Digital camera reviews of Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (Black)
Digital camera Review: Excellent little camcorder for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
The FLIP Video ultra is so easy to use even I can do it! It's small and compact and features easy access to unload files to my computer. The only drawbacks I found were the audio pickup and having only 60 minutes of time on it. I had a ball taking video with it, and just shortly after I got it, I put together a video presentation for a co-worker who was retiring. It got rave reviews. Again, a great investment for the money.Digital camera Review: Excellent... for what it is!
Summary: 4 Stars
Considering our use of the product it has worked flawlessly and up to expectation. The cameras produce quality video, perfect for capturing "at the moment" clips of life happenings. Such freedom enables the editing in of various clips to enhance any video project. They could also be used for families on vacation or for a special event. With no tapes or recorders necessary simply plug the camera into your computer, copy and paste the video clips and you are ready to share them. How cool is that!Digital camera Review: FIts the bill

I was looking for a point and shoot for video that was simple to use and recorded with quality. The Flip fits that need. You can read the (deserved) gushing praise for it elsewhere, so I'll mention a few things based on my experience.
I'm on a Windows XP platform and had some problems playing the video on a PC with an older version of the Windows Media Player but I installed the ACE Mega CoDecS Pack and that solved it. On a newer PC using Media Player 11, the codec was installed automatically via Internet connection.
The quality of the video and sound is decent; no surprises there. But I'm stunned by how little electricity the Flip uses. I've shot almost an hour of video and replayed a few movies several times with the volume up but have yet to change the batteries that came with the unit.
It's slim enough to put in a breast pocket yet it's length makes it easy to handle without fumbling.
I'd like to find a way to turn off the startup and recording sounds it makes, but there's little else that irks me about it.

Summary: 3 Stars
A nice little pocket size camera that takes reasonably good video.It fits comfortably in a shirt or jacket pocket and is easy to use.
You should have an extra USB cable with it as the built in connector does not readily fit in either one of my computers.The weight of the camera is hanging on the flip out USB arm !!!!
There is NO WAY to directly burn your video to a DVD on your computer. You must take it to a store such as CVS or RITE-AIDE where they will charge you $12.99 for the pleasure + tax.
When recording YOU CANNOT PAUSE, so that unless your shooting one long continous 60 minute video you end up with several short files that hopefully won't be there if you have a video made.
The upload to the internet for mailing was painfully slow!!!!!
It works WELL on the TV with the direct AV cable hookup and showed a surprisingly clear picture.
Overall it's a fun little machine if you don't expect to much, and kids would love it.
