- NEW FLIP CAMCORDER

I bought a new camcorder today. I'm so excited! It's the Flip Ultra. Great price at $99. Simple to use - 3 buttons - record, zoom, and play. Just my speed. It's about the size of a cell phone so it'll fit in my purse. You can only record 1 hour at a time, but that's all I want. A USB arm flips up and you plug it into your computer to email the video, save it to your computer, or burn a DVD. I LOVE it...and the video quality is pretty good!

- MY NEW CAMERA!

Well, tonight I bit the bullet and bought myself a new camera. I'm really excited about it. I used to have a camera with 10x zoom and loved it so much, so when I saw this one on sale at Costco I thought this might be the camera for me, even though I've never had a Panasonic before. I mentioned it to one of my co-workers today and she said she'd been looking at the same camera and was considering getting one too. When Dr. Kiholm overheard our conversation he said he has one and LOVES it. That did it. Both Kathy and I drove straight to Costco with our $70 off coupons after work and came home with new cameras. Battery is charging. I can't wait to try it out!!!!
