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).

Summary: Flip Ultra 2nd Generation is a Gadget Queen's Dream
Comment: I'm known as the family photographer not because of special training but just because I take
pictures / video at almost every family function and though I am an amature, I'm told I've taken
some really good pics / video. That being said, I wanted something that was portable, easy to use
and SMALL to capture not only those family moments but those spontaneous moments with friends and
life in general. The Flip Ultra 2nd Generation is that VIDEO camera. Its not fancy but if you're
in it for the fun of it and want good quality video that you can e-mail to friends/family or upload
to social websites, then the Flip Video Camera will be your newest friend. No video tapes to buy
and no extensive "How to" to read. Just plug and play and you can use it on different computers so
you are not tied down to having the software on just one computer as the sofware is in the camera
itself. You can't take pictures with it but I have my digital for that so its no biggie. Simple but
good quality is what I wanted and that is what I got. Enjoy!

Summary: Flip Ultra
Comment: This camcorder takes some getting use to. Although you had pushed the stop record button does not
mean that is has stopped recording. This quality is good and it is very portable, just stick it you
pocket and go about your business. I have found that the lens can get your finger print on it very
easy and I have to remember to wipe it off before shooting.
