| Flip Video Camera
" If you're in the market for an ultra-portable, highly affordable camcorder, the Flip Video and slightly improved Flip Video Ultra may be two of the best choices you can make. I was highly skeptical about the Flip even after reading rave reviews in places like the Wall Street Journal and Forbes.You can't possibly shoot decent looking video for under $150; at least that's what I thought. At just thicker than an iPod, the Flip easily fits in your pocket meaning you have no excuse to not take it with you.The $120-$150 price makes it not the end of the world if you ever drop or lose your Flip.And for that price, the Flip shoots video I'd put up against any of the DVD camcorders on the market and some of the low-end MiniDV camcorders.I'm not about to replace my Canon HV20 (or a Canon GL2) with the Flip, but for many situations, it's the perfect camcorder for catching impromptu moments."I'm a big believer in that the best camera is the one you always have with you.

CLEARLY the Hunt family are not afraid to dive into new technology. And though they enjoyed their time with these amazing appliances, things did not always go as planned Week one "Left unattended, the Dirt Dog vacuum cleaner nearly ate the audio system's speaker cords" -- Rosemary "There are so many cords supplied with the Sony camcorder, I don't know where to start. And it's so confusing to set up. I'll leave it until I have more time" -- Ella "Pioneer had set up the plasma, hooked up the DVD recorder and the Blu-ray player. This is the way to go. Who needs to read a manual. Oops . . . recorded the footy for the boys at work but nobody can get the DVD to play. Damn! I'll have to read the manual" -- Dale "Really excited by the Sony still camera! Took five shots, then realised it doesn't come with a memory card.
