Question by anonymous: Should I get a Flip Ultra F260?
I have a 9 month old baby boy and I would like a very portable camcorder that I can take with us places and to generally use around the house. I’ve been looking into the Flip Ultra F260. It is affordable ($ 109 at Walmart) and has 60 minutes of filming which should be plenty as I can always download our movies on to the computer when we get home. I am aware that there is no space for external memory cards. I am impressed with the description of the software that it comes with. Supposedly the software allows you to edit your videos and even add music. It also lets you take still pictures from video clips and makes it very easy to email the clips to friends and family. All of the reviews sound really positive, but I want to make sure it is a good match for me before I buy it.
Here are my questions:
1.) Is the software really as great and as easy to use as it sounds?
2.) How easy is it to burn your videos from the camera to a DVD that can be played on a regular DVD player?
3.) How is the battery life of the regular AA batteries and should I invest in the rechargeable battery pack for it?
4.) If you have the Ultra, how has it worked out for you or if you have another camera, would you recommend it instead.
Thanks for any and all answers!
