Craig White from hosertown, Canada writes: Where exactly can you buy The Flip in Canada? I tried ordering it directly from the manufacturer's website but they only take orders from the continental U.S. I contacted their order dept and they said it would come out sometime this summer in Canada but they didn't say where.

I think mine is the first EZ200 video to be posted on YouTube. The quality was a bit cleaner and clearer before YouTube did the conversion/compression.

Larry Richardson from United States writes: These cams do NOT have 'hard drives.' They're flash-based, with built-in and/or removable memory. This inherent simplicity makes their robustness, low price, and small size possible.

Kitty Burgers from Hamilton, Canada writes: I don't see what is attractive about any of these video cams. Most still cams have a video mode that rivals any of the models listed here, plus you get the added advantage of only needing one device that take fantastic still shot as well. Even modestly priced digital cameras take better videos than any of these.
