Like a kid at Christmas

I love new toys. Especially when the new toys are Christmas presents from boyfriends who don't know what to get you, so they make you pick out your own present. Isn't that nice-getting exactly what you want... instead of something that you will most likely only use once or twice and only because you feel obligated because said boyfriend will feel bad if you don't? Yeah, it is nice.

Anyways. New toy= flip video (the Ultra series, to be exact) My main reason for getting this was because I am going to PARIS on THURSDAY and I thought it would be sort of nice to be able to take some videos while I am there. I am sure I'll get a lot more use out of it too, of course. But videos from PARIS was a big perk.

I do have a digital camera that allows me to take video footage, but it eats up my memory card which is pretty annoying. My flip can store up to 60 minutes of video which is awesome.

I just pulled it out of the box today, so I haven't gotten to play around with it too much. But my first reactions are that it is so easy to use! And the videos are a better quality that I would have expected! So far so good, flip vid.

My first video is just of the view from my apartment.... Pretty basic. I was just mostly playing around.... I need to work on my shaky videography, I know...
