In recent news the Flip Video Ultra (a compact digital camcorder) was released to Canadian consumers and it looks like it will be a very popular electronic item for those gadget collectors. Many people (including bloggers) will be grabbing at this hot commodity here in Canada especially those who wish to digitally document the life around them and have others follow in video format.
What is the Flip Video Ultra digital camcorder? Read the following excerpt from the press release:
Today marks the Canadian launch of the Flip Video™ Ultra Series – a next-generation line of highly compact digital camcorders that make it easier than ever for on-the-go consumers to capture and share life’s moments on video. Created by Pure Digital Technologies, the slim-sized camcorders provide unmatched simplicity and portability for capturing, editing, and sharing high quality video – anytime, anywhere.
Flip Video represents an entirely new category of camcorder that puts the power of video in the pockets of everyday consumers. Elegant in their simplicity, Flip Video camcorders are the world’s first with on-board software to enable editing, organizing, and seamless video uploading to YouTube, MySpace, and other video sharing sites. The Flip Video Ultra Series, which quickly became the second-highest selling camcorder in the U.S. after just seven months in market, is the flagship line in Pure Digital’s popular Flip Video family of digital camcorders and the first to become available in Canada.
Available now at Wal-Mart and soon at other major Canadian electronics retailers for $159.99, Flip Video Ultra delivers stunning video and sound quality, even when played on large-screen TVs.
Though I have not personally used the Flip yet, but I hopefully will get to tinker around with it soon. I mean having a compact digital video camcorder would be pretty cool and could come in handy right?

This is exactly what I have been looking for. My manager’s autistic son love using the video camera built into her phone. Do you know if it will output to TV?

According to their specification it makes mention of NTSC cable included but doesn’t say what format like S-Video, Composite, etc. I would assume Composite.
