Is The "Flip" Slide HD Video Camera Great Or Does It Suck?




CHIEFS 4 L


I am getting the flip slide video camera for my brother and i was wondering is it better than the other flip cameras. is the slide one the best, and how does it preform.


Answer
Depends on what you are using it for...

If you are using it for any kind of action sports then... ITS SUCKS
If you need to capture good audio quality bits then... ITS SUCKS
If you are wanting to upgrade to an "HD" camera and think this is going to do the job... Forget it...

This camera along with all other flip, slide, and small handheld "HD" cameras offer a crappy 480p resolution AT BEST, not the 720p-1080p they boast to have (quality is more than a file type). Obviously since they are so small, any interference in sound (wind, bumps, thuds, laughing in the background when someone busts their face open) is maximized dramatically...

Now if your little brother or whatever he is, is just kind of a chill dude who wants to take some funny videos, play around, doesn't really need a quality camera, then for the price this camera is one of the better cameras of its type.

Again, compared to other flip/handeld/mini HD cameras, this is one of the better cameras. Just dont expect the video to stun you and dont expect to capture your bands newest music video in any kind of HD audio or video quality.

Oh and another good thing about this camera is that its SUPER easy and fast to upload your videos to the web...

Recommend a Photography Camera?

Can anyone recommend a really good camera? i'd like one that stakes really good pictures, sharp action shots, and it be nice if it shot videos?
recommendations?
and id like to spend around $500



Answer
Photography camera infers a camera that is fully adjustable, controlled by the photographer.

That means for your price range of $500 will be enough for an entry level dSLR like the Nikon D3000 or Canon 1000D/XS.

To shoot video, you will have to add another $200 and look at the Nikon D3100 or Canon 500D/T1i

How sharp your images turn out has all to do with your skills. While those cameras are perfectly capable of shooting sharp action shots, you will have to practice for quite a while to learn how to shoot at the peak of action and compose using long lenses. Shooting action or sports, too will require you to buy a second lens later, like the Nikkor 55-300 mm VR or Canon 55-250 mm IS lens. Plan on spending an additional $350 to $400 for that second lens

Buying a lesser camera like a P&S bridge camera has a few drawbacks. 1) they have sensors 15 times smaller than a dSLR 2) shutter lag which makes it difficult to time your shots and 3) what ever lens that comes with it, is what you will have to use until you buy another camera in a few years.
