Flip Video Camera December 23, 2007
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
The Flip camera is a great item, however, the RCA Small Wonder camera has the advantage of adding an SD card and extending filming to 4 plus hours. If you are on vacation and don't have a laptop handy to download what you filmed, you are limited to only one hour of filming. I bought both cameras and use them for different purposes. The picture quality is about the same. The RCA is about $50 cheaper. You can carry either one of these cameras in your pocket or purse and be ready for instant filming of your kids, pets, sporting events or whatever. Both cameras are very simple to use. My 5 year old granddaughter has already mastered it. We now lock the bathroom door! If I had to choose, I would probably buy the RCA based on price. Both cameras are fun.
Met my expecations and some December 23, 2007

This product is easy to use and small enough to carry around anywhere. It was everything I expected and more. I took it to my daughters christmas play and I have been taking videos of my 6 month old too. Don't expect the look of a high cost camera because I know that there is better cameras out there, but for lots of money. It is worth every penny of what I paid for it.
 Great Little Camcorder! December 23, 2007

I bought this camcorder for a 9 yr-old family member. It was so easy to use, that we took it out of the box, installed the batteries and started shooting film right away. The next day we went to a family event and discovered that we had left our "grown-up" camcorder at home. We used the Flip Video and everyone was amazed at the ease and the quality of the video. Uploading the video to a DVD ia a snap. I would rather use this than pull out my Sony camcorder. I would recommend this product to anyone. As a matter of fact, I bought two more as Christmas presents - one for my sister-in-law and one for my brother.
 Too Bad December 23, 2007

This camera has such great video clarity it's a shame it was thrown together and marketed before the bugs were out.
First issue is the onboard software. I could never succesfully load it on my PC. It states that some PCs don't need the software but when you try to open the AVI video files you will ge a NERO failure promt that the system requires an 'advctr.dll' file and that promt will cintinue to repop-up about 5-7 times in a row before it clears. To avoid this you must convert the AVI files to MPEG for viewing on Windows Media Player 9.0 or older. Even with newer WMP you still get the annoying NERO pop-up prompts if you don't convert the files. Oh and when you do convert, you will lose about 10% of the audio and video quality.
Second issue is system freeze-up. This camera will stop cold and have to be re-booted by either removing and re-installing the batteries or leaving the batteries out and jump starting the connection program by connecting to your PC with the USB cable. This seems to work.
Third issue is button function. On the Ultra model I had numerous failures with the 'Start/Stop' red recording button. It seems as though the pressure sensor quits working and you can push that red button til the cows come home and it won't stop recording.
These things said, I really hope they get the glitches fixed because dollar for dollar you can't find anything close to the video and audio quality at twice the price and I have bought and returned 3 other kinds of cameras in the same price bracket since I returned the Ultra.
I am now trying the Flip regular 30 min model and it has nowhere near the video quality of the ultra. Although the operating buttons are consistantly responsive, the same glitches in software and freeze-ups manifest in this model as well but not as often.
It will take the place of my digital still camera. December 23, 2007

It does everything that's advertised. One thing that I like is the ability to click through individual frames and capture an individual frame for printing as a photograph. You end up with pictures that don't have that POSED look.
