Digital camera reviews of Flip Mino Video Camera - Black, 2 GB,1 Hour (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Even a technophobe can use it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am not very handy when it comes to electronics. It takes me a while to get used to using new devices, and I often become frustrated with the first few uses. However, the Flip Mino is awesome! Charge it and it's ready to use. It really is that simple. 60 minutes is plenty for just about anything I'd want to record, and the picture and sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small gadget. The software is intuitive and easy to use, although I admit that I have not yet taken the plunge into editing any of my videos.
This unit is as small or smaller than my cellphone, making it so easy to carry anywhere. It doesn't work well in darker environments, but that's not unexpected and is not a drawback, in my opinion. I've been using this for several months now and it's still going strong with no problems.
Great gadget that works as promised and is easy to use - love it!

I purchased this to use with students and teachers. The first time I opened it, I didn't even have to read the directions it was so simple to use. I used it to capture my teaching in a special education classroom. The mino is so small, the kids didn't even notice it. Next, I used it to video a mini-workshop by three teachers. Normally, they would have been nervous knowing and seeing a big video camera facing them, but the Mino is so small, it didn't cause a distraction to any of the participants or presenters.
I taped a Reader's Theater production and within 15 minutes of the conclusion of it, I had uploaded the entire 30 minutes production to the teacher's computer, installed the Flip software, edited and enhanced the video and posted it to the school's share drive.
Cons: it isn't HD, is only 2GB, lasts 60 mins and only has a 2X zoom
( this is the con that really bugs me) the USB seems a little flimsy, so I purchased the connecting cable, too.
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, easy & quick to charge ( also charges when connected to computer) easy uploading.. especially for people like me with Iphones that don't have video, easy and fun to use software for editing, the quality and clarity of the videos is amazing! The tri-pod looks like it wouldn't hold a fly, but it works great for placing the Mino in an out of the way spot for video capturing. Easy and durable enough for kids ages 4-400 to use!
I only wish i had researched and found out the Ultra was coming out this past April that has 120 minutes of video.
Digital camera Review: Excellent, easy to use and carry

Got this recently. It works like a dream. Its partially pre-charged (nice touch) so you can get down to shooting as soon as you get it. The controls are easy- even the technologically challenged will find it a breeze. The transfer of the videos to the PC is easier. The best feature is the software which is provided within the Mino- so you can download/upload your software wherever you are. The software also makes it easy to upload your videos into websites- the compression feature is awesome.
All in all, for the price its good. Wouldn't have minded if it was a little cheaper, but then the looks you get for it make up.
