 Heartbroken Christmas Gift - big promises but poor delivery January 12, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
We were so eager to receive this camera in the mail so that we could wrap it as a Christmas gift for someone in our family. The product, as presented on the FLIP website, seemed so perfect, the delivery sooooo simple, the results sooooo clean and easy to create! Everything seemed impossibly easy to do. Even the website "sample" videos were to die for, but yet seemed so spontaneous!
Well, Christmas came and went -- with a variety of issues that caused us, at times, to throw our hands-up into the air and wonder if any product could deliver more poorly than this camera. There are many problems with the flip camera. Pure Digital has only delivered issues, not solutions.
No kidding -- this product was launched with an IMMEDIATE NEED for a software "patch" to fix the issues with the camera. We have lost several videos, spent hours trying to make the "upgraded" software from the FLIP site work (which it still doesn't). As far as I am concerned, the developers of this product launched it too quickly, trying to capitalize upon the Christmas sales, but without an answer for the HOST of compatability issues between this product and a PC. How irresponsible!! I am personally capable on a PC, and could not get this thing to work properly using their materials.
Sure, eventually SOME of the camera features work -- but we have lost several videos from our family Christmas, can't create or save the movies using their "built-in" software (which you still must try and somehow install on your computer -- deceptive!), and basically could get better functionality from one of the disposable video cameras that are on the market now! The support line will call you back and/or answer the phone, but they have no answers for compatability problems with their software and a PC.
One silver lining that we have discovered -- it is possible to work with some of the material that you record using Windows Movie Maker. But it is a more complex package than what the manufacturer claims to have developed in their camera.
Don't waste your money. Don't take any videos of value with this camera -- you might lose them. Spend less money and get a disposable.
 flip video review January 12, 2008

I purchased this camera because of a review in the Wall Street Journal. It is simple to operate and takes decent video. The main issue I have had is it is fragile. It is made of plastic and you have to be careful when connecting it to your computer. Battery life is not long so you need to use rechargables. I would not purchase it again.
 The Best Mini Camcorder Ever!!! January 11, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This product is really worth the money! It's a little camcorder that can save up to 1 hr. of high quality videos! You no longer need to bring CDs or DVDs with you...you just need to bring this cellphone sized camcorder and you're good to go! What's more that i loved is you can transfer the videos from your Flip to the computer as easy as 123! Just plug it on the USB of your pc then copy and paste the file to your computer! The video and audio quality is great! This product is one of my best buys!!

This is a great camera. I got mine yesterday (the black and 30 minutes model). First of all it looks really nice. It also weights very little compared to most camcorders. It's also good that it uses flash memory because it is very reliable and sturdy. It's very simple to use and it has stunning video quality for such a small camera. The video looks better on a tv or computer screen than my $350 Sony HC-48. It is also mac compatible and downloads easily into imove or final cut express. It is also very easy to download videos onto a pc with the flip.
Pros:
good looking
good picture quality
easy to use
mac and pc compatible
cheap
Cons:
no lense cap
case is a lint and hair magnet
no sd card slot for extra storage and stuff
mic is a little weak
low zoom
Overall this is a solid little camera. Considering the price it is amazing. You save a bunch of money on tapes and get very good resolution for such a small camera. I highly recommend the flip camcorder.
Great camera for the money January 11, 2008

Very easy to operate and you can use it right out of the box because it operates on AA batteries (included). I was concerned that there was no light on the camera, but I've found the camera adapts well to a variety of light conditions. Overall, the picture quality is surprisingly good for a camera of this price. I only gave it four stars because I'd like the option of increasing the storage capacity.
