5 out of 5 stars It blows but it's great.   July 24, 2008

Let's get one thing out of the way. As an all around video camera the Flip blows. However as a "Video Notebook" this is the greatest thing in the world.

Wallyworld knocked the price down to $75.00 (30 minute model) so I grabbed one. I love it. I absolutely love it! If I see something cool while I'm out I can record it. If I want to make a note to myself I record it. If somebody tells me something I say "Tell the camera. It has a better memory than I do". When the boss wants me to do something I have her tell the camera. When a customer makes a complaint I ask him/her to tell the camera and I'll show the video to the manager. When I am out shopping for something I just make little demo recordings of all the possibilities and go over them at leisure when I get home. If I want to show somebody something I just record it and show them.

The video quality in decent light is good. Quite good enough for temporary notes and great for Youtube and Ebay auction demo videos. Actually if the light it good the video quality is very good. It lacks white balance and color adjustments and macro and telephoto and....but what do you want for $75.00 or even $149.00?

As an all-around camcorder though it's very limited but I have my fancy Sony camcorder for doing the good stuff. The Flip is my carry-around fun pocket recorder. It's the one I can hide in my pocket and pull out quick when I need to record something. It's the one that I could lose or drop and not cry too much about it. It's the one that doesn't look much like a camcorder and hopefully won't attract a thief's attention. It's the one I can trust the kids with.It's the one that Grandma can operate because basically it's just two buttons; Power and Start/Stop Recording. Get one. You want one.

You can get a nice waterproof (and therefore dustproof) case for it at a nice price so that makes the camera even better for carrying around everywhere. IE: A Pocket-sized Video Notebook. Sweet!

1 out of 5 stars Flip is a Flop   July 23, 2008

This Flip flopped - the software is buggy. Poor software renders this camera a real dud. I rarely have computer problems, so I believe that this product is a waste of money.

I like this camcorder because it is small and light. It is easy to use with imovie. The picture quality is not the best but it's good for what you pay. I also like the idea of no cables or wires. No recharging the battery. Just have two AA batteries handy and you are ready to go. I plugged it into my T.V. too and that worked great.


4 out of 5 stars Great go along anywhere camcorder.   July 22, 2008

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Pink)I have the Mino too and the Ultra is just a little "chunkier" all around but is still very small and easy to carry virtually everywhere. It produces very high quality video and audio for most "point and shoot" applications. It has lasted weeks on two "AA" batteries, though most videos we are shooting last under a minute.
The included software is easy and a blast to use. It's easy to export to your computer or compress and upload or email, and the Movie Mix feature is pretty awesome.
Buy the Ultra or it's smaller sibling the Mino and always be able to capture high quality video of the special or unique moments that just happen. Once you have it, you won't want to go anywhere without it.
