 a little dissappointed / not as versatile as I thought December 23, 2007
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
The camera is cool, easy to use and very compact. Also, the picture quality is pretty good. However, there are limited functons such as: zoom and lighting. It is not easy to translate the video to a DVD on your computer. Also the USB extensions that Flip Video sells are JUNK!!! They did not even fit on the camera properly.
Like I said, the camera is compact and easy to use, but all in all it is not much more than a digital camera for me.
 Great Little Camcorder December 22, 2007

I bought this camcorder for sending clips by e-mail and to make taking clips easier while traveling. I found it easy to use out of the box....the software worked great to download my clips into a file and when e-mailing it even compacts the files for easier, shorter send and receive time.
I am very pleased with this camera...more so than I expected to be. And from all other reports here I am not alone and knowing customer support esperience has been positive is reassuring too.
 Buyer Beware! December 22, 2007

I should have listened to the negative reviews of this product...it was horrible! The camera would freeze up, and transfering video longer than a minute proved impossible. Mine is in the mail being returned as we speak, we will just buy a normal camcorder.
great idea but way too buggy December 22, 2007
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
first of all, i love the idea of a portable camera that is easy to use and easy to convert to shareable media whether its dvd or mp4.
The camera is very easy to use (my 8 year old daughter loves making her own videos) and the video quality is surpisingly good (especially the sound) for a $150 camcorder.ir
My major problem is the buggy software the comes with it. It constantly comes up with some sort of "symbol" error or "director" error and drives my crazy. I upgraded the firmware which they requested and it did no better. If these guys were smart (and I think they are given the camera), they would have an app like itunes the sits on your computer and not the camera and has auto updates which can figure out why the stupid thing is not compatible. This unfortunately ruins the whole experience and would seemingly be an easy fix.
Unfortunately for flip, this software issue is probably causing a huge amount of returns. I know I'm taking this one back.
Problems are History- The Flip is a Must Have! December 22, 2007

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3H0YNSA3I2LRR Flip owners and potential owners rejoice- the negative reviews about errors and bad software you see are a thing of the past! PureDigital has been working dillegently on fixing the problem and just released a software update on 12/21 to resolve these issues. So, I wouldn't let this deter you from getting this handy, easy to use, affordable camcorder!
The Flip Ultra 60 minutes (I had to get the Pink) has been so much fun and as a busy mom with already too much stuff in my purse I've been able to squeeze this slim item right in purse with no problem! It's ready to go where ever I am and I can catch whatever is going on without missing a beat. And, the included bag to house the camcorder is perfect to prevent any dirt or scratches on the lense or lcd screen.
I own a Kodak Z612 which takes great still shots, but it certainly lacks in the video department leaving the sound of every focus adjustment ingrained on the video, not to mention the camera is rather large, so it's not convenient to carry on ones person all the time. This is where the Flip fills in beautifully! The digital zoom is wonderful and I was quite amazed at how well the lighting adjusts without a flash/light onboard! Yup- it's love!
A great accessory to get your hands on is the Joby tripod (of course, had to get the matching pink!). It flexes and wraps around anything- you can prop it on railings, poles, anywhere! An inexpensive, fun little thing to have!
Here's a video I made with the onboard software using my own mp3. A little tour of our living room Christmas decorations. Enjoy!
