Great Little Camcorder December 13, 2007
21 out of 22 found this review helpful
I think this is a great little camcorder! It's so small and lighweight, it's no problem taking it most anywhere. I was really impressed with the software to download the content...it's actually EASY TO USE! The quality is really quite good considering. If you want quality that compares to a camcorder that costs several hundred dollars, then buy a camcorder that costs several hundred dollars. If you want a decent little camcorder that gives you good quality for $150.00, then you can't go wrong with a Flip.
 Not enough camera for the money December 13, 2007
11 out of 16 found this review helpful
This camera is definitely easy to use, however, for the amount of money that it is, the quality should be better, the zoom should be optical instead of digital, and the included software should not have been written by a fifth grader. Steer clear...save your money and buy a real digital camcorder. My Canon digital camera takes better movies than this.
Wait to buy until Pure Digital engineers get their software to work December 13, 2007

I purchased three Ultras, one for me, two for Christmas presents. In my opinion, I would wait to buy this until Pure Digital gets their act together and has software that is compatible with all operating systems and that actually works. Their QA department failed miserably releasing this too soon with such a lousy software interface. I am having all the same issues other reviewers have mentioned. I can't download videos to my computer; software freezes and have to end task; Flip Video still shows "Connected" after disconnecting from computer and have to take out batteries to get it to restart (a real pain in the you know what) and I have the same issue others stated about starting and stopping recording. It often takes many presses to do either. I tried one of the other Flip Videos I bought and it was worse than the first one. It wouldn't even install the software. I received an error message shortly after connecting it to my computer. This is just too frustrating and I don't have the time (or patience at this point) and I don't want to send my sons' their Christmas present knowing that it won't work. I did write to Pure Digital and got a response back to send it back to them and they will repair it and retrieve my videos and send back. What a bunch of baloney! I just bought the dang thing plus two more for Christmas presents. Why would I want to take the time and effort to send it back to them and then probably have the exact same issue once again, as many of you have noted who have tried this already. Nope, for me, all three Flip Videos are being returned! I'll wait until Pure Digital gets their act together and has a software interface that has been thoroughly tested and actually works! The concept is great, ease of use is very nice; it's a neat little camcorder. I would have really enjoyed using it if the software worked correctly.
 sweet and simple December 12, 2007

This little gem is great. It's simple to use, light to carry around, and the quality, while not DVD-level, is absolutely fine for our purposes. Yes, the USB connector is weird, but I have a USB hub (cheap) that I use to plug the videocamera into: problem solved.
It's possible if you have a really great video function on your digital camera that this would not worth the extra expense. But ours is the pits, and we couldn't be more pleased with the ease of use (no complaints about the software, either!) and the video quality.
I'm soooo glad to be done with the mini-DV format. Turns out our use of the videocamera (capturing crazy stuff our kids are doing, mostly) is really only in short increments, and I don't have the time to burn everything to a DVD anyway. I take a few short videos, do some minor editing, and then post them online to share with family and friends. Piece of cake.
Simply fantastic December 12, 2007

I couldn't find anything to criticize about The Flip. It exceeded all my expectations. Forget the nitpicking nonsense of soem reviews. I didn't have an ounce of trouble. Even in very low light the video was great, microphone even picked up whispers, easy transfer. The "flip-out" arm work fine. I have a desktop and I just stuck it in and it stayed in placed on its own with no trouble. It was the easiest electronic device I've ever used.
