unioncountyslayer Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I don't have a flip, but have a Kodak Playsport, which is very similar. I love it! I've heard nothing but good reviews on the flip cameras, but I decided on the Kodak because it's rugged, waterproof and can video underwater up to 10 feet. They retail for around $149.99 but I found one on Amazon that included the bundle (small tripod, memory card and remote) for $115 http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/PLAYSPORT_Video_Camera__Zx3/productID.169976100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I have an older version of the flip that we actually used to film church services, while we were in the middle of construction on our new building. We met in our gym and had no capable way of filming services, so I decided to try one and surprisingly enough, they produced good video and sound and were super easy to use.

m gardner Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I've got one and love it. You can do snapshots too on the computer later. I dropped it 10 feet on some rocks and it's still fine. I'm challenged too and have no trouble with it. The youtube videos and pics I put on here are from my Flip HD. Check carefully for prices we just got 2 for $110.00 on sale. It's over now unfortunately. Ebay usually has some. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for something that leans a lot more toward the "easy" end of the spectrum than the "great quality" end, but don't want something thats so crappy they won't use it.

I'm not sure about the flips, but my playsport takes full 1080p HD video, and has 4 buttons. Even a dummy can use them. My Dad, who can't work a TV remote, can operate my camera, haha!
