I have to admit I am hopeless when it comes to video cameras. I am like every Spirited Woman out there when it comes to viewing videos - I love it! I am very good at taking videos but how do I upload them? I can't find that cord, I don't know how to do it and now I have a million little tapes from when my children were babies and my best friend got married.
Guess what? I discovered the perfect product to save me from my disconnect! The Flip Video Camcorder! It's only about $149.00 (some are $129.00) at Target and other stores such as Walmart and Best Buy. Users reviews are saying "easy to use", "light" and "I carry it everywhere". I have a friend who works for a popular entertainment TV show and they have every crew member carry one around for B-roll. I took it to my daughter's soccer game this weekend and all the parents gathered around to check out how easy it is.
You can shoot 60 minutes of video, plug it into your computer and it automatically uploads the video AND you can upload straight to YouTube. It's small and stylish (with very cute carriers you can buy in different colors to go with all your dresses - the black velvet is coming to the next wedding with me as my date). You can also buy an underwater cover and take it to the beach or pool. It runs off of AA batteries (in fact, some of the models get charged when you plug them into your computer) and you can playback on your TV too if you like to view your videos that way. So now you can enter the Spirited Woman Video Contest right away. No excuses.
