I just got a new toy...

Its a flash video recorder. Very light easy to carry and records an hour.
Here is a link to the model... http://www.theflip.com
Here I am trying to sound like a fishing TV show guy...



The video turned out better than the fishing

Nice Toy !

The next Roland Martin

Which one did you get? I've been wanting to get a video camera to use for fishing trips. I've been using the video function on my digital camera lately. The price on these makes them pretty appealing. They have a waterproof case available for them also.

Hi Nathan-
I got the Flip Ultra... its a little smaller and from what I read the video quality is better.
It runs on 2 AA batteries and has not burned them up yet so the battery life is good.
The waterproof case is on my wish list.

I got it for work- videoing homes, problems the inspector finds, showing how close parks or shopping is to a listing.
Fishing videos are a bonus!

Question: Can you cut still images from the video with the camera, or do you have to use a third party editor?

Dubble

Yes you can cut stills... the editing software is on the camera!

Thanks to Tom we now have a video button to link to YouTube videos!!
Check this out...

Now you don't get redirected to another site!

It works with nearly all the popular video sites including photobucket, google, youtube, metacafe, yahoo, etc.

Cool deal Barry.

Really super little cams. I got a pink model for my 9 year old granddaughter before our trip to Washington this spring as she wanted to take some vids and of course Poppy
responded. I chose it for its size and simplicity...wanting something more than a "toy." The results are quite amazing! Great pic and audio downright unreal in low
light situations. I'd give it a 4.8 out of 5!

Looks like I'm going to have to get me one. Ought to work fairly well for simple fishing videos on the boat. Probably going to get a mount for it and put it on my console grab rail. That way when I'm out fishing alone I can just hit the button and start recording. It looks like I can get a cable and tie it into my chartplotter also. That way I can view videos on the 7" color chartplotter screen.

saw this last year and almost got one. Looks pretty neat and waterproof too

I saw this at Best Buy and thought it would be a cheap way to take a few photos while on the water. Its on $59.00 and 5.0 megapixel. It comes with 32 mb and a SD slot for more memory. I have no idea what kind of pictures it takes thought or how they look.
