19 inch LCD for $99 isn't too shabby.

Very tempting to grab the 2 camera security system; even though I really don't have a real use for it. But for $99.........

Yeah, but watch out for the "gotchas".

Each camera needs to be plugged in, so you'll need an outlet near each one.

You will need to hook the receiver up to something if you want to record the cameras. But the receiver can only "look" at one camera at a time (you can set it to loop between cameras). The cameras say "all weather" yet their operating range is +50 to -10 and I think we have more than a few days cooler than that.

So while the idea is cool, the practicality is another matter.

I may try to talk you into buying me a beer at a Flames game and I needed to be able able to have a, "Remember when I saved you $99" card ready to be played.

RAM and FlipMino HD

If anyone is thinking of the Flip, it worked great taking video at Stampede. Very impressed with quality.

Dont buy an extra battery, it comes with one even though the description doesnt mention it.
