The Flip Comes To Canada

Wednesday June 4, 2008 

Okay, this is something I’ve just got to have a look at.  According to Tyler, the Flip Ultra is now available in Canada, initially at Wal-Mart, but eventually at other retailers for about $149.00Flip Ultra

According to the press release that they put out, the Flip is the second highest-selling camcorder in the U.S. - only seven months after its release.

I’m currently using a Canon E550 Super-8 camcorder for any video that I need to shoot, but it’s time for something a little more modern.  Getting the tape digitized is not always the easiest task, and the USB interface on the Flip would make things so much simpler.

Although shooting video isn’t something that I do a whole lot of, this is most likely due to the fact that using the E550 is cumbersome, and the lack of digital versions makes it a lot tougher to produce DVDs of what I shoot. 

So, if anyone’s looking to have a review done on the Flip, and would like to furnish a review unit, I’d be more than happy to write it up and send it back.  Otherwise, I’ll eventually pick one up myself.

    I’d love to help out, but it’s been a while since I’ve been able to hold onto $150 for more then a minute lol.

Got something to say?
