If a picture is worth a thousand words then what is the words-worth of a video? A hundred thousand? A million? We suppose it depends on the length of the video, but there is no doubting the value of video cameras for sharing special moments. Unfortunately with all the special features they come packed with, and the multitude of buttons, you can find the moment is gone before you've found the button that turns it on!

Enter the new Flip Video Camera. With it's small size and remarkable ease of use the Flip is the perfect camera for those who just want to be able to point and shoot. The Flip takes all the hard work out of recording, just press the red button to start shooting footage, and then again to stop. The clever little camera handles all the settings itself, and switches well when moving from brightly lit areas to more dimly lit ones.

Even moving the videos to your PC is easy and hassle free with no need to install software or drivers as its all self contained within the flip. Simply flip out the USB connecter, and plug in to a free port on your PC. It really is as simple as that! The inbuilt Flip Video program even allows you to upload videos directly to Youtube or AOL.

Powered by 2 AA batteries that give a life of up to 5 hours (depending upon the use pattern) the internal memory of 2GB gives a recording time of 60 minutes of full VGA quality video at 30 fps with a 640 x 480 resolution, and 2x digital zoom. The Flip houses a 1.5" TFT screen which acts as a viewfinder as well as allowing you to play back videos, as well as wide range microphone and speaker.

The flip is ideal for anyone who wants a ridiculously easy to use video camera that is small enough to keep handy at all times but still delivers a quality end product.
