Simple way to make home movie July 12, 2010
Aramaki (GA)
I use this mainly to make short clips that I upload to youtube. It fits in your backpack, purse, or even your shirt pocket. It's nice to have this around when something intersting or ugent is happent, like a robbery or assult. And kind of makes you an amateur reporter. I'd talk to restaurant owners and store managers about how they run the shop, and some crazy fans after a sports event. Pretty sweet camera, video quality is averge, it's not high definition, but who really needs HD, it's such a bandwidth killer anyway.

This made a great gift for our daughter-in-law who has three children under the age of 5. As you can imagine, her primary need in a video camera was to keep it simple. She needed something she could grab on the fly and not have to look for parts or cables, let alone find a mini-tape or a DVD that is not recorded on. The other important part was that it would provide the quality videos that we all want our family recordings to be.
I have now watched her use this camera at several family events - including a recent pre-school graduation event. One of the things that is interesting watching her use the camera is to see how lightweight it is, both in allowing her to hold it up above everyone's heads and how long she can hold it there. It is also interesting that she could review what was actually being recoded clearly and easily. These qualities make this video camera series infinitely preferable to our much older and clunkier Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder & 40x Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Lens. I have been reluctant to give up the Carl Zeiss lens and have been looking for a second camera that may not be of equal quality but is much easier to use for those times when I need a video camera in a hurry. It's hard to match the picture quality of any Carl Zeiss lens but I need something faster and easier.
There are also a lot fewer buttons on this video camera which makes it much more user friendly. My family members are notorious button pushers who press buttons that look right rather than check the manual to find out how to do things.
This Flip camera has been a great addition to our family's taping needs.
 Terrible!!! June 24, 2010

I had the flip camera for one whole week, then it stopped working. Instead of writing my husband a note for our wedding day, I recorded a video for him. We used the flip camera on our honeymoon for pictures of our trip and all our excursions. I get home to upload the videos and it won't even turn on. I've tried everything. This is a terrible product. I got new batteries and followed advice from their support, but now because of this video camera, we've lost important videos from our wedding day and honeymoon.
 Very Easy and Cheap June 18, 2010

It takes great quality video for 100 dollars.
It has about 3 buttons so it's ridiculously easy. The design is simple and intuitive. It's not trying to do a ton of stuff, so it's very simple and easy to use. There is the power, record, play, and delete - that's it!
The battery, if you use alkaline, lasts about 1.5 hours, so I NEVER watch the videos on the flip using the play button. It's bad enough when I'm just TAKING the videos! If you get lithium batteries, it will last several hours, and is a lot better.
The USB arm is cute, but hard to get in places like the back of your computer tower.
Occasionally it will crap out on me and the screen will look gray and black and funny because it froze. It has recovered and works great 98% of the time. I think it's done that to me maybe 3 or 4 times and I've owned it for a year or so. If you wait a while and then turn it back on, it is usually fine.
You can have it surprisingly far away from the action, and it will pick up the audio just fine and the things pretty far away still look good and not ridiculously far away. (I'm talking family parties etc, it does a good job capturing everybody nicely).
It can stand up on it's own so you can put it down and film without holding it!
Very portable.
60 minutes is about the amount of time an outing takes. Occasionally I get to about the end (although sometimes it gets confused in a good way and as given me up to 20 minutes over the hour...), but rarely do I need much more than an hour, and most of the time I don't need the full hour. A 2 hour might be nice, but I would probably end up leaving video on it for longer than on this one and then fill it up anyway!
The flip software to get the videos off is easy to use, and allows you to take snapshots of the video, but only if it's on your camera still and you can't put it back on your camera once it's off. The software gets confused sometimes, but it's good when it works. Also, it will look like it's starting to move the videos and if you walk away you may not realize it pops up several seconds later to demand that you click Ok to a message that says, it may take a while or something. Quite annoying. I think it's just easier to cut and paste the videos from the folder rather than using the software personally.
The little jingle it plays when it turns on and the beep it makes when you hit record, makes it incredibly obvious if you're trying to be discreet.
Overall I have been quite pleased with it.
NO SOFTWARE!!! June 15, 2010
DRB (USA)
There's the camera; there's the software that allows you to save, view, and share your videos. The camera is supposed to install the software as soon as you plug it into a USB port, and it tried, but "Installation Failed" popped up and it made no further attempts to install. So my camera is useful only to point at things; I have no videos yet! Wishing I had spent my money on something else. I have contacted customer support, but I'm not holding my breath.
