The Flip UltraHD camcorders are an incredibly portable, pocket-sized HD camcorder with a simple interface and one-touch recording capabilities, allowing you to start recording within seconds after pulling the gadget out of your pocket. This product is one of the latest fads amongst the web 2.0 generation and is an absolute must for all you budding YouTube producers or reporters, it is also compact enough to be taken on nights out or to personal events such as weddings, or even to catch vacation clips. The camera captures 120 minutes of HD video on the built in 8gb of memory with no tapes, DVDs, or additional memory cards required at any time. A flip-out USB arm plugs directly into your PC or Mac to launch the built in FlipShare software with no installation whatsoever ever, this software includes editing features and allows you to upload your video directly to video sharing sites such as YouTube or Myspace videos within seconds.

The Flip UltraHD comes with an AA battery pack which is fully rechargeable when the product is linked to your computer via it's USB port, and the product also supports normal AA batteries should you wish to carry emergency spares or know that computer access may be limited. A 2" color LCD screen plays back your movies and allows deletion at any stage to free up memory space, with a particularly pleasing aspect being it's 'anti-glare' features.

The camcorder records at 16:9 wide-screen, HD720p (1820 x 720) and saves to MP4 format, a HDMI output also provides you with the option of watching videos directly on your HDTV. The camcorder which is marketed with the slogan "The World’s Simplest HD Camcorder" and that claim is probably reasonably accurate, further supported by it's organizational options, which allow you to simple drag and drop videos into files or take a freeze-frame of every 1 second of your video/film. I believe that everybody should own one of these, whether you are a student, journalist, or estate agent, or even just somebody that want's to have some affordable fun in their free time!
