The simple Flip Video camcorder heralds a time when every journalist carries a video camera. I bought a Flip Video camcorder for my wife for mother's day. At under $150, it was a bargain. But the primary motivation was having a camera she sould depend upon. Our simple DV camcorder took great video, but seemed to always need charging, or a new tape, and thus wasn't available at the spur of the moment. Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:58:00 MST
