This automated RSS Feed post is about: It’s not Flip Wilson, Flipper, or me doing flips, it’s a new little gadget that hit shelves on September 12th.
I received this ghic chic pocket sized (that fits perfectly in the Scottevest hoodie ) video camera on Thursday. I must say that I’m very impressed with the make, convenience and ease of use for this little camcorder.
Not only does it record up to 60 minutes of anything you feel other people would want to view; With just a little “flip” you can connect the entire camera into your USB port and upload it to your computer, send it off to e-mail or edit it on the spot.

Features:
One touch recording with 2x zoom
Instant on-camera playback and delete
High-speed video sharing from any PC or Mac
One-click emailing of videos and video greeting cards
Cusgtom editing of movie mixes, with the option to set your own music
Capture of still photos from video
Built in tri-pod mount
Convenient DVD processing option at over 9,400 one hour labs nationwide
It has a flash memory and it’s non-upgradable but with the price $179.00 for 2GB and great sound quality (it’s all you really need if you just wish to capture your video game triumph, a co-worker making a fool of themselves, or that sponaneous moment in which you always wished you had a camcorder handy to share the memory) it does the job.
My camera is white/silver, however you can get it in black, pink and orange as well.
It was SO easy to hook up to my television and pretend I was a star… I’m thinking it’s time to capture the Xbox karaoke to promote myself as the next J-Pop sensation!
I took quite a bit of footage, including my confrontation with the first big bad on Resident Evil 4, but after capturing me screaming like a boy- I decided to save the remaining shreds of my cool factor and wait until I increase my skills a little more on that game before I capture it for all eternity.
Instead of awesome game playing or karaoke… you’ll see a mini-tour of my apartment (as the sun was setting so it started to get a little dark) as I wanted to hurry and put my review on the site before the work week swallowed me whole.
I definitely deem this product ghic chic worthy as it really is attractive, convenient, SO easy to use, built in software and omg it’s small without the need to whittle your finger tips so you can use it. It’s going to become a staple for my site and my daily life. Jonathon- you’ve been warned.
