Recommended: Flip Ultra HD & the little flexy tool called a Gorillapod


Flip Ultra HD & Gorillapod

"It's the photographer, not the camera." That means even your cell phone can capture effective photos if you learn how best to use it.

A handful of rules to explore:

a) Rule of thirds.
b) Get close.
c) Turn off the flash. Steady the camera. Use soft, natural light.
d) Shoot at or around sunset.
e) Use high or low POV.

Video? The Flip Ultra HD is a phenomenal video cam for about $140. I like the picture quality, sound quality, capacity - 2 hours - and pocketability. Rechargeable batteries or use 2 AA batteries.

The Flip Ultra has been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com since the day of its debut, capturing about 13% of the camcorder market, says Wikipedia.

Cisco Systems acquired Pure Digital Technologies, the maker of Flip Video, for $590 million USD in stock in 2009.
