I'm about to buy a Flip Mino. I want the one for $99.99 but it only holds an hour of footage. Are you able to put a memory card into the camera that holds more than an hour? Or should I just buy the $139.99 camera for 2 hours?

I really don't have alot of other options right now, Zang. I just want a camera that is EASY TO USE. I have a great camcorder right now but it's impossible to freaking use it with the internet. As far as crappy video and sound quality goes, I do watch daily vlogs. Shaycarl, for example, uses a Flip. And I see no problem with the quality of his videos.

I think he answered all of your points there. What's your price range for a camera?

I'm not sure. The camera I have now was 400. I just figured a Flip wouldn't be that bad for 100.

Oh. Still pictures. I didn't even mention that. That should be a HUGE reason to not buy the Flip

I'll have to talk to my grandma. She's the one paying for it. The point is, I didn't say "Oh hey, I need a new camera" ... I said "Hey, this camera looks cool and alot of youtubers use it. Can I have it?" Which means the chances of her getting me anything else, ecspecially something more expensive, are slim.

Alright. Fine. Just keep other cameras in mind and the features (or lack there of) the Flip has

She said to keep looking for different cameras. Thats a good sign. I have a Kodak C613 which is a decent digital camera which also takes decent video. Here's an example.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwHdfg_FJtU&feature=channel_video_title the sound quality isn't completely atrocious when it comes to concerts and things. It isn't good either though. This camera is also extremely easy to use. I don't want to buy another camera and bring it home, only to find that it's almost impossible to simply get footage from the camera onto youtube. |

I bought a flip just because it was cheap and i thought it'd be cool to have a small camera. I did it before watching that video, and I completely regret it.
Really, really, really, really, don't buy one.

I hear a flip camera is just like using a cell phone camera. However, I totally understand and respect being on a budget. That being said, you can usually find pretty sweet deals on open box (slightly higher end) cameras for dirt cheap at electronic stores. Open box means final sale and no warranty, but if you're only dropping $100, you'll most likely still end up with something better without taking a huge gamble.

Oh my god.. I AGREE WITH ZANG??
Also, phone cams can be goodz. In fact.. Zang's phone.. And mine.. And any iPod Touch is the same price as a flip.. And does a lot more.. And has better sound and picture quality..

No, we've had many conversations. On the forum.. You may not remember it because everyone painted you as an [PANTS]hole in the few convos we've had. |
