One of the best purchases Conor and I have ever made is our Flip Mino. We bought it 3 months ago and so far I have taken 156 video clips, adding up to over 80 minutes. I love that it’s so little (it fits perfectly into a pocket on our still camera bag) and I also love that it has the USB plug built right in, which to me means no cords to keep track of! I have made and shared 34 videos, mostly of Holly. These days I seem to whip it out more than our Canon Rebel XT! If you’re thinking about purchasing a video camera, I highly recommend the Flip Mino. We have a Sony camcorder and never really used it. The Mino is just so much more convenient!
