Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra

 

This simple point-and-shoot camcorder does away with all the extras and lets users do what they really want: capture video.

Improved video quality ; Extraordinarily simple operation ; Easy video transfer and uploading to the Internet ; Light, compact body design

No optical zoom ; Small, low-resolution LCD display ; No still-image capabilities

In this day and age, most user-generated video ends up as YouTube clips, a role for which the Flip Video Ultra is perfectly suited. It's low price, portability, strong software, and remarkably decent movie-making capabilities make this an ideal Web 2.0...

Review: Pure Digital Flip Ultra HD

 

The headlining Flip camera gets HD and is better for the move.

HD video at a still-affordable price ; Good form factor; HDMI out is new ; Very user-friendly hardware and software ; Much more storage; longer recording than Mino HD ; Replaceable battery

No optical zoom; same image quality as before ; FlipShare is quick but still limited

The Ultra HD is Pure Digital's flagship camcorder and carries 8GB of memory in addition to its high definition (720p) recording. Flip also offers the small form factor Flip Mino HD. It commands a thirty dollar price premium for the smaller size, b

Broken in 2 years

 

It just stopped working after 2 years. IT worked good in the beginning, but then just stopped. While it worked, it had no zoom to speak of, but it was convenient. Anyway, I can't give anything above 1 star if it doesn't last more than 5 years.
