Flip Video Mino Camera

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Portable Audio / Video

You know how we covet our Flipvideo. It seems they are at it again with the Mino, a smaller but slightly more expensive model in black or silver. At a size of 3.9 x 2 x 0.6-inches, it’s 2GB flash can hold up to an hour of video. The four buttons control zoom, audio volume, and video playback. The Mino has built-in integration with AOL Video and MySpace video players, a 2x digital zoom, and a 1.5-inch display. And although we don’t have a problem with ours because our eneloop batteries last for eons, this Flip has included rechargeable batteries that charge by USB, making it well worth the $179.00 price tag.

Four More Reasons to Go eneloop

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Handhelds, Hot Deals, Portable Audio / Video, Storage

We have extolled the virtues of Sanyo’s rechargeable batteries before, but we are so psyched on them that we found more reasons to invest in them.

• One eneloop = 1000 alkaline batteries.
• We still haven’t had to recharge them after a month of constant use.
• You can use eneloops in most other brands’ chargers.
• With a free coupon when we bought them, we got these super-kewl adaptors. You only need one AA battery in each to turn them into C or D batteries.

No, we don’t work for the company, but it is certainly a blessing to find a product that does what is says. We would like everyone to be enelooped.
