If you want to get into creating videos but do not want to spend much on a camera, then a flipcam<\/a> is a great place to start.<\/p>\nFlips are VERY basic, so they don’t provide a lot of videographer options, but that’s what makes them easy to use. \u00a0You can not have both traits in one camera.<\/p>\n
The final video image you get with a Flip is quite good, as most of them are HD quality.\u00a0 Of course, as with ANY type of camera, you will get the BEST results if you know exactly what you are doing. \u00a0Usually that boils down to your lighting. \u00a0A cheap camera with great lighting will get a \u00a0better image than an excellent camera with crummy lighting.<\/p>\n
The first flip to come out was called The Flip, but the design was so popular, many cameras soon copied the basic design. \u00a0The word “flip” meant that a USB connector was built into the side of the camera and easily flipped out once you were ready to load your video onto your computer. This saved you from needing a cable.<\/p>\n
That is a handy feature if you are creating videos on the go.<\/p>\n
Most flip style cameras cost around $120. Next to a cell phone camera or webcam, flipcams are some of the easiest video cameras to use. If you are looking to make easy, but high quality videos without going ti a lot of trouble, you should look into getting yourself a Flip style camera. I have Kodak Zi8, which is also a flip style camera and I really like it.<\/p>\n
