The Flip's not going to cost much, but it's going to look terrible. Good luck convincing your executives to let you keep posting videos that are grainy, shaky and sound terrible.

Mark/Ron, great spot..The record/releasing point was awesome..

Before we start killing the FlipHD, let's have an honest assessment about its limitations: Sound and lens capability..But, with effort and preparation, those are issues that can be resolved on set..

Sorry Stacy, but picture quality for the $$ is stunning, the versatility of the product, and the ease of use post-wise is ridiculously simple, and the interface for e-mailing and posting is what the future holds, and majors like Canon and Apple have to seriously consider adapting..

But these are just toolsthe over-arching point for corporate video is this"if you lack the gutspleasego home"..

Ask GM..

I agree with Ron about the power of video on the web... but home video will always look like home video. Most companies don't want to come across as cheap and ordinary. I'd say do it right or don't do it... you'll be better off with nothing.
