Hey Carlton,

I have a Kodak Zi8 and a Flip Ultra. I prefer the Zi8. It just does the job for me plus it allows
for me to plug in an external mic. The Flip does not. I paid $150 for each of them on Amazon.
They are both great recorders. There is a lot of good advice on here. Just take your time and check out
some of the reviews and you will pick the best camera that is right for you.

What is the best video recorder to use in order to do videos. I have a web cam that works great, but I want to do some videos in other places. Someone mentioned a flip ultra to me.

I've been using the Kodak Zi8 since last November. I got a $40 stereo external mic from Amazon too & the combo is pretty awesome.

I also really like the fact that I can take stills very quickly with the Zi8 (see http://RunDezRun.com for an Animoto collage I made in a recent charity run - I spent most of the race clicking away with the Zi8 so I could get enough piccies for the collage ).

Cheers,

Dez.
