andreabeth Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I was looking at some of these too. But I don't get it with the mini dvd's. Do they play in a dvd player? I look for the viewing for the long run.... like if the camera goes bad, how do you view them. I had a 8 mm and then I had to hook it to dvd recorder to convert, and then it went bad. andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjarobert Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Check out flip video (currently $30 rebate, $149.99). It's nice and small. Will fit in your pocket. Operates on 2 AA batteries. And has 2GB internal memory (no expansion) for 60 minutes of video. It has a built-in USB plug and on-board software for easy video transfer to computer. It also has a built-in microphone. Other tech specs (http://www.amazon.com/Video-Ultra-Camcorder-60-Minutes-Black/dp/tech-data/B000V1PXMI/ref=de_a_smtd?ie=UTF8&qid=1195664428&sr=8-2). I was very surprised at the performance of this thing. I originally bought the 30-minute model at wal-mart for $149.99 + tax, but returned it for the deal on Amazon.

Those fancy slot-fed players probably won't play them correctly. You'll need to finalize the DVDs but that will be covered in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrey66 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I've been researching camcorders and have read review after review for awhile now and the one I keep looking at is a Sony. It is featured in the Best Buy BF ad as a package deal for $319. This by far is best deal on this camcorder and is definitely worth the extra money if you have it to spend. Hope this helps.
