Flip video camera?

Hmmm....

I beginning to doubt the validity of their claim of "huge popularity".

I did get through enough of the technical stuff to discover that it does have still image capture.

The online reviews are great.

I'd still rather hear from some "real life" users or others who know about video cameras <hint hint>.

Anybody? Anybody? Ferris?

I read a very good review of it (I've barely handled it at all and don't own one but the review is spot on) in the New York Times.

David Pogue's review of the Flip

Ease of use (and size of course) makes a big difference in whether camcorders and cameras are used or not. I have a camera on my phone that can do video and all. But yesterday in Panama I wanted to take a picture of the colorful buses and ended up not bothering because it would take too long to get the camera ready.

The ease of use is the only thing going for the product, but the importance of usability can't be overstated.

I got one for the husband of my son's day-carer and he likes it a lot!
Sorry, that's all I can say about it!

I can ask him about the stills though, if I remember!

OK, just read that you found out about the stills already!

Thanks Robert and Bohne!

I'll take a look at that review.

I'm really an old fashioned girl when it comes to cameras though. I use my big chunky camera a lot more than my dinky little one. But I've never really had a video camera so "habit" might not be such an issue there.
