This year for father's day my wife bought me the Flip.  While everything is going HD these days. the personal HD cameras are a bit too expensive right now.  I had decided to stick with the video functions of my point-and-shoot camera.  I figured it would get me by for a while until the HD cameras drop in price a bit more.  However my wife had other plans, and I'm very happy for it.  With the forthcoming birth of our first child, she thought the event warranted something a little better.  So she bought me the Flip.  It's not an HD camera, but it's a small (about the size of a cigarette box) and super easy to use video camera that produces remarkably good video quality.

So I had to take the Flip for a test-drive.  As you can see, I mean that literally.  I recorded various video clips that I strung together into a little video using Windows Movie Maker.   The results have been uploaded to YouTube.  The results in YouTube aren't representative of the real video quality of the Flip, but you'll get the general idea.
