Summary: Proof that economy and excellence are not mutually exclusive
Comment: Very reasonably priced, excellent picture quality and easy to use. So much so that you had better
have lots of memory in your computer as it's easy to get in the habit of almost using it as a third
eye. When I think of my wife now, her image is with a Flip stuck to her face.

Summary: Flip Ultra "A great mini camcorder"
Comment: The Flip Ultra 120 is a great mini camcorder. The best thing about it is it's size and ease of use.
The price is great considering the quality, and alot cheaper than buying it brand new from a store.
It has everything you need to record your videos right out of the box and comes with AA batteries,
strap, soft case, quickstart guide, and TV cable to watch your videos on your televison. It also has
built-in Flip software that is great to save, arrange, and handle your projects.(you can also use
your PC if you want too) The built-in USB arm connecter plugs right into your PC or laptop. The
quality is excellent and the audio is good. Mac compatible. So far the only down side was that the
lense cannot handle extreme light, ie. a sun rise when recorded appears to have a black dot in the
center.

Summary: the flip is no longer working
Comment: i had the flip for 1 1/2 months and now it not working. It stops functioning after I started my
first uploading of video to my laptop. Not sure if this is just an exception. It took great video
shots but now i have no way of seeing the shots i took.

Summary: Great gadget for kids, college students & adults!
Comment: Bought 2 of these as xmas gifts. One for my 11-yr-old niece & the other for my 21-yr old daughter in
college. They both love it - it was their favorite gift. Extremely easy to use, just turn it on &
press the red button. The niece uses it for fun at home & school as well as having her father film
her hockey games. She has learned how to upload and save files using it. It doesn't get a real close
up of her on the ice but it's not bad and it handles the fast motion of skaters very well. The sound
is decent too.

My 21-yr-old daughter is in a dance group at college and films her
dance routines with it and then effortlessly uploads them to youtube and the school's website. Often
she just asks random folks in the audience to take the video it's that easy (very easy to hold). The
nice thing about it is that you can also get a still photograph from it by pausing the video and
taking a snapshot of a frame (it doesn't actually take still photos). I'm not sure if you can save
that as a file or not but she's given me photos on paper of my cat, her dance group, etc!
/>I was worried about getting the model that uses AA batteries vs the rechargeable kind but have
been happy with my decision. It was cheaper & I liked that you could get AA batteries anywhere if
need be. We have been happy with the battery life. It's durable & portable. I've used it myself
filming my attic (pre & post insulation - exciting stuff) in very low light conditions and was quite
impressed. Amazon had the best price at the time compared to big box club warehouses (may have been
a gold box deal).

Summary: Great choice for older kids! Great for the beach!
Comment: QUICK SUMMARY: After having this a month now, I can attest to how great this product is -- not
because of the amazing video quality (it's just okay), but the cost/performance value is remarkable.
It's great for older kids who can take care of their electronics, and it's a great choice for
outdoor scenes which might otherwise damage more expensive video equipment. Highly recommended! />
I bought this Flip camcorder as a Christmas present for my 11yo daughter. She loves it,
and so do I! It was her most expensive Christmas present, and (happily) it's the one she's still
using one month after Christmas. Because *she* has a videocamera, we're getting family videos
created that are absolutely hilarious, as she's able to capture the craziness of a house filled with
four young children. I love the extemporaneous shots she's getting of kids being kids.
Awesome!

I love that the camera is portable enough to easily take it to the beach,
where I would otherwise not have my much more expensive Canon HD camcorder. I'm afraid of the salt
spray coming off the beach to bring my expensive Canon camcorder, but this Flip is easy to take to
the beach -- we're not obsessed over keeping the lens clean, and when it gets dirty, we just use a
tee-shirt to wipe it off. The plastic housing over the actual lens is easily cleaned. I plan on
bringing my daughter's Flip camcorder on an annual Appalachian Trail hike I take each summer, where
I have previously avoided taking my expensive camcorder because I'm worried about it getting
damaged. Now, I'd be disappointed if this Flip camera broke, but it's inexpensive enough that it
could be replaced pretty easily.

The software that comes with it is simple to install
and use. My kids intuitively knew how to load videos into the kids' computer, and I was very
surprised at how clear the individual video frames looked -- good enough to make a 4x6 print from.
This was a wonderful way of getting some amazing shots of my son launching a vinegar-and-baking-soda
bottle rocket in our backyard.

The Flip won't replace your better-quality video
equipment, but it's a wonderful addition to your existing equipment. Every family with
(responsible) children ought to have a Flip to help capture family life at home.
/>Highly recommended!
