Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder: fun and peppy
The Flip Video Ultra is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the emerging low-end digital camcorder category with improved video quality, a slightly trimmer design, and upgraded software package.
Specs:
• Pocket-sized camcorder with one-touch recording and digital zoom
• Holds 60 minutes of full VGA-quality video on 2GB of built-in memory
• Convenient USB arm plugs directly into your computer for easy viewing and sharing
• Built-in software lets you easily e-mail videos, upload to YouTube and AOL, and capture still photos from video
• Watch videos instantly on TV with included cable
With its Ultra series, Pure Digital has upgraded the design, video quality, viewing LCD, and software of its lightweight video camera that makes it very easy to capture and share low-resolution video via e-mail and the Web; we also appreciated that there's now one-touch video uploading to YouTube and AOL Video and that the Ultra is compatible with Macs. However the Ultra has no SD/MMC card expansion slot, also don’t expect video quality to match that of a MiniDV camcorder's, finally the movie editing features only work with PCs, not Macs.
For a $150 camcorder this one’s a nice buy for the budget conscious. Go for it!
