__** Handheld Video Cameras **__ Lindsay Hulme The handheld video camera revolutionized the possibilities and capabilities in recording and creating a video. In recent years handheld devices, such as the Flip Camera, made it possible for virtually anyone to create a video and share it with others. Flip cameras are easy to use, even for those who have little experience in filming. These little devices start out at about $129.99 for an hour worth of video. We are now seeing video recording in multiple other types of technology such as smart phones and tablets. All these devices make it quick and easy to capture a video at the push of a button. It has also become easier to take this footage, edit it, and create a short video or movie. Apple has made this process extremely easy. Simply record a video using the iPhone 4, then you can edit it and create your own movie using iMovie, which can all be done on one device.
