Easy to use camera November 29, 2007
22 out of 26 found this review helpful
I bought this to use for work, and it is very easy to use. It was easy to get still photos from the videos, although they are not very sharp. However, I wish I had checked what MAC processor speed and memory was needed-my work laptop does not have enough of either, and while it works, it does so very slowly, and despite creating folders with the software, each time I hook it up it says I have no folders (the folders are saved to the computer only). I also was disappointed that several of the features available for PC are not available in the MAC version. I guess I thought that MACs are supposed to be known for great media.
It works best for close ups, but I found the zoon is not too helpful with distance shots--the movies were a little unclear. I also am disappointed in the sound--the quality is good but even on my laptop it does not play back very loud--I guess a function of not good speakers on the laptop. I downloaded the folders and software to my PC and it works great. However, I bought it for the portability factor and being able to show my students immediate feedback. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.
Good video quality CHEAP and EASY November 29, 2007

Pros: I purchased this 60 minute ultra Flip Video three days before leaving for our tropical vacation. When it arrived, I was skeptical about the size, lack of paper instructions and accessories. Boy was I wrong. It was easy to use, convenient and the clarity and quality is fantastic. My son used it the entire time to record memories of our trip. Later in the evening we were able to review our videos right in the hotel room using the USB on our PC. I would recommend it to anyone - much better than toting around a palmcorder and easier too.
Cons: Just wish the lens was recessed - or had a lens cover. Have to be careful and keep recorder in velvet storage pouch when not in use.
Would recommend for anyone - great gift for techy-teens......anyone actually. We are thinking about getting another one (as my son tended to "claim" this one himself!)
Keeping in touch with Family and Friends November 29, 2007

This is the best way to keep in touch with family and friends through email. They are up close and personal, way more than with a picture. I would recommend this to anyone. SO easy!!! The only reason I did not rate it higher is just because of the download time. I would recommend this camera to anyone! I love mine! I am not too computer savvy, but I don't need to be with this camera!
 Awesome video camera! November 29, 2007

This is GREAT! It took me literally 2 minutes to set up on my computer.
This is something I could just pick up & use. No big confusing directions.
I wanted something I could take videos of holidays & my kids. This is great I
can just throw it in my bag & go. It is so compact too, Its size is smaller than my
regular camera.
Great product at a great price.
 hyped up November 29, 2007

This product is as easy to use as advertised. The lens and viewer seem more reminiscent of Fisher-Price optical standards, so if you use a quality video- or digital camera, lower your expectations! It should come with more protective gear than a velvet sack. Flip simplified our teenagers' uploads to YouTube, but has not sparked an increase in uploading activity. The accompanying software worked immediately on both Mac OSX and PC(pre-Vista). Friends to whom we emailed videos "packaged" by the software were too wary to open them, but when I attached the Flip-compressed files without the branded package, more recipients readily watched the video. This may say more about my friends than the ease of use.
