The Flip Ultra HD is the best selling high resolution digital video recorder available today . That's a bold statement to make when you consider the the competition from estabilished digital camera companies such as Kodak, but the numbers don't lie: The every day joe prefers the Flip Ultra HD digital camera.

The main feature of the Flip Ultra HD, and all flip digital video cameras are the inclusion of the small, yet handy USB connector that just flips out from the body of the video recorder. You just plug the entire recorder into your USB outet on your desktop or notebook compute and you're sharing movies. It's that easy. Plug in the Flip, and upload your movies to popular video sharing website like youtube, flickr and facebook.

Simplicity is the theme when using the Flip Ultra HD. Want to record? Hit the big red record button on the back of the Flip Ultra body, and you're recording high definiton video. Yes it is that easy. There's not menus or extra widgets or buttons to fiddle with when recording with the flip video camera.

The flip is an all on one video camera meaning there's no slots for extra memory but you won't need it when you use the flip unless you record video for days on end, the Flip Ultra HD offers 2 hours, or 120 minutes of video recording memory built into the body of the camera. If you're a power user, the flip might not be the best digital video camera for you and you may want to consider other video cameras that offer a memory slot for memory upgrades.

But that comes at a cost. With the Flip Ultra HD you don't have to spend any extra money on memory upgrades for your digital camera - you just buy the flip, charge it (it does ship with a small charge, so you play with the flip when you get it) and you're shooting high definiton video you can share with your friends.

One other drawback, is the Flip Ultra HD is not to be used under water. If you want to get the Flip and take it to the beach or pool, you'll need to be careful orbuy a waterproof digital camera that offers water protection you need for waterproof high definiton movie making this summer.

The Flip Ultra HD is an all in one HD movie video camera that just works great out of the box. If you're looking for a compact HD video recorder this summer, the flip ultra HD is it.
