Excellent product January 26, 2008

This product works as well as advertised. This is excellent for note taking, documenting a harassment/stalking case and acting silly, if you're into the Youtube thing.

I just got my flip ultra and its been up and running in 5 minutes. Unlike a lot of other users with software issues, I didn't encounter any problems. But I did download the flip update from their website before I took any videos and with the updated software, there were no problems. The video and sound seem fine for a device costing 150 bucks. And I already have a bunch of fun mixes in 10 minutes !
Great for videos January 25, 2008
Picture quality is great and sound is good too. Easy to use, had it figured out in like 2 minutes. Get the 60 minute version its worth it. for this price you cant beat it
Great Little "Keep it in my Purse" Camcorder January 25, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My "good" camcorder, a Sony miniDV died last month, just as I started creating my own video podcast on my website. Replacing it outright would have cost over 5 hundred dollars, something I didn't have. After hearing raves about the Flip from a friend, and reading reviews here, I decided that this would be a good placeholder camera until I could afford a good one.
I have to tell you, for what looks like a little toy camera, the quality of the video has amazed me. No, it's not the same quality as my Sony, but I did not buy this camera looking for MiniDV quality.
I can provide a list of things I wish the Flip Ultra had, but I know darned well that to get those things would add 100-200 more dollars to the price.
- So no, there's no real zoom, and using the digital 2x zoom is pointless and destroys the quality of the picture. But I haven't done any filming that required true zoom.
- Being able to use SD cards in addition to the built in memory would be fantastic. The 2 gig (1 hour) memory on the Ultra was more than enough for a full road trip to Maine - we didn't come close to using it all up.
- The sound quality could be a little better, but I have no problem hearing it, and when I edit the movies on my Mac, I just boost the volume manually as needed. And it isn't always needed.
One of the big benefits of the Ultra is that the files save in AVI format, so I plug it into my Mac, drag the files over, and no translation of any kind is required. (I do not have this luxury with my son's Aiptek camera, a competitor for the Flip. I need to use software to grab those files.)
One hint - we had purchased some dollar store batteries around the holidays and I used them in the Flip and the side effect was that it started to freeze up on me. I don't think the batteries were providing enough consistent power to the camera. I pulled those out and put in name brand "electronics" level AA batteries and all the freezing up problems immediately went away. Don't cheap out on the batteries. They seem to last a fairly long time, and you can always get rechargeables.
LOVE IT January 24, 2008
