 DISAPPOINTED BIG TIME!!!! December 10, 2007
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
I purchased this camera at the spur of the moment. My camcorder broke and I ran out and decided to purchase the FLIP for ease of use. Well, my presentation was videoed and everything seemed to have gone really well, until it was time to transfer the video. I tried every way humanly possible to transfer my video, but to no avail. As a graduate student, I had to take my presentation to class on a FLIP camera to provide proof that I had indeed videoed my presentation. How embarrassing. I will never ever purchase another FLIP. I was extremely disappointed!

The first flip I got was defective. Something was wrong with the screen and it stopped filming after 5 short videos. I also had a lot of trouble downloading the pictures, so I returned it, thinking it was just a bad apple. I got a replacement and thought everything was fine because it was filming well. However, once I tried to download the videos, again, I could not save them. It would say save error. Nor could I email any of the videos. I'm very disappointed and am definitely returning the camera for good. Its small size and ease of use were nice and convenient, but it gave me so much headache as I try to download the photos that it is just a huge disappointment. Last night it took me all night to try to save all the photos - what a waste of my time and a frustrating experience.
Buyer beware... can't save videos reliably December 9, 2007

In spite of a thread warning of problems saving videos on this device, I decided to give it a try. Sadly, they were right. The first couple of videos I took (very short) worked well and I had no problems transferring them from the device to my computer. Yesterday my daughter had her Christmas concert and I took 9 short videos. I tried twice to transfer them from the program - "program error" resulted and asked me to restart the program. Attempted this twice, and had to restart my computer both times! I then decided to just try copying them straight from the device onto my computer (which I'm trying without any luck right now). It appears that these videos (or the last 6 of them anyway) will be stuck on the device with no way to retrieve them. I am VERY unhappy and wish that I had just erred on the side of caution and not purchased this device. Needless to say, I'm returning it for a refund and will instead go with a "real" camcorder which will only be a few dollars more and hopefully will work as advertised... I'm not looking for "perfect" just a functional way to record special moments.
Video Greeting Card options don't Work!!! December 9, 2007
8 out of 12 found this review helpful
I got the flip for my bday and what to use it to send short email video greetings. But I send greeting skins that say, "no video available" all day instead. There's so little help to read about this error!
The flip doesn't even come with any instruction manual!
Also, its pretty slow in converting video and movies.
Keep the original software, don't download the upgrade, that is when I started having trouble!!!
I'm disappointed. It is a great theory but frustrating when it won't do one of the things it is supposed to do.
 Exactly What I was Looking For December 8, 2007

Great for the person that doesnt like to carry around a normal camcorder missing all the action because your to busy recording everything. The movie quality is great for a less than 5 min movie on your home PC. Its really easy to use just turn it on and hit the red button. Then when your done plug it into the USB port and download. You cant beat the value at $150.
