Flip Cameras to be discontinued!!

What nonsense. I just used my Flip on a trip to Florida to show the Art Deco hotels along Ocean Drive. It's a great little camera for grabbing video to put on your Youtube channel which can then be linked to your blog and Facebook page. Makes no sense to discontinue it. It does have the drawback of not having an audio input and the mic is crap but taking all that into consideration, it still produces 720p video which looks great on the Internet.
Cisco is the villain. Hope something terrible happens to them.

Flip Video Camera Makes Spying on Birds Much Easier
Took my Flip HD camera on a Bogen light stand and a ladder to the bluebird house on the arbor over our driveway, where at least 2 young BBs are being cared for by their parents. By leaving the Flip on a light stand, I could move away and not scare the birds. Got a lot of footage but this segment shows something special: feeding the kiddies by the male, and removing a fecal sac. Many people don't realize that this is how they keep the nests clean. The sac will be dropped some distance from the house location, at one time in and around our swimming pool when some phoebes were nesting nearby.
Love the HD quality of this video and because the camera was fairly close, the sound is good too.I have modified the footage in Quicktime to compress it so the file won't be so large.
Enjoy!

Flip HD makes an appearance.

A new Flip camera demanded that I go out and try it... so I made a quick little video to test it and to see what issues I will face trying to work it into my regular workflow, if possible.

It's currently on my Facebook page (search Marv Parker) since Flip Share makes it easy to upload a rather large file... it's an m4v (m4p?) and I am not sure yet about how much compression takes place. Once I work out the work flow, I will post it here.
Great images, lousy sound capabilities, sacrificed for convenience I guess.
