My old point-and-shoot camera did video... and when I upgraded to my Rebel, I gave my camera to my dad because he refuses to buy a new camera until his dies and it's a 2 MP camera. lol I gave it to him - not really thinking that I would no longer be able to shoot any video. There have been several times when Allie has done something adorable and I wanted to catch it on video and couldn't. I'm thinking I need a little camcorder! Nothing fancy, but I want it to be HD. I found the Flip (http://www.amazon.com/Flip-UltraHD-Camcorder-Minutes-Black/dp/B0023B14TK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1273642386&sr=1-1) on Amazon and it's pretty inexpensive ($150) and you don't need any memory cards or anything. I'm just wondering if any of you have this camcorder or one like it that you can recommend. I'd rather not spend any more than $200.

We have a flip and it's a really fun little video camera - very easy to use and to share videos. It's not going to be Academy Award cinematography or anything :D but it's great for catching little moments, especially since it's so small you can take it anywhere.
