flip mino contest!

flipmino1I’ve had to keep my mouth shut about this product for so long, and it’s actually been painful. From the time I witnessed its supercool features until about 5 minutes ago, I’ve been bursting at the seams wanting to spread my love. Here we go…

From the creators of the Flip video camera comes the superslim, incredibly chic Flip Mino. The size of a pocket digital camera, the Flip Mino takes a-ma-zing crystal clear video footage that is stored on internal data, waiting to be uploaded onto your computer through a flip-out USB key. This fab-fabby-fabulous camera’s software comes with all the trimmings as well, allowing you to edit footage, create still images and send videos through a private link to avoid massive e-mail files (or upload directly to YouTube, for all those attention-seekers).

I am over-the-moon obsessed with my Flip Mino and now, I want to give you a chance to win one for yourself! All you have to do to enter to win is leave a comment below telling me what cool things you would shoot with your Flip Mino, and I’ll pick the best comment as the winner.

Good luck, fellow techies!

*Contest closes June 30th, 2009. Open to all residents of Canada, except those in Quebec. Not open to any Transcontinental Media employees, their families, or any other persons with whom they reside.*

I have to say, I’m absolutely loving the Flip Ultra digital video camera. It’s small, it’s cute, it’s so easy to use (I didn’t even read the instructions!) – what’s not to love? It’s available in black, white and three sherbet-bright colours (pink, orange and green), and at $159.99, it’s priced well below many other video cameras. I’ve been toting mine with me everywhere, capturing family events, the adorable antics of my cats and random scenes around town. The USB arm means no hunting for a cable to connect the camera to the computer (Mac or PC) for importing, and built-in software is said to make editing and sharing easy (honestly, I haven’t done anything with my videos yet, beyond just sticking them in a file – I’ll keep you posted on how I fare on this end). Video is limited to 60 minutes max, but so far I haven’t found this to be a problem – really, no one needs to see an hour of footage on the raccoons who prowl my neighbourhood (and back porch!).

Price: $159.99

Available at: Wal-Mart. The Flip Ultra Video for more info.
