As a family we’ve always done a nice job of getting good pictures of the kids and their activities as well as in everyday life. Where we have pretty much totally dropped the ball is in the video department. We’ve previously owned 2 camcorders and the amount of video we’ve captured is well, very little. We hope to change that all with the addition of a new Flip Video pocket camcorder:
Recording is as simple as pushing the big red button on the back of it – pause it the same way. When it comes time to get the video off the device you just plug it into any PC with a USB port and it will install the editing software for you. Email videos, post them to Facebook or Youtube, crop off snapshots of videos, it’s all possible and very easy to do.
Earlier today I grabbed some video of Son #3 at his Gingerbread Play at school:
The quality is great, HD video for under $160.00 just can’t be beat. It even works in normal lighting conditions:
If you find yourself in situations where you miss opportunities to record memories like we do then maybe this camcorder is the one for you.
