 Easy to use, decent quality videos February 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This camera is super easy to use right out of the box. It took about five minutes to learn all of the features. It uses two AA batteries. Hooking it up to the computer couldn't be easier. Since I already have video editing software, I didn't bother to install the software that came with the camera. It works just as any other digital camera does and puts its files in the DCIM folder so that they can be easily copied and pasted like any other files.
This camera won't replace a higher-end Camcorder for recording important events, but it *is* perfect for spontaneous videos, making video for the web, etc.
The good:
* easy to use
* built-in USB
* decent quality video
* TV output and includes cable
* tripod output
The bad:
* No slot to add more memory or record to an external memory card
* Audio recording could be a bit better (not a big deal to me since I usually overdub the audio anyway)
 I loved while it lasted February 28, 2008

I bought the flip two weeks ago, and today after i unplugged it from the computer, I watched a video i had made on the flip when it suddenly shut off....and now it won't turn back on. i tried everything and i don't know if there is a reset button? But while i had it I was uploading all kinds of stuff on youtube. even though it lasted two weeks? i am going to buy another one so now im up to 300 dollars, if the nexy one breaks im going to be ashamed at myself. I hoped this help..
This is a MUST have if you want to record and share memories! February 28, 2008

I first heard about this camera on the Oprah Show and I decided to come here to read the reviews. I have a very expensive Sony mini-DV camera that I have used to record memories over the last several years but my problem has been how to easily convert them to digital. So that is why I was interested in the Flip video camera. After reading the reviews, I felt the Flip Ultra camera was the one for me because it had twice as much memory as the regular camera (plus I like the orange option!)I ordered it and as soon as it arrived, I opened the box and the setup took less than a minute (literally!) I love the fact that it uses 2 AA batteries and then you set the date and time and you are ready to go! As soon as I had it ready to go, my 6 1/2 yr old peeked over my shoulder and said, "ooo, Mommy, what is that?" To which I responded, "my new video camera!" She promptly asked if she could use it (she has been using a digital camera since she was 2) and she was off and made her first video in a matter of minutes. I love the fact that the camera comes with video editing/sharing software that works on Mac or PC and it is super easy to use. The one thing that I would echo from the other reviewers is that it is a GREAT idea to buy the USB extension cable because it could be too easy to break off the USB connection arm if you don't. I didn't purchase the Flip branded cables because I didn't see the need to have it color coded so I bought the Cables to Go version for less money Cables To Go - 19003 - 1M USB A Male to A Female Extension Cable (White) and am very happy with that. Since my daughter is so delighted with the camera, I think that I may have to purchase another camera so that I can use it! As my boss says, this is "cold dead finger technology". You are going to have to pry this out of my cold dead fingers before I will give it up!
Pocket Movies, Why not? February 28, 2008

Lightweight, Fun looking, enough features, not difficult, and who needs super high quality movies all the time when short and accurate clips are just fine? The Flip creates good quality movies, simple plug it (usb) and store the files or recreate clips into a movie with built in Muvee Software. Or just leave it neatly in your shirt pocket, just in case you see something worth remembering or showing off.
Wow! February 26, 2008
This is a most amazing product. Very convenient for spontaneous moviemaking. My kids really love it. My seven year old is having the time of her life taping herself.
