Video Camera Recommendations

I got some money for my birthday and I want to buy a video camera but I have no idea where to even start! Anyone have a video camera that they love?

Re: Video Camera Recommendations

  • We were given a Flip HD by some amazing friends for Christmas. We love it! Super easy to use/upload/share and small enough to throw in my purse.

  • We also got a Flip HD for Christmas and so far its really great.  We wanted something small so I could have it in my bag to catch spontaneous cuteness and I'm amazed at the quality of such a tiny camera!
  • I got a UltraHD Flip for my birthday and I really like the simplicity. DH is an IT guy and gadget guy and says that it only records in 720p... which isn't full HD. We are planning on getting a new camera that does full HD and records at 30fps (DH is crazy about this crap) We are going to go with Nikon CoolPix S8100 (But this is a camera, not a camcorder)

  • Thanks for the suggestions! My only concern with the flips is that they only hold 2 hours of video. If we are on vacation or something I may need more recording time then that.
  • We also love our Flip!  Super convenient and easy to use!
  • We got the HD Kodak Flip camera and an extra battery so we can film up to 6 hours. :)
