The Flip Video Camera | Low Light

The Flip Video Camera is nearly the perfect video camera and that is evident by the sales since 2008. Already the Flip has captured a huge percentage of the video camera market.

Why? The Flip is inexpensive, easy to use and simple to operate.

The Flip camera does not come with a built in light for low level light situations, like a darkened ballroom or outdoors. Some users have complained that their Flip videos indoors during nighttime events have a tendancy to come out grainy or low quality.

I have used my Flip to record indoor events at some differennt places and while natural light gives a better recording, some indoor lights are enough for decent quality.

Flip does have an LED light accessory:

 I found this light accessory online and it looks very ungainly to use - it is bigger than the Flip! It is LED and the product advertisement says it is "dimmable" but the only review I found for it says there is no dimming switch.

For me, I use the Flip where it works best and because of it's small size, I can take my camera just about anywhere. Unlike a traditional video camera, which has a power recharger and all those cords, the Flip runs on regular batteries which makes it even better to use.
