Two months ago I solicited recommendations for a compact digital video camcorder. After reading your comments and dozens of online reviews (what did we do before online reviews? I feel paralyzed when at the store making any purchase greater than $10. I must have internet access to check the reviews and price shop first.), I settled on the Flip Ultra HD. I love it. So sleek, so tiny, such good video quality for a reasonable price!
Here are a few test clips. I'm trying to decide which online video sharing website I like better. Youtube loaded quicker, but I think vimeo is prettier.
The first is of Landon enthusiastically dancing (and sort of singing- I didn't realize he knew some of the words until I watched the clip later) to a Laurie Berkner song- another suggestion from my wonderful readers.
And here, Landon is telling me about his day at daycare. When I look at the video clips from our old camera, I'm so glad we didn't wait to get the new one. I'd be missing out on preserving all this toddler cuteness. Have I mentioned two is my favorite age by FAR? The lingering sweetness plus the newfound sense of independence and humor - I love it.
So cute! Two is lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this. So sweet. Thanks so much for sharing! I can't wait for Eden to be able to talk like that!
ReplyDeletethe video quality is awesome! a friend of mine brought a flip on a recent waterskiing trip and i was so impressed with it.
ReplyDeletehow did you end up liking the photography classes?
Hey p2P, I liked the photography class, though unfortunately I had to miss the last two. I'd like to do another, but maybe just a one-day seminar as my schedule is too unpredictable to commit to four nights over a month. I also really just need to be lectured to for a little while. Our instructor was all about you playing with the camera and figuring things out, which is good, and I get that it's art and shouldn't have a lot of rules, but I need to start out with the rules! I still don't really understand what a lot of the settings do (though of course, I probably would if I'd attended the second half of the classes...).
ReplyDeleteSo overall it was good and I'd recommend the UT informal classes to others, but it wasn't exactly what I needed for my schedule and learning style.
Hey LL, just in case you don't want your real name out there, I noticed its on the vimeo clip link under "credits"...
ReplyDeleteCute videos! Landon is such a lovey!
:)
Thank you MJS! It's fixed. I think.
