Description

The Flip Ultra, the latest model, has been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com since its debut, capturing about 13% of the camcorder market. It is simple to use, lacking most of the features of more advanced cameras, but captures video in 640x480 resolution at 30 frames per second. The camera lacks a memory card extension slot but can be connected to a computer with its pop-out USB connector, without the need for a cable. The company was acquired by Cisco in 2009, and in April 2011, Cisco announced it was shutting down the Flip line.
