 Amazing camera! February 8, 2008
Amazing video camera for the first timer. Just put in the batteries and you are ready to record. I love this camera. So easy to use. I highly recommend it for the beginner!
 Don't buy if you're on a Mac February 7, 2008

I had high hopes for the Flip and bought one right before my baby boy's first Christmas. It's easy and no frills. Great stuff. Then I tried to download. It was a mess and the only way out was to reboot. After hours of tries I never got it to work. Finally I checked and learned they had a patch to fix these problems. Only.... the Mac version wouldn't come out until January. OK, it's February now and I found the patch. IT'S ONLY FOR LEOPARD! What? The idea with this camera was to make things simple. My experience was anything but.
I'm A YouTuber and LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! February 7, 2008
After reading all the comments about the FLIP camera, I was very reluctant about getting this to help me create my "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube" video series. I've been wanting to take the show on the road and do more than just static videos. So, I decided to take a chance and get this!
BOY AM I GLAD I DID!!!
The quality of the video is outstanding for the price and size of this camera. And the best part is it stabilizes the video for you automatically so you don't have the "Blair Witch Project" syndrome with a shaky camera. I shot a video the other day of cooking low-carb fried chicken and the FLIP camera got me right in the action while I was cooking. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!
But even better was how easy it was to upload the video to my computer and then to YouTube. I have an iMac (yes, to all those crybabies who say this camera doesn't work with a Mac--WRONG!) and flipped out the USB port on the side of the camera to connect to my computer. There was no software to install and it came right up on the computer. I easily imported the video footage I had shot into iMovie and produced my YouTube video show as normal. IT WAS SO SUPER SIMPLE!!!
If you are into shooting casual videos, then you HAVE to get this camera. It will add so much to my YouTube video series and I look forward to using it early and often. You WON'T be disappointed!
By the way, you can see how well this camera does by checking out "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube" at YouTube slash livinlowcarbman. ENJOY! :)
I was so excited. February 6, 2008
This is a great little product to have if you plan on carrying it around in your purse for quick videos. If it is quality you want then your gonna need to spend a little more money and get a real video camera. I love it cause it is small and conveniant, you get what you pay for basically.
Potential Problems. Warning to Buyers February 6, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Bought Flip Video Ultra on October 30, 2007. Unit died on February 6, 2008 just a few days after the 90 day warranty expired. Connects to and is recognized by computer but simply does not transfer anything to or from computer. Very unhappy, would never buy again. Also, the original software loaded on it was obsolete when I received it, updated that, and now discover yet another emergency update is needed. Problem is emergency update also will not work. If you buy this item be sure to also buy a usb extension cable (if you do not you will have to physically hold the unit in your hand while plugged into your computer or risk having the usb arm break off the device). Also has no port for allowing use of SD cards etc to expand video capacity. Very unhappy. Buy something else.
UPDATE: June 13,2008. I was finally able to reinstall the software that comes built into this video recorder, overwriting the software that was originally on it. It now works fine. One additional warning is that you cannot just plug and unplug this recorder into your computer. You can plug it in, but when you remove it you must either shut down your computer first, or use the "Safely Remove Hardware" program on your computer. If you simply unplug it like many other plug and play items you risk damaging the internal software. When it works it does a good job.
