Proof that they are not in it for us. Flip / Red and the like are turning this industry around by selling a camera, not a commodity. Could the flip be better - yes. Cheaper? No. It's a carefull balance of cost vs features that I think they got right. What really seperates Red and Flip from the others is marketing and responsivness to customers (can you put a custom skin on your Canon? I think not) Sony and Canon could invade and dominate this space, but only at the cost of gutting the market for there (20 odd) other cameras in the lower end. Proof that they are not in it for us.

I just wish that it'd happen faster (which I think it will). Especially if the makers of small point-n-shoot camera figure out that they can be in the same space as the flip.

I still want a flip, knowing it's picture isn't a good either. It's just the sheer usablity of the flip's form factor and size that still attracts me. Even as tiny as my HF10 is (it's still getting called 'My Little Pony') I can't ALWAYS have it with me.
