flip videos

I am interested in purchasing flip videos for our school. Anyone have them, use them? Are they as easy to use as advertised? How is the quality?You can use them for podcasting? What model do you have? Any problems with them? Would you recommend spending the money? Do you have any samples of projects where you used the flip videos?

Our school bought three and used them with our 5th graders to create "Math Rap" videos. The end result was a bit crazy - but I think the kids all liked the experience. I'd like to use them as part of the state report too...and I'm searching for more ideas for other grade level teachers.

The Tech Coaches in my district just recieved training with the RCA Small Wonder camera. A bit cheaper than the Flip. I have not used it in any projects yet, but the possibilities are exciting. The quality of video is very good and it is extremely easy to use. I would like to get one for every grade level (at the very least). I would love to hear about any projects others have done with these types of video cameras.
