I've been raving about Pure's new Flip Video Camera for months and you readers have repeatedly said you really want one. Luckily the wait is over for desodaro, who is the winner of our giveaway!

The Flip is simple to use, chic and small enough to fit in any bag or purse. It has a 2X zoom and a built-in Flip Video Software Program that launches directly from the camcorder (see the flip out USB arm? It plugs right into your computer). Using the program you can view, organize, and locally archive your videos in a clip-based library system. You can also capture still photos from video clips and edit your videos to create fun montages and TeamSugar ready videos.

If you didn't win, but still want one, you can purchase one from Amazon.

Pure Digital's Flip Video Camera Available Now

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 12:29:07 PDT

You may have noticed the ads for the new Flip Video camera across the The Sugar Network recently. I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you just how fabulous this camera is.

It's gotten a lot of press for being sleek, easy to use and fitting right into your purse or diaper bag, but I fell in love with it because it's just plain simple to use. On top of the usual "power," "play," "delete," and "record" buttons, it features a built-in Flip Video Software Program that launches directly from the camcorder (see the flip out USB arm? It plugs right into your computer). This means you can easily upload videos onto your computer or YouTube without the hassle of buying additional software. For $119, it's a real steal.

You can get your own Pure Digital Flip Video Camera online and in stores at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Costco and Red Envelope. Learn more here.

Fabulous Pure Flip Video Camera

GeekSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 10:30:28 PDT

There's been a lot of talk across the blogosphere about Pure's new Flip Video Camera, but I wasn't sure about it until I got a chance to test it out. How do I feel now? I think it's called love.

I took the Flip Video to one of my sister's dance performances last week and even though I was sitting about 20 rows back, I managed to clearly capture both the dance and the music. After I figured out how to subtly turn the camera on while the crowd was clapping (it makes a tiny beep which seemed to really bother my uptight neighbor), I just pointed it at the stage, pressed the red record button and voilà! I am the next Sofia Coppola.

The Pure Flip Video camera was designed with users like myself in mind. I want to have easy access to a light, portable and quality camcorder, but I'm not ready to commit to a $2,000 device. Because the camera has simple "power," "play," "delete," and "record" buttons, it's virtually fool proof. It has a 2X zoom and allows you to do instant playback like any other camcorder, but unlike any other camcorder, it has a built-in Flip Video Software Program that launches directly from the camcorder (see the flip out USB arm? It plugs right into your computer). Using the program you can view, organize, and locally archive your videos in a clip-based library system. You can also capture still photos from video clips and edit your videos to create fun montages and YouTube ready videos. I've always been the woman that whips out her digital camera at every event to take pictures, but I had never actually used a camcorder because I hate the idea of all the post-shooting work. The Flip Cam kills the need for tapes, memory cards or batteries and packs all your video needs into a sleek, simple camera that will fit in your purse, diaper bag or palm. Even better, the fact that you can capture still photos means you don't have to carry your digital camera too.
