i think you`d be better off with a blackberry torch camera, 5 megapixel and good sound quality. the iphone 4S camera is also a nice one, 8 megapixel and again good sound quality, however when talking about pricepoints the nokia N8 does come out on top, 12 megapixel and HD sound quality
What is a good camera phone that is cheaper? I've tried looking up a phone that takes good video but all the results are expensive smart phone types like the samsung memoir. Is there an older model that takes decent video?
I first saw this video 2 days ago. Today in music class at school our teacher was video recording us singing and she was using the Flip Video Ultra. LOL How strange? And she plugged it into the computer and to be honest, the playback was brilliant.
Oh and 'Let's have fun with grandma' Ashens you rude person! Lol
I bought a Bush one similar to these from Argos in January, it was not great. If Stuart wasn't convincing enough, I can confirm that you do need a USB extension, I massacred mine putting it in directly, but hey, I'm a child. It was good for the money, £50, but it was a bit obsolete when I took it on a school trip and everyone else owned an SLR camera. :(
Even though this video is a bit old now, I think everyone shopping for a camera needs to watch this and the Camelio H10 review, because those two videos give a nice rundown of all the things to look at when shopping for a camera instead of looking at the general specs listed on the package.
wow, thats realy not much better than the $30 video camera I bought when I needed to make a project and my good one broke. Plus, the $30 one's screen flipped around so you could see it from the front
@ashens4:32 Hey I take a microscopic sized offense from that not very mean comment. Then again, my camera is on the fritz, and yet is still to laggy for windows live movie maker. Lolololol..... :D
@cutemimi25 sorry for calling you stupid, but the company Flip makes them. I though Cisco made them too, until my dad, who works at cisco, told me that Cisco simply bought the company Flip, so that is why it says Cisco on it.
I'll take the flip any day ... I found even more information on the flip and some other cameras out there. A good site I like is hdvideocamerareview(.com)
@theYoda98 And i've been wating for the time to say it. You can now rest, there will be no more.... NO. MORE. BULLSHITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not just get an iPhone? It has all of the features these things do (maybe a tiny bit lower quality), can take pictures, play games, and make calls o.0 (and only costs about twice as much)
I got a Flip Ultra last week, slightly different to this as it's obviously an updated version. I love it so far, so quick and easy to use, integral software set up in minutes and I plug it straight into my laptop via the usb - I think that's what it's designed to do.
Even though this review is old, I still look back to it as the perfect example of a good comparison/review. It put the cameras through their paces rather than just going "look at this pretty video on a nice sunny day!" and it focuses on the audio as well, which most reviews seem to ignore completely. It also showed me when I was shopping for a low budget camera to look at different footage in different lighting conditions and other situations than just some jamoke shooting flowers in the sun.
The $150 dollar flip ultra has TWO hours of video save...not one. We have two of them and they are TWO hours. Flip customer service sucks. I have yet to find a valid phone number for them(the one in the manual is disconnected!). One of the ultras just died two mos after purchase for no apparent reason and even though covered by warranty we could get NO help. won't be getting any more flips at any price.
Thanks for the video, I think that you persuaded me to buy the Creative Vado over the Flip Ultra I was going to buy. But does the Creative Vado have its own editing software?
I actually just bought a Flip UltraHD and I like it! Of coures seeing the date of this video they have had two years to make it better! I am uploading my first video i did with it right now and shall see how it did.
Excellent review. This review is exactly how a comparison should be done, and influenced my purchase decision. It demonstrated that audio not to be good enough for my needs.
sony ericsson!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love mine,its a sony ericsson W580i ,it takes great video and long,and most of my friends have an iphone and they try to rub it im my face but the thing is they've droped it and broke it,mine...shit man..ive thowed it at the wall,droped from high hights and it hasnt broke or even have a skratch on it :) <3 yeah..suck on that friends x]
