@Tim

My personal preference is this:
for mobile video shooting or when I'm out with the family, I use my flip.

If I'm recording video for a product, I use my tape-based Sony camcorder (with all the "prosumer" attachments).

I haven't look at other things closely. Guess the bulk of my disposable income goes into my computer?

Thanks for the comment, Andrew! What are your thoughts on the Flip alternatives, such as the Kodak and RCA Small Wonder? Not as portable?

They both have external memory, something that appeals to me, but they are a bit bigger.

The flip wins out for portability.
For web videos, the flip is perfect

The other cameras are pretty handy, esp if you're doing premium videos or stuff you plan to sell (like training/tutorials) or plan to burn to DVD, but they're usually way bulkier.

I've been thinking a lot about buying the Ultra lately. It has a wider lens and better microphone.. Unfortunately it's a bit bulkier for my pocket, but I won't have to be so far away from the tripod and can do some handheld stuff now.

Or maybe I can get one for free......

I am not a flip owner myself, but my opinion is that there are options out there and it is a give and take whatever way you go. The cameras now that do record 720P HD video are actually quite nice. My boss in DC owns a Canon PowerShot something or other that shoots 720P and it has pretty darn good quality. He records portions of concerts and gets quite nice quality. I would have to say that, for the price, the cameras that also shoot 720P are a better investment.
