What's the purpose of the Flip Video… if you already have a digital camera?

Posted on Mar 31, 2009 under Digital news and reports |

The Flip Video (2 GB version) says it has a 2x zoom. Can it zoom in while taking video?

How is a Flip Video camera better than a standard digital camera (that takes video)? The resolution seems to be the same..

Does anyone have any experience with the Flip Camera?

Why or why did you not get a Flip Video, in addition to your digital camera?

  1. The resolution for the original Flip is probably the same, but it is created specifically for video, while your digital camera is not. This means on the fly auto-focus, real time adjustments to lighting conditions etc. If you're concerned about resolution, look into one of the higher end models that offer up to 720p resolution (Flip Mino is a great choice). They're also insanely easy to use and you don't need a cord (the USB plug just flips - hence the name - right out of the side of the camera.

    I own a high end DSLR (Nikon D3) and I still use my Flip all the time. It's very handy, and takes GREAT video for the price tag.

    And in response to the poster below - there is a significant difference between cameras that are primarily intended to take still shots, and ones that are intended for video. That statement applies across the board.

    There's really no difference, they just say that because they want people to believe that so they can sell their product. :]
