Our reporters have used them to produce several hundred news videos at knoxnews.com, a newspaper Web site. There are many instances where a better camera would be the most appropriate tool, but for breaking news or a short video "sound bite," the form factor, simplicity of use and quality it delivers are hard to beat. The newer "ultra" model has noticeable improved sound. Here's an example used with a feature story on a workshop in Galtinburg, Tenn., for ventriloguists of all people. http://video.syndication.msn.com/v/Legacy.aspx?g=695b6446-aea2-476e-820a-cb2621b08461&f=tnknn Enjoy.

(love the FlipVideo though) Diekmann is an editor only by name, in reality he’s the biggest scumbag in the industry and what he does is as far from anything called journalism as a monkey from Thomas Pynchon.

One gadget, stills and video, less to carry/charge, keep track of.

He pays people to observe their neighbours, to be bystanders in accidents. In one case, an idiot filmed how a woman nearly drowned in a river. The guy just thought about selling the metarial to diekmanns "biggest paper" (which normally has stories for simple minded people about german nazi-ufos and evil foreigners, who endanger the german population). Sorry, but I don´t think that positively about those tiny cameras.. its just more junk-information everywhere. If you ever read Stanislaw Lem, may you know what I mean). I really hate Kai Diekmann.
