Who Is The Flip Video Cam Ideally Suited For?
As always with technology it is a case of "horses for courses". Nobody can answer the question as to what is the best video camera on the market because everyone's needs are different. I'm not about to tell ou that you have to go out and buy a Flip video cam because it's the best on the market but for certain people it may be the best choice for them.
So who is the Flip video cam ideal for?
Firstly, anyone who likes to keep things simple, either out of principle, because they don't like to dabble in the technical side of things or simply they don't know enough about technology to feel confident using something "fancy" would do very well with a Flip video cam.
Turn it on by pressing the button on the side, use the large screen as a viewfinder to make sure your subject is in the display, then press the red record button and you're videoing! Press the button again to stop filming and when you're done altogether, just plug the camera into your computer, press a couple of buttons and your videos are ready to watch on your computer.
Following on, therefore, the Flip video cam would seem ideal for thr younger or older generations though you should be aware that whilst the on/off button and the record button are just normal buttons, the other buttons that will allow you to watch videos you've already made or delete videos already on the camera are touch sensitive. Whilst I find this makes the camera easier and quicker to use, some people don't get on so well with touch sensitive buttons and find they are forever pressing things they didn't mean to by simply rubbing a finger over things.
The Flip video cam is also perfect for ocassions like weddings, Christmas, birthday parties and so on. It seems to film well both inside and outside, picks up sound well with the built-in microphone and will record up to an hour of video. Being small and easy to operate it's an ideal and fun way to capture an important ocassion without spending your whole day lugging around a huge camera or worrying about spare batteries, getting settings correct and so on.
Lastly, the Flip video cam is perfect for those people who want to display video on the Internet. Whether it's on your own website, a short message wishing your relatives that live abroad a Happy Christmas or just clips of your band on YouTube the Flip video cam makes it super simple to upload videos to the Internet using the software that comes built into the camera.
Once you've entered the details of your Facebook or YouTube account, a few button presses on the software will download your videos to your computer to safely store them, and then upload any that you specify to the Internet without you doing anything than clicking a few buttons.
