Flip minoHD 120 camcorder By John Virata
The Pure Digital Flip Video camera is the most popular camcorder on the market, so much so that Apple's Steve Jobs had it up on stage when he introduced an iPod nano that captures video. The Flip though has gone through several generations and keeps getting better, and with higher quality video capabilities.

Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac By John Virata
When was the last time you turned on your VHS player? That long ago? Well join the club. As old VHS, 8mm, and other analog video tape join the Betamax, the question that remains is how do you archive all those tapes for future viewing? For Windows users, solutions such as Honestech's VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe have been around for a while. Mac users have also had some solutions, but not to the extent that Windows users have.

Flip Video UltraHD with Flip Channels By John Virata
When I first reviewed the Pure Digital Flip camera back in 2007, I liked the camera for its ease of use, video quality, and portability. The video camera pretty much set the video camera world on its ears, with more than 2 million cameras sold since being introduced several years ago--so much so that Cisco Systems snatched up the company. The latest version of the camera, The Flip UltraHD coupled with the latest version of FlipShare, keeps the solution a compelling one.

Flip video delivers new Flip UltraHD By Ko Maruyama
The Ultra HD in many ways is like it's predecessor, the flip. The small camera easily fits into a shirt pocket, or purse, it shoots a HD video image HD -- 1287 20x720, and has an easy to use button interface on the back of the upright camera. However, there are many features that set this camera apart from its previous version, and any of the other competitors' offerings.

Serif MoviePlus X3 By John Virata
Back in the early 1990s, digital video was postage stamp sized, and for consumers, there wasn't really any good software that could easily edit video. This was coupled with the fact that most computers ran on 64MB of memory, and a 2GB hard disk drive fast enough to handle video cost $4000. Fast forward to today and both Windows and Macintosh-based computers include video editing software as a "module" of the operating system, 500GB hard drives can be had for around $100, and most computers ship with 2GB RAM standard.

Flip Mino HD By Ko Maruyama
The Flip Mino HD is an interesting proposition and great HD camera under specific scenarios. A couple weeks ago, I was able to review the Flip Mino in its standard definition format. The Flip Mino HD is like its SD sibling with the exception that it can record at 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second and save as H.264.

G-Technology's G-Drive mini 500GB By John Virata
As consumers take full advantage of the digital gadgetry that has permeated their lives, they have learned more and more about the importance of backing up the data that their devices produce. And the best back up scenarios involve backing up the backup. I learned the hard way. In the last two weeks I've had two external hard drives fail, a Maxtor One Touch III, and a two-year old Seagate 500GB eSATA external drive (in the case of the Seagate, the interface failed, and not the hard drive).

Panasonic SDR SW20 camcorder By David Hague
The Panasonic SDR SW20 does not pretend to be a full blast underwater camera; at a maximum rated depth of 1.5 metres, this is way out of the range a dedicated SCUBA diver wants or needs. But for the shooter who wants a go-anywhere, small and tough camcorder that takes great footage (although only MPEG-4 based), it is just the goods.

Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra By John Virata
I have been a fan of Pure Digital's Flip Video camera ever since I took a look at one last year. I liked the small form factor, the video quality for the price, and the battery life. It is an ideal video camera for those moments when you don't want or need to pull out the more traditional video camera. In fact it is so minuscule that you can take it virtually everywhere you want to go and shoot very good video.
