The Flip Video camera that I ordered came today! I immediately tried it out and I love it. I can actually make videos without having to put every light in the place on. It’s cloudy today so there is no sunlight coming in either. The videos are so much better than the ones my digital camera takes. I can’t take a video with my digital camera unless I have every single light on.

The camera has a USB arm that plugs right into my computer and it loaded the Flip Video software right on to my computer. No discs to lose! The software is great too. You can make movies right from that and even upload them to YouTube, etc. You can also take still pictures from your videos.

Screenshot of the software:

At first I thought there was a problem with the camera because I could hear a lot of static in the background when I played the video on my computer. But I found out that I just had the volume too high on my computer.. oops.

This camera takes great videos and is so very easy to use. It came with batteries, a wrist strap and a nice black velvet-like bag to store it in.

Below is a video I took with the Flip Video Camera of JoJo as a test.

    Lara.. I’ve only had it a few hours but it’s great. I love the software that comes with it. It’s easier to use than Windows Movie Maker. They sell them new for about $150. This is a great deal!

    Cute video! JoJo looks a lot like my Junior kitty.

    I had been thinking about getting this camera, had it sitting in my shopping cart for about a week. I went ahead and placed the order based on your review and the quality of your video. It looks even better than the quality of my other cheap video recorder, the one I lost.

    Thanks for the review! :grin:

    Thanks Christine! You’ll love this camera. I’m really surprised at the quality of the videos.

    JoJo is turning into a little ham whenever I bring out a camera. She starts making her noises. LOL

    [...] blogged about it on my other blog ArmyMomNJ. It was only $89.99 and the quality of the videos it takes is great. It comes with a cord to hook [...]
