I asked my husband who works in electronics and he recommended kodak over the flip. <br /><br />I guess you just need to upgrade your DSLR since the newer models got a firmware upgrade for autofocus during video capture :) And don't capture in weird frames per second anymore.

It took us literally over a month to come to this conclusion! <br /><br />I'm not due until the end of November, so it will be nice for me to see your experience first.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16183905996066913341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-31867051318471027592010-08-01T22:11:47.584-04:002010-08-01T22:11:47.584-04:00Hi Catherine--

As for low light, I haven't used it in that yet, but I bought ours off of Amazon, that was the cheapest I could find it and there was a reviewer there that had a video showing it in low light and it seemed to work really well. Hope this helps out some!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379210592046775520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-29299530019918197462010-07-31T09:48:23.790-04:002010-07-31T09:48:23.790-04:00I can only speak on the iphone part.

I always have signal even when playing hide n seek with my twins. My bills are always correct.<br /><br />Now the iPhone, I was a blackberry girl until it crashed. It was cheaper to get the iPhone vs the blackberry bold. You couldnt pay me to get another phone!!! I have the 3Gs, my hubby has the 4. I'll get the new one after I make other purchases that I want. I got this phone last year so its still fairly new.Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946026044442551017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-8949964561250693902010-07-30T15:16:39.794-04:002010-07-30T15:16:39.794-04:00Erin--This is why we don't want to spend very ...Erin--This is why we don't want to spend very much money on this thing! And although I don't want to labor over the decision, I do want to make sure we're getting the best camera for the price. I research everything; I'm a researcher! :) And here's hoping that Verizon gets the iPhone in January, eh?<br /><br />Krystie--Jealous of the iPhones. Seriously.<br /><br />Gretchen--So happy to hear you're happy with the Zi8. Hopefully you'll check back here and see this, as I have a question for you: Do you find that you have the need to use the macro setting often? Two things that are holding us back from the Playsport are that it lacks the macro setting, and also doesn't have the pull-out USB connection that the Zi8 has. With a baby, when you're having to pretty much stand over them or hold them when trying to get smiles and such, it seems like the macro setting could come in handy, as opposed to having to be 2-3 ft. away to have the thing focus, you know? Just curious what your experience has been. Also, have you used it much in low light? Are you still pretty happy with it in those situations?<br /><br />Caren--We're hoping that Verizon gets the iPhone. Seriously, seriously hoping. That would be the best case scenario EVER. And don't worry, we are soooo planning on getting a Mac when our current computer dies. We'd probably have it already if we didn't have the space constraints. Problem is that we really want the iMac but no longer have an office space thanks to the impending arrival of a certain little baby! :) We're thinking we have to move, THEN buy an iMac. Hence the fingers crossed that our dino laptop holds out for a while longer...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838246429529148138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-33058712461071188242010-07-30T07:26:40.630-04:002010-07-30T07:26:40.630-04:00i have zero advice for video cameras but I have tw...i have zero advice for video cameras but I have two opinions about your phone/computer situation:<br /><br />1. Do not leave Verizon. AT&T is the worst service. My husband has the iphone and while its a fun gadget he never gets service in our house and other random areas near us. Its so frustrating and now that I have the droid incredible, he's thinking of switching so he can have the full package.<br /><br />2. when your computer dies...buy yourself the macbook or whatever other apple computer you are eyeing up. you will never look back. We bought our macbook two years ago and it runs the same as it did the day we bought it. yes, they are super expensive but in the long run you save because you won't need to buy another one in 2 or 3 years. <br /><br />ok..stepping off my soapbox now! good luck with the video situation.carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313347697587955838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-15989354044839970282010-07-30T05:53:09.909-04:002010-07-30T05:53:09.909-04:00We have the Kodak Zi8, we got it when our little o...We have the Kodak Zi8, we got it when our little one arrived, it takes really great video, the sound is a little quiet, but you can't beat the HD quality video it takes for what that little camera costs. But I didn't know there was a comparable waterproof one, I think I would lean towards that if they are very similar. But I think for the price you can't go wrong either way.Gretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-73826995850689598782010-07-29T22:33:39.792-04:002010-07-29T22:33:39.792-04:00We own the new ultra HD flip.

In the end, the price was on par, the quality is good ( well good enough for a small video camera) and it's REALLY user friendly.<br /><br />Our contract is up with tmobile and we'll be getting the new iphones in October.

And considering how fast everything becomes outdated, I wouldn't labor over the decision too much because you'll be getting a new one in a few years.<br /><br />And the iphone is awesome, but we miss Verizon. Seriously hoping Verizon gets the iphone in January so we can switch back.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907232331655066314noreply@blogger.com
