What's great about it: Easy to use, edit and upload video quickly
"Although the descriptions tell you this (cheapest) model lacks all of the bells and whistles, it has everything you need and more. Easy to shoot, edit and upload videos quickly to Facebook, Youtube, etc. We bought thsi to share videos of our new baby with friends and family and have used it at all kinds of family functions. Great quality and sound, saved hundreds by not buying a camcorder. Oh and did I mention no wires. We love it"

YES .... IT'S ALL THAT
02/24/2009
By DJTN
from Nashville, TN
|
What's great about it: Easy to use, everything is included, small, good video
What's not so great: Price, no lens cap or cover, finger prints
"There are not many electronic gadgets on the market these days that combine simplicity with quality, especially in this price range. The Flip Mino is remarkable. It’s easy to use, has great video quality and it’s so small you can take it anywhere.
Most of us in the consumer camcorder market are looking to take video of our families and friends and either share it on the internet (you tube, email, personal site) or make a DVD. The Flip Mino fits perfectly in this situation.
I do not recommend the HD version unless you have a blu-ray burner. The Flip Mino HD version records at 720p which isn’t actually HD, 1080p is. Also I wasn’t as impressed with the HD version’s picture quality and field of view. In order to record someone you have to stand far away from them to get them in the shot which kind of undermines the whole concept of the product in the first place, ease of use.
If you’re looking for a great, easy to use, take anywhere, point and shoot camcorder – the Flip Mino is simply perfect."

Love the flip

What's great about it: Everything about it is great
What's not so great: There is nothing wrong with it
"I use my flip at home and work. When I use it at work (I work with 4 year olds)
the children always ask me to plug it to the TV so that they can see themselves. The parents always look for my emails and when I don't send anything they ask me when will I send another vedio. They really love it. My my saw it and had to have one, so I got it for her. She can't put it down. She took it to Texas with her and use it with family and friends out there and now they all want one. My co-workers want one and my deportment had said they would like to see all Pre-K classes in the program have one. I just love it."

Be Careful with the Flip 'Ultra'
12/31/2008
By Dianne25
from San Diego, CA
|
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Can't be repaired
"This camera worked great for 6 months, then the 'Flip' icon froze after turning it on. I had to remove the batteries to turn it off. Tech support told me to remove the batteries for 48 hours, but it still froze. Then they told me to upgrade the camera via computer. It still froze. I learned from Flip tech support that if the camera is out of warranty (after 90 days) there is no one or nowhere to send it for repairs. You are basically out $150. If you are lucky enough to have it break before the warranty has expired, then you can start again, otherwise you are out of luck. What a dissapointment."

Great for what it is
10/20/2008
By krawimi
from Miami
|
What's great about it: Size, ease of use
What's not so great: Limited features
"This is a great little video camera. It's small, easy and fast to capture video. The software is actually on the camera so no need to put anything on the computer. That makes it very easy to use and very easy to transfer. It doesn't have a lot of features (basically, it's just point and record video). Once you max out on memory, you can't change the memory card and continue. You must upload to the computer. But that's the tradeoff - small and easy vs. big, complicated and lots of features."

Great Little Camcorder
10/03/2008
By RockstarRider
from National City, CA
|
What's great about it: Small, Slim, Fasionable, Easy, Solid
What's not so great: Video Quality, No Zoom, No memory card slot
"This is a very small easy to use camcorder. Tested this camcorder to see how it would handle and I got to say that it feels very solid. It is a well-built camcorder that feels like you are holding an ipod. It has 2GB of internal memory which will give you an dhour of video. It records in a 640x480 resolution, which is perfect for Youtube. It has a built-in lithium-ion battery which has no memory effect and charges while you connect it to your USB connetion in your computer. In the back it has touch sensitive buttons except for the record button. You sure want to feel the click of the record button to know your recording, which also shows it in the 1.5 clear and vivid LCD scree. If you are a Youubte addict or just like to make video in youtube or want to start making videos, you have now found your ideal camcorder. With this camcorder you can go anywhere and have it in your pocket. It is literally the size of a cell phone. It comes in a very clean and fashinable package alomst like the iphone which makes you think that Pure Digital Technologies(the company) really cares about their products and how neatly the customer receives their product. You can go anywhere with this Flip Mino and not be seen with a 20 pound camcorder that looks like a brick. There are no settings to mess with, just take it out of your pocket and turn it on, press record and THERE! you are now recording great quality video. It has a buit-in software that when you connect it to your computer via the pop-out usb, a software willa utomatically pop out in your desktop. Very easy to transfer the videos to your computer to edit and then upload to youtube. This has been the easiest camcorder that is like the perfect match to go with Youtube Stars.!!!"

What's great about it: cost

"This video camera is fabulous! It's sooo much fun and easy to use. Very easy to upload videos too. The sound and picture quality is great and it is seriously small and the size of my cell phone!! I think my cell phone is actually even heavier. The price is completely reasonable and this would be a great gift for teenagers. I love gadgets and this is now my favorite one ever!"

Absolutely Amazing!

By TVDirector1

What's great about it: easy, fun, quick, great software, watch on tv instantly
What's not so great: audio could be louder, but still love it!
"I have had this camera less than a month. It is sooo easy to turn on and shoot. I have made under 3 minute video mixes with the software in camera. I have sent to family on email and put on face book. Everyone loves my movies. It makes you look like a Pro at editing and shooting. Everything is quick. It holds 60 minutes which is more than enuf. Most people's attention span is shorter than 3 minutes. Perfect camera to shoot family, friends, people at work. It brings alot of smiles to people's faces to see them in a movie mix in less than 5 minutes. This is an awesome, fun, easy to run camera. It has music backgrouond to choose with each mix or load your own. Make it as short or as long as you want. It's so convenient and I carry it in my purse everywhere. I'm there to capture that "Flip" moment. You can plug it into any computer and make a movie within minutes. I have sold many of these from just sharing everything I do with this camera. The price...awesome....this is the video camera of the century! I love it sooo much!!!!"
