Saving Money One Product at a Time

If I Were Single Again

I want to start this post stating, by saying I do not wish to to be single again. I am perfectly happy being married. The whole reason for this title and this subject is what I have heard from young, middle aged. and older people who find themselves without a partner for one reason or the other. I have seen several single people with interesting attitudes toward money, and saving money. I thoug...

Valentine’s Day the Perfect Gift

Valentine's Day is one of those day's we must not forget, or else! Or else a loved one, or mother maybe hurt, disappointed or upset at the very least. We do have help in not forgetting. Television commercials, displays in stores, and email having been reminding me for almost a month. February 14th is Valentines Day, and we should get our loved one some gift. Now we know we got to get our wife...

Beetle or Cooper

This week we have heard reports about gas prices are going up. After hitting a low of close to $3 per gallon for most of January, we are expecting gas prices to start climbing again. With gas prices climbing, the cost of driving our vehicles one mile has started to increase. For those of you who commute any distant to and from work, it will be a big impact on your budget. Like through out mo...

Wonderful World of Trade Shows

Las Vegas is a great place to go for a getaway vacation. It is also know as one of the most popular places to hold a trade show. If you look at the Las Vegas Convention Convention Center there is back to back trade shows. Still for someone like me, who happens to love trade shows, it is not practical for me to spend so much time in Vegas. In fact there is another location where I can go to a tr...

Do I Need Fancy Cleaners?

It is SuperBowl Sunday! There are going to be a lot of living rooms filled with football fans enjoying the big game. There is going to be some emotional highs and lows through out the game. Drinks and food is going to get spilled. Afterwards there will be some cleaning that need to be done. Depending on wild the party gets will depend on how much cleaning will need to be done. In preparation fo...

Gas Mileage Lies

On morning news there was a sniped about a lady who sued Honda for misrepresentation of their gas mileage. It was in small claims court, but still won $10,000. Interesting! It has become pretty much accepted, by all of us, what the sticker gas mileage would be under ideal condition. I am glad someone has stepped up to say, "We are not going to take it anymore!" When I look at different makes...

Touch Screen Desktop Computers

I first saw touch screens computers in the food processing industry back in the late 90's. Since then the technology and the price has been slowly been dropping. As a result we now see more cell phones with touch screens than without. The overall adoption of a touch screen desktop computer has been slow mostly because of the cost. We are seeing the price going under the $1,000 mark. This makes ...

Social Responsible Buying

Last week the name Foxconn and Apple were in all the headlines. It was not about great profits, or some new electronic gadget. It was about the inhumane treatment of the workers in China. What is interesting to note is that Foxconn does not just manufacture electronics for Apple. Foxconn manufacture over 50% of the electronics sold in the United States. Mistreatment of works or labors misbeh...

Secrets of Shopping Wal Mart

Midday on any Saturday or Sunday, at Wal Mart, finds families and couples getting their weekly shopping done. We are at the end of January. People are starting to recover from the Christmas shopping madness. Walking we were greeted by a your 60 oriental lady. I think it is great that Wal Mart seek to find jobs for elderly on fixed incomes. After a quick stop by the cosmetic section for some...

Search for a Practical Usable Tablet

Since before Thanksgiving I have been slowing giving into the idea of getting a tablet. I have looked at all the major brands of tablets and eReaders. I have been trying to imagine how often I would use it. I watch how other people would use their tablets. While attending a local trade show I noticed a large majority of the vendors were using iPads. There were only a few who had other tablets....

Camera Recon – Flip Ultra Camcorder

Posted By: TSN Boise on April 15, 2010 in Photography - Comments: 2 Comments »

The Flip Ultra Camcorder has been around for a few years. In the United States, it has not really been that popular.

Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation is a unique shape for a camcorder. In fact it looks a little about a camera. The Flip Ulta Camcorder 2nd Generation maybe the best camcorder for a the average amateur videographer of 2010.

Before we get to far along there are two models of the Flip Ultra. There is the standard lightweight Flip Ultra camera that allows you to capture and share low-resolution video. Then there is the Flip Ultra HD, which shoots video in HD.

Both HD and non-HD cameras come with internal memory. The FlipShare software is compatible with both Mac and Windows machines. They both have the side flip out USB connector.

The Flip Ultra HD model adds more than just HD video. The HD model gives you 8 gigabytes of storage as opposed to the 4 gigabytes in the standard Flip. The available rechargeable battery, and larger record button makes the HD model more attractive.

The only real negative I found was there no memory card slot. This limits to 2 hours of recording video.

You can pick up the Flip Ultra for under $120. While the Flip Ultra HD comes in under $150.

Bottom-line: To take videos and upload them to YouTube. I would like to of have seen an optical zoom, but this is a carry around camera so we can capture those great moments we see on You Tube.

The Flip Ultra HD is the best deal with its’ rechargeable battery and higher resolution. I would recommend this camcorder to your teenage son or daughter to record their upcoming summer adventures.
