I think the flip (I got the HD for xmas) could be transformational -
it's like the brownie cam of videoblogging..
It's not just the cam but also the flipshare software/service that
comes with it...
It's pretty much idiot-proof..

I've got four of them, and I did have one croak on me during an
upgrade. Their software zorched the firmware during the upgrade. I

But this is my point, the flipHD fits in the pocket, costs $150, and
all the editing one might need is built in to the software - hey it
even has "magic movie" to make your edit decisions! It's instant
videoblogging for the masses!
Add-on lenses, plug in microphones, forgeddaboutit!

True. But that's the very reason I see more and more people with
Flips and Kodaks. They like the idea of this phone-like flat object
to slip in the pocket, that does both photos and HD video.
They don't want separate chunky video camera and stills camera, if
they can have both in one.

I think you missed my point on that one a tad. "the masses" do not
want to carry a second device at all, be it a still camera, video
camera, or MP3 player/iPod, everything is and will ultimately converge
to the mobile phone.
But yes, I agree, your points are valid.

Sorry, I edited out the line from mine where I said that I thought
"the masses" still don't really want a phone that does video. Most
people I know don't want a complicated phone. They make do stills
from their phone because it's convenient, but view video differently -
they want good qu

I recall when David first got his Xacti, he had to do some leg work to
figure out the best ways to edit the MP4 file format of the Xacti with his
current video editing software. From looking at his video blog, David is a
smart guy, and he knew where to go (this list, for example) when trying to

I neglected to say that my Flip is the Mino SD, not HD. For HD (720 P)
video, I use my Canon SD780is, and edit with the Canon Zoombrowser software.
I'm running the zoombrowser software on a 4 year old Gateway laptop. It
chuggs, but it gets the job done. Granted, most of my videos are under 5

David raises a good point here, what might be missing in flipshare is
a 'podcast' function, which sites provide it, given 720p AVC input? I
am talking 640x360 baseline .m4v's with auto iTunes store listing.

I have edited the MP4 output of both the Flip HD and the Kodak Zi8 with
varying degrees of success. As someone here mentioned, the included
software is there to chop the heads and tails off of clips, but really
isn't good for anything more involved than that. A lot of the issue is
just ram t
Hmmm, the Flip?
I'm shooting with the RED ONE in 2010. :)
