Summary: Love the Flip
Comment: I was afraid of modern technology, so I originally bought a video camera that uses mini tapes.
Well, it's hard to share that footage. I bought the Flip as a way to video tape my kids & share
with my family around the country. The only thing I don't like that happened yesterday was it turns
off on it's own after a while. My mom, whom is technologically challenged, was going to tape my
kids & me as we came down a huge slide at a carnival. I turned it on for her, but she said it
powered off by the time we got to the tops of the slide.

Summary: Simple, yet WOW!
Comment: Just received mine an hour ago. Have taken 7 videos, played back on computer and watched on TV. This
is a fabulous product, one that makes it easy for ANYONE to take great videos Don't expect to have
any problems. Pics are very sharp even on full screen. Can't think of a single complaint. You've got
to try one of these. Almost forgot..this also makes a great voice recorder for taking notes.

Summary: Easy to use point-and-shoot-video
Comment: This is the third video camera I've purchased since my daughter was born...a really long time ago.
I've progressed through technology from 8mm tapes (the first) to direct-to-dvd recording (the
second)and now to the Flip Ultra.

This camcorder has some major positives.
/>First: Simple out-of-the-box setup. After you insert the included AA batteries and turn on the
machine, the Flip prompts you to choose your interface language and set the date and time. All of
these are completed with an intuitive (and familiar to most digital camera users) 4-way controller
button. Less than a minute. It took me longer to attach the cord for the wrist strap.
/>Second: Ease of use. Four buttons: power, record, forward and delete plus the four-way ring
controller (for zooming and scrolling through stored video). I complain frequently about inadequate
documentation for users. This hardly needs any due to its simple, intuitive interface.
/>Third: Ease of offloading/sharing. You can use Flip's own site (I haven't tried yet, but it looks
easy enough). It's bundled software will also send from the camera (via your Internet-connected
computer) direct to Youtube and myspace.It will also create a folder (and convert from the default
.mp4 format to .wmv) on your PC to store your video before transfer to other video-capable sharing
locations online. Connects to a computer via a concealed USB port, which is the only other user
interface on the Flip.

Finally: Flip's sharing software (embedded in the camera) is
relatively easy to use. Anybody who used a record-to-dvd camera in the past will remember nested
sets of folders for audio and video that could easily confuse the less technically inclined user.


Shortcomings: Nothing worth griping about at this price point. Video resolution is
640x480 at 30 fps. This is not going to mistaken for high end video. In good lighting the quality is
perfectly acceptable; dimmer light adds obvious graininess. The USB port flips up from a recessed
stored position on the camera's side. I connected it without problems to a desktop, laptop and
netbook, but I recommend making sure you have USB extension cable, because of the location of USB
slots on computers is variable.

For a little more than a hundred dollars, this is a
very portable, extremely easy to use camcorder. Perfect as long as you manage your expectations on
video quality.

Summary: Great buy
Comment: I just received my camera and I love it. Just had a baby and wanted something extremely easy to use
and portable, so we would actually use it!! I have a very nice larger camcorder but its too
cumbersome to carry around and my wife has no clue how to use it. This is perfect and we can easily
upload the videos to [...] to share them with family. The upload feature is directly on the software
that automatically loads when you insert the USB into the PC. Great value, and I look forward to
taking it with me when I go scuba diving (with the underwater case).
