The flip video camcorder is an appropriate buy over the standard video recorder because of its affordability, convenient sizing and sturdy design. The Flip digital looks extremely elegant in white. It is a lightweight plug and play digital video recorder that allows for USB connectivity, though the USB connector can be hidden in the model outer case. It can be spruced up with the optional 1GB of memory card instead of the regular 512MB for additional storage capacity of upto 60 minute of VGA recording. The Flip video camcorder can be directly plugged to a display device like the TV and delivers amazing video quality. The 1.4inch LCD display enables immediate playback for videos. During the video shoot the users cannot toggle between the various shooting modes. The sound quality is great in contrast with the size of the mic. It is easy to operate and the data transfer rate with this camcorder is fast for moving the videos to hard disk and other storage devices. Sharing files with digital flip is exceedingly fast especially over the Internet. Users can also choose the lower resolution transfer mode for quick transfer. However, the Flip Video Camcorder uses only the ordinary alkaline batteries. Users may find a little difficulty in operating the push buttons. There is no inbuilt protection for lens or the LCD playback screen calling for careful handling. The sound playback level has to be turned on every time the camcorder is switched to on mode. The colors are vibrant with immense clarity but the flip video camcorder does not support the white balance adjustment feature. It also records a clicking sound when the zoom feature is used. The digital Flip is both Mac and windows compatible but works better with Windows interface.
