But enough typing, this is a review about a portable video camera, here's a video review! That means no microphone jack, NO settings (just one setting - awesome) and she immediately knew how to use it. Low light, bright light, it just looks great. It's best feature? Fantastic exposure control. It's a ~4000kbps video bitrate and a 177kbps audio rate. The Flip does 30fps MP4 video at 640x480 (4:3) and looks great on DVDs. My ONLY beef, and I mean ONLY, is that I can't just plug it into my Xbox, but that's actually a beef with the Xbox! Is there anything wrong with it? Not that I can see. Cheap, with one major button, minimal moving parts, built in software (the software lives on the camera and autoruns when you plug it in), 60 minutes of recording time and it's purse-sized. We had a Casio Exilim that did video, but it had too many knobs and buttons for her taste and getting the uncompressed video off the camera with a docking station, USB, more button pushing, not to mention getting it online was non-trivial and not something she was willing to put up with. I bought this for The Wife's birthday because the babies are always doing something awesome and we have no easy way to capture it. Turns out you can get the Pure Digital Flip Video Camera for only $119 for a while at Amazon.
