Ok, the last time I bought a camcorder I bought a canon zr40 or something like that, it was a mini dv. I am thinking about a hard drive or flash memory camcorder, nothing fancy... for family stuff. I had considered a flip, maybe one of those water proof (3 m) types... any ideas? Lets try and keep it on the cheap side, I have 2 boys and they could tear up a rock. Thanks for any input. |
If it's just for family stuff, hard-drive and you want to stay cheap, I don't think you could go wrong with just getting a Flip. |
What mike said. I've got a flip for family purposes and it's fantastic. Can't recommend it enough. Although I've been thinking of moving up to an HD flip. Mine is the older SD version. But still.... |

Thanks for the info, I had been looking at the flips, do they make a water proof version? I will most likely go HD, so are there any model suggestions? Thanks again. |

Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

If you're thinking of going Flip, don't, and go with the Kodak Zi8 - last year I was gonna get a Flip, but then saw the Kodak Zi8 was a better camera than the Flip and I've been very pleased with it. |
