Fair. In all honesty, I didn’t buy the Canon to save money – I was interested in saving time.

I made that pretty clear to the sales person. I agree with many of the comments that the camera does it’s job – but editing is a big part of the functionality in my opinion. That’s what I was shopping for. In the future, I’d probably ask many more questions and look for some reviews on editing. Maybe even insist on a demonstration.

You can download Google’s free photo/video editing program called Picasa from their website. Try it and see if it has the features you want for editing. The price is right—FREE!!! I have been using it for years with XP without a problem.

I think cannon makes some great products, but i agree, i wouldn’t use their software, or any bundled software for that manner. Movie Maker for windows has changed a lot since XP, and while XP is considered “better” than vista, you gotta remember that XP is OLD in terms of computers and software.

There is nothing else on the market that is going to replace the flip. If the flip was so great, and the problem is simply you misplaced it, perhaps you should get another flip and a large case which is hard to misplace!

Oh, and working with salespeople on a daily basis, I do think that they should be responsible for knowing the product, so I do put some fault on the best Buy buddy, however I would also put some fault on you for not looking into the product more before purchasing.
