Vlogging is taking over the blogosphere, are you ready? Here are five great video cameras that will get you camera ready in no time.

The Flip Ultra HD
The flip camera launched a new wave of handheld video cameras with their ultra slick ultra mini Flip video camera. Now they have 4 different cameras in a variety of colors.

Features: The Flip Ultra HD has a recording time of 120 minutes with 8GB of internal memory. Video Resolution is 1280 x 720. The Flip has a built-in wide range stereo microphone. It’s available in black or white and operates on two AA batteries.  However, a rechargeable battery pack is available.

If you are looking for a camera that is easy to use, then the Flip is for you. You can make minor edits to the videos and easily upload to your favorite video sharing site.

Price: $149.99 to $229.99.

 

 

 

 

 

Creative Pocket Vado HD
The Creatvie Vado is another ultra slim video camera; however, instead of AA batteries you need to charge this one via a USB port. The Vado is available in pink and silver and the HD is available in charcoal.

Features: The Creative Vado has a recording capacity of 4 hours with 8GB of memory. Video resolution 1280 x 720. Some other great features include Built-in flexi USB connector, 2x Digital Zoom and 2 hours of battery life.

I love the Silicon skin that helps keep the camera in place. While I had some issues using the software with Microsoft Vista it is also easy to use and you don’t have to download any software to edit the video.

Price: You can purchase the Vado HD for $229.99 however there is a non HD available for $99.99. 

 

 

 

Kodak Zx1 Pocket Video Camera
The Zx1 is a newbie in the group of ultra slim video cameras. Available in black, blue, red, pink, and yellow.

Features: The Kodak Zx1 has a recording capacity of up to 10 hours with the help of expandable SD/SDHC card slot that can hold up to 32GB. Video resolution is 1280 x 720 with 128MB internal memory.

I love the fact that the base model of the camera is available as HD. While this camera isn’t as easy to use as the Flip or Vado it comes packed with accessories and features.

Price: $149.00 - $159.99

 

 

 

 

Sony Webbie HD MP4 Camera
The Webbie is another great ultra video camera with the backing of a very powerful brand. Available in electric purple, rust orange and classic silver.

Features: The RCA Small Wonder allows you to shoot 30 minutes of digital video. You can easily download video through built-in software. An expandable SD card slot will allow you to record up to 4 hours of video.
