The easiest and funnest way to make a home movie, literally in the palm of your hand
A new breakthrough in the world of compact, easy-to-operate camcorders, the Flip Cam from Pure Digital is perhaps the sleekest and simplest of the lot. Only a few inches longer than the average still-photo digicam, the Flip has a 1 ½-inch LCD screen and a big red “record” button, one of its few modes of operation. Whether the videographer is 8 or 80, the Flip is super-easy to handle, point, shoot, stop, and play back, and comes with built-in software with which you can edit and upload your home videos with just a few clicks. The Flip plugs directly into your Mac or PC with an attached USB plug, so there are no wires to hunt around the house for — and because it’s all about being small and easy, it holds up to 60 minutes of footage (depending on the model) without any tapes or memory cards.
