Our take on the Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra

by Tara W.

The pocket-sized Flip Video Ultra camcorder makes it easy to record your home videos and share them on the web. It stores up to 60 minutes of footage to a built-in 2-gigabyte memory, and features a 1-1/2" LCD for composing and reviewing your shots.

Connect the Flip to your PC via its flip-out USB arm — no cables needed. Upload your favorite clips directly to a video-sharing website like YouTube to show them to family, friends, and the rest of the world. Built-in software on the camcorder lets you save videos to your computer, reformat them in a smaller size for easy e-mailing, and even create snapshots from footage you've already shot.

Simple and fun!!

Written By tim, South windsor, Ct. on Friday, February 15, 2008
 
This little camera is so simple and straight forward to use. I bought one for each of my kids so they could goof around and make youtube videos and they have a blast with them. It really has spurred their creativity in many ways, so I'm pleased with the purchase. I also liked that these cameras aren't loaded with tons of gadegety features that take forever to understand and utilize, and for the most part for everyday applications aren't needed. The attached usb arm makes uploads to your computer very simple and with my kids they are always losing the adapters, so having it attached really helps. Video quality could be a bit better but for the price and purpose this camera is more than adequate.
