Have you heard of that new video camera called "The Flip Ultra/video" ?
I seen the ad on myspace like 4 days ago, and i seen it at walmart.
I am not sure about you but this looks wicked fresh.
The only thing i am concerned about is the handling of the camera.
It looks pretty good to me, but the handling might be a bit bad for the quality because it is like a digital camera.
But they have video previews on there website and myspace and it seems legit.
If i do good in school and just act like a sane being my mom said she would pitch in and help me get it.
I like have been wanting something like this forever. lol
And the accesories you can buy look wicked too, like an underwater case, and an action tripod kind of thing.
But i like really need this because me and my friend where wanting to start a show, and well the camcorder i have can't upload to web.
What do you think about it?

The Flip Camcorder.

These things have been around for long time. I don't think it'd be something that someone who would want to take high quality photos would get. It strikes me as something that someone who doesn't take many pictures and just wants to take pictures for memories would get.

That's because it is... It's pretty affordable but it's appealing to younger people. I actually like it & I was getting one before the summer ends because I always love cool gadgets and stuff & I'd think it would be nice to have since it's small and I won't be pissed if I lose it or something happens to it. I like the colors, plus I know my friends & I always do youtube vids when we're bored so it's a cool cam to me...

I wouldnt personally recommend it because I bought something very similar at walmart, but the quality was really bad and you cant extract the media, when I mean similar, it was made by the same company :/ just a heads up:]
