Digital camera Review: Awesome 5 star
Summary: 5 Stars
My family loves the Flip including my 80 yr old grandparents. They love it be/c its so simple with no moving parts etc. Just click and record or click and play. The value is incredible (benefit divided by price). Everyone is blown away with the features and results.
Pro
User interface. Simple and eligent.
Video is clear and crisp.
Audio is surprisingly good.
No moving parts.
video capacity (60mins worth)
Built in USB connection
Con
Zoom is a little short however I expected it be/c of the price point and design. It's nothing too serious to prevent me from giving a 5 star rating.
Digital camera Review: Awesome camera for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
Some people complain about the quality but I think it's great. If you buy it to use it for what it was meant for... movies for your computer or online then you will love it.
The video quality is really great for the computer. We bought it to take videos of our child, vacations, etc. It could use some image stabilization because the camera is so small. If you want to use this for videos on your television then you may want something a little higher scale.
It's easy to use and the sound is pretty good. Playback on the unit is hard to hear the sound but not on the computer.
Digital camera Review: Awesome!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple and brilliant video tool, small and light, runs on two AA batteries (get a set of 4 rechargeables), easy to keep in your pocket at all times. Its very few buttons make operation straight-forward, but fully functional, it records in low light or any light, picks up sound pretty well, downloads easily (go online and download the free and fully functional "MPEG Streamclip" software for Mac OSX). Make little films, download, translate, share and have fun.
This gadget is looks unimposing, but does a great job. I first took it to a gallery photo show opening where Joan Baez turned up. Some jerk photographer wanted to have his picture taken with her and she instantly made him go away, but when she hugged the artist of the hour, there was my little Flip to record the two of them and this little thing was so humble and unimposing that I wasn't a nuisance, got to record a great moment and it was wonderful. Since then, I have recorded one teenager at an Afro-Haitian dance concert and the next night recorded another teenager when he was in competition in a county-wide "Battle of the Bands". They made it to the finals, and with the judge's comments mentioning something about needing to work on their 'stage presence', he snatched up these videos to study their performance - point being - quick, easy, pocket-sized, always available, pretty good quality video in a handy package. I carry mine with me always. Using the software, I have even used the forementioned software to save single image frames and email those as photographs in my business.
I read about the Flip in the New York Times. David Pogue is a brilliant tech guy, and he was writing about how he had completely overlooked the Flip for some time because it was so simple and unassuming. As soon as I had a few spare dollars, I grabbed one of the refurbished Ultras and here I am telling you how much fun it is to use. Don't hesitate. It records for an hour. With rechargeable batteries, there is no cost, nor environmental spoilage. Get people use to being around it and then record wonderful, fun and tender moments. This camera is so small that it remains unassuming. Keep the lens clean and be creative !!!!!
