Flip Video Camcorder 60-Minutes

Processing takes an additional 2 to 3 days from Adorama Camera.

The good: With its Flip 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.

It happens to be the Flip Video Ultra, the third iteration of Pure Digital Technologies’ simple plug-and-play video camera that features a hideaway USB connector and built-in software that makes viewing and sharing your videos incredibly easy.

The bottom line: With improved video quality, a slightly trimmer design, and upgraded software package, the Flip Video Ultra is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the emerging low-end digital camcorder category.

Firewire output: Also called i.Link and IEEE-1394, this connection transmits image and video data from your camera to your computer at speeds up to 400Mbps.

Like the previous model, there’s a 1.5-inch LCD screen on back of the camera, which allows for instant review, so you can delete any undesirable clips right away.

HD Recording: High-definition camcorders use a larger image sensor than standard camcorders to capture video at true high-definition resolutions.

The bad: No SD/MMC card expansion slot; don’t expect video quality to match that of a MiniDV camcorder’s.

But once you do, you can automatically upload your videos to the Web for private or public viewing with a click of a button.

Just a way for water to get in, should have been a memory card slot.

Or, connect Flip Video directly to your computer through the built-in USB arm.

Just as importantly, the company’s incorporated some automatic editing software from a company called Muvee, though the Muvee features only work with PCs, not Macs.

First, it’s even easier to get your videos uploaded to YouTube and now AOL Video.

You can email videos, make custom movies, capture still photos from video clips, and upload videos directly to popular sharing sites, including YouTube and Grouper Networks.

Flip Video is the ideal choice for capturing everyday moments that happen anywhere, and sharing them with family and friends everywhere.

Prices shown are for online purchases only.

Rechargeable lithium ion battery power – charges by connecting to your USB port or using the optional Flip Video Power Adapter.

What’s noteworthy is that the company hasn’t increased the amount of video recording time, which means the video you’re shooting is less compressed and has a higher bit rate that results in better-looking video.
