The Flip has been all the rage and I was going to buy it, but I didn't like a lot of things about it. I wanted the memory card to be replaceable, and the flip did not provide that feature. I also wanted more options like zooming and image stabilization, which the flip did not confer.
I finally found all that I was looking for and more, in the new, adorable, little SANYO Xacti E1 camcorder. Tiny, tiny and in a cool turquoise color (hey, don't laugh, I'm a girl and these things do matter to me!),this little wonder fits in the palm of my hand and it does the work that other bulky cameras can't even touch. It zooms big time. The images are sharp and clear. It is extraordinarily easy to use. It records everything on a standard flash disk that you can just pop right into your laptop without any cumbersome cables. It doubles up as a normal camera for picture taking and it records my podcasts with great sound quality. The beautiful thing about it is that it's waterproof too, which helps quite a bit, since I'm a bit of a klutz.
I used my little nano camcorder yesterday and I was so impressed with my very first videos. Judge for yourself! Here are some clips I took yesterday. Remember that I've had no training on it (my better half just taught me how to turn it on and get access to the memory disk, that's all). I figured out how to upload the videos on to YouTube (it's a no brainer - just click "upload"). Today I left my other camera at home; I think this little wonder will be my one and only from now on.
I plan on videotaping all my listings and having them posted on YouTube(I'm "MyrtleBeachGuru" on YouTube) with a link on each one of my e-mails. I will also embed them on the websites I've created for each one of my listings. Not too shabby...
I love my new NanoCamcorder! The best part about it? The cost: right around $ 200 at Costco. Amazing, but true!
