The Flip UltraHD by Pure Digital (recently acquired by Cisco Systems) is really an innovation. With its palm-size physical dimensions (4.25″ x 2.19″ x 1.17″ (H x W x D), 1280 x 720 resolution, 16:9 HD aspect ratio, 8gb memory / 2 hours recording time, dead-simple file management / video editing software included in the camera and price tag under $200 US, one can hardly go wrong for creating personal videos or video location scouting. (1280 x 720 x 72dpi jpg still images of passable quality for most location scouting needs can be saved from video as well.)
There are, however, a few features that seem lacking in the UltraHD out-of-the-box, foremost for me as follows:

I have owned GPS equipment for some time for work as a film / photo location scout – however, it is only recently I have been really interested in “playing around” with the technology. I use photography extensively in my work so I am especially interested in geotagging photos and creating presentations that contain both visual and geospatial information.

My office is located and I live in Clifton, NJ, about 10 miles from midtown Manhattan. It’s a pretty typical north New Jersey working-class town, we have a city hall, a high school and other lower schools, a number of small business storefronts, and shopping mall at the edge of town. We also have a number of parks and one that I drive or walk (past or thru) often is Eddie Mayo Field, on Clifton Avenue.
