with the other one...

Yep, cheap and easy, two of my own qualities. Talk about a match made in heaven!

if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the flip? the only video camera we have now is on my digital camera but the quality is really bad...

never mind.. just checked out the link you posted.. looks like around $100 bucks for the basic one.. not bad...

and you can get the more fancy ones for pretty cheap on Amazon.... hmm, once I get my hands on some extra cash I might have to look into buying one of those...

Doesn't look bad, although for not much more you can buy a better quality digital camera that also takes video with sound. My Sony Cybershot takes decent quality video and with a 2GB memory card, I can take something like 2 hrs. of video on it.
