 Love it December 11, 2007
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I bought this for my 11 year old daughter for her birthday. She wanted to create videos like on iCarly that she watches on TV. She loves it! It is very easy for her to use and the videos are very clear. We are extremely satisfied! Great product.
 Doesn't Live Up December 11, 2007

After I tried out this "camcorder" I was quite disappointed. First, the video quality is mediocre and very shaky on play back. Second, you must record video in a high capacity file which is NOT YouTube compatible since the website requires your upload to be less than 100mb. In order to upload it, you must use the on-board software where you can edit and compress your AVI files into a smaller WMA file which of obviously subtracts from the quality. Thirdly, the record button doesn't always stop recording after you press it, so you have to double check the screen to make sure it stopped. Otherwise, you'll find your memory all used up with videos of your car seat!
It is definitely easy to use and plug in to your computer, but you do sacrifice quality for convenience in this unit. It will not replace a MiniDV camcorder by any means.
The Flip Video is ok for small time use though, but it's not worth paying $150 for. My advice is to save your money towards buying a real camcorder.
Flip is good for basic web type video December 11, 2007

The things works as advertised. Also, my wife dropped it from 5 feet onto pavement in it's bag, still works. Interface is simple and works. The movie creation software with it is too basic to be useful but the free Windows Movie Maker software fills in the gaps. I got this cheaper on amazon delivered in under 24 hours than I would have got it driving to BestBuy, can't beat that
 1 out of 3, not a good percentage December 10, 2007

I purchased 3 Ultra 60's, 2 black 1 pink, for our family. The 2 black ones would not down load the video to any of our computers. Sent an email to help desk 3 hours later said return them. So I made a phone call to see if anything eles could be done NO must be returned, "we knew we were having a problem" just send them back. At a cost of $55.51 to ship them back so we could have them for our Christmas trip. NOT HAPPY.
Great Concept Very Flawed Execution December 10, 2007

You can see in the discussion threads that many folks have had lock up problems with this camera. Commonly, the camera locks up while downloading video and has to be de-powered by pulling the batteries. Unusually, with OSX, a reboot is often required.
I received a prompt replacement from Pure Digital, but the replacement had exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, my purchase is a couple of days outside of Amazon's return window and I am not sure if I will return the replacement camera to Pure Digital or just round file it.
It is a wonderful product except that it doesn't work. Save yourself a lot of grief and find something else.
