Flip Video @ Disneyland ?

[wazowskiLOVER:)]

Hey guys !

Has anyone recorded with a Flip Video at Disneyland? Did the video turn out good ? I'm getting one soon for our trip coming up and want an honest opinion (not a seller )

I have had mine for a year and I love it... though I have not filmed at DL, I have taken it on several family vacations plus cheeleading shows, track & swim meets, and other family events. The quality is not always as clear as a high quality camcorder but the flip is so small and it is great to download to the computer and so easy to share videos. Also the zoom is not really strong so you may not get great pictures from far away.

Thanks MelKeil ! I'm mainly using it to vlog so I'm pretty happy about it !

I looked into one of those Flips last year but what I actually did was I ended up buying a Canon SD1100 which is a regular point and shoot camera that also does video (with sound). When i researched the flip I read in a couple of reviews that the quality of the Flip was the same as some of the Canon point-and-shoot cameras so I got the Canon instead and I love the camera. The quality of the video seems good (not as good as a nice camcorder but the flip wouldn't be as nice as one of those either). My mom and sister (PinkBudgie) have the same camera and love it too. In fact, my dad, who has some fancy Nikon likes to use my mom's canon sometimes too. I know that doesn't really answer your question but i thought i would mention the Canon as another option. I think Amazon has it for around $150 which is a little cheaper than what i paid for it 6 months ago. Oh and the Canon is small too so it can easily fit in a pocket or purse.

Flip has a new High Definition camera out now. Reviews at Amazon seem to be favorable. They're selling it for $207. I might actually try one at that price.

I had heard that the camera hanging from it's usb thingy was very bad and the weight of the camera could break off the usb thingy. So, I went a different camera.
