Title: Small, hand held video devices Post by: ghost on December 11, 2009, 09:30:15 AM I'm thinking of purchasing the wife a small video recorder for Christmas. Anyone had any experience with these things? We already have a nice recorder, but I want something she can keep in her purse.
example: Flip HD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R5AM7C/ref=s9_pop_gw_tr03/181-0990337-0091716?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0E69HH9Z2TCDE1E7S2W8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=493379291&pf_rd_i=507846 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R5AM7C/ref=s9_pop_gw_tr03/181-0990337-0091716?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0E69HH9Z2TCDE1E7S2W8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=493379291&pf_rd_i=507846) Title: Re: Small, hand held video devices Post by: Oban on December 11, 2009, 09:56:28 AM The iPhone 3GS seems to work quite well if you are looking for an all-in-one solution.
Title: Re: Small, hand held video devices Post by: ghost on December 11, 2009, 11:12:33 AM If you are using one for this, how much footage can you typically get before having to clear it off? Also, is the picture quality decent?

I have gone out and evaluated several of these. My opinion is that if you are looking for something to play on a television that is decent quality then the iPhone is probably not it. However, if you are looking for something that is decent enough for a computer to post videos to Youtube or whatnot it will work great. The other options, e.g. Flip or Creative or Sony, are generally a slightly better quality picture, but only the higher resolution HD ones will make a difference really. I'm going with the iPhone upgrade for portability and utility. |
