It’s all good! It was your video of “What beer do you want in an emergency situation” that made me think…”I really need to go get an HD camcorder and do more video”.

My bad. My Flip is 720p. Your right Robb, my bad.

Sorry bout that.

140.00 is a steal for sure. They’ll end up having something similar like that again for the patient.

I thought it would be funnier if I did it. She thought it was! Being a little bit of a control freak doesn’t help either…

I wish the Kodak had a “see yourself mode” too. The Sony had a rotating lens…but who wants to use their memory sticks?!

Interesting that Flip doesn’t mention 1080P in their features on the website. You would think they would push that.

Not an issue at all. I wouldn’t want it any bigger though…

It’s the features like optional external mic connection, and expandable memory that really made it a definite purchase for me. Also, I was able to gnab it for $140 just prior to the Black Friday rush this past Thanksgiving. If price is a concern, it’s definitely worth it to keep an eye out for a similar price drop to occur again.

Thanks for the review. I’m shopping for a hand held HD camera at the moment. Of course the Flip is still a contender, but I’m leaning more towards the Kodak.

I found it funny how you had to try and drive while filming and your wife was laughing about it. Why couldn’t she handle the camera?

I have the Flip and the only thing I don’t like about it is that you can’t see yourself if you are recording yourself. Other than that I love it. It boots up and is ready to record in about 2 seconds, allows you to do simple video editing from any computer its plugged into, and the one I have does 1080p and I got it for $179.

Both would probably be good in my opinion, I went with Flip for price and ease of use.
