The Ultra girlie camcorder

While we at Tech Boutique would be among the first to advocate equal rights, we would also defend the female right to like pink.

So, casting around for the best pink gadgets on the market today, we were surprised to find the Flip Ultra, first introduced in 2009, is still the best all-round pocket camcorder for the money – that comes in pink.

Granted, there is a plethora of pink digital cameras to choose from, some of which also shoot video – the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W320 for around £109 comes to mind. And there’s even an imaginatively named web site devoted to them, called pinkdigitalcamera.co.uk.

But the Flip Ultra shares the same big screen and the rechargeable/replaceable battery, as its Flip UltraHD big brother. It has a smaller 4GB of memory and of course only SD video-out, but offers easy one-touch recording of two hours worth of footage at 640×480 resolution, while saving on messy cables with its built-in USB connector. Best of all, you can get it in a combination of white and black, silver, yellow or pink, and you still can pick one up today from the likes of Tesco.com for £70 – bargain!
