Flipped out

[Micah Mcdowell]

On one hand, I’m absolutely surprised that they can’t figure out how to make money from those little cameras, considering how many seem to have flown off the shelves. Flip has almost become a genericized trademark for “tiny, lousy video camera.”

On the other hand, I HATE the shaky footage with awful tin-can audio, usually with the camera held sideways so everything is recorded with a portrait aspect ratio (!). I won’t shed a tear if I never have to use b-roll shot by an amateur with a Flip ever again.

I won a flip cam in a Pepsi Max competition! Was well chuffed.

I sold it on ebay immediately.

I then finally had enough money to buy a 550d (T2i)!
