The latest model, called the Flip Ultra hd camcorder, improved video quality, greater capacity, a tripod mount and better looks (available in white, black, orange, pink and green). It's been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com since the day of its debut.
Understand the appeal if this machine is simplicity
The screen is tiny (1.5 inches) and doesn't swing out for self-portraits. You can't snap still photos. There are no tapes or discs, so you must offload the videos to a computer when the memory is full (30 or 60 minutes of footage, depending on whether you can buy the $150 or $225 model). There are no menus, no settings, no video light, no optical viewfinder, no special effects, no headphone jack, no high definition, no lens cap, no memory card. And there's no optical zoom -- only a 2X digital zoom that blows up and degrades the picture. Ouch.
Instead, the Flip has been reduced to the purest essence of video capture. You turn it on, and it's ready to start filming in two seconds
There it is: the entire user's manual.
Comparisons with a real camcorder are nonsensical, because the Flip is something else altogether: it's the video equivalent of a Kodak point-and-shoot camera. It's the very definition of "less is more."
The video and audio quality is surprisingly good -- not as sharp as a tape camcorder or even digital still cameras, but far superior to cellphone video. It has TV resolution (640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second), with softer images than you'd get with a real camcorder.
You can buy one of the high dollar camcorders if you like (that has the same features)or ultra Flip with it's low-light abilities..... Which by the way trump even $1,000 camcorders.
