Great Little Camera 
2008-07-05
This is a great camera for short recordings. It fits right in your purse and is easy to use. It plugs right into your computer for easy downloading. If you plan to post to You Tube with it, as it is compatabile, make sure your videos are no longer than 10 minutes each as that is all You Tube allows. Stop recording and then start again for easier downloading.
easy to use and fun 2008-07-03
I read David Pogue's review of the Flip in the NYT and that clinched it for me, particularly at Amazon's price. I know the rechargeable model is now out, which may explain the deep discount. Don't shy away from the battery operated model, however; it's not like early digital cameras that ate through batteries rapidly. It is as easy to use as smart guys like Pogue claim. I love it, my wife loves it, my kids love it. The image quality is only good but having something this small and easy to use makes up for a lot.
The Flip What a great tool 2008-06-24
Small, simple and super!
Great camcorder that plugs into the pc to immediately share videos on the web or to store on your pc using the USB port.
Also playable on tv with included RCA jacks.
Software automatically loads from camcorder to pc.
I carry it in my pocket everywhere. We were shopping for a refrigerator and recorded pictures and sound for review to compare at home.
Operates on AA batteries. CD's made at CVS (and others) for $12, or you can make your own if you have editing software, etc.
Buy a male/female USB cable extension (about $9) to connect camcorder to pc. More convenient than plugging camcorder into USB port (which you can do).
Probably the best $105 I ever spend on audio/video equipment.
We love this!! 2008-06-19
I bought this item because Clark Howard raved about it. He was absolutley right. The Flip is so easy to use. Sound quality is better than I expected. It even has a zoom feature. The Flip is just fun fun fun.
You get what you pay for.

DO NOT BUY. I bought this only to make some Halo 3 Machinima and it sucked. I asked a guy at Best Buy(where I bought it) if it has the attachment for the tripod and it didnt. Almost every time I recorded it fell off. And if you recorded something on the cam and deleted it,it took off that time. As i kept deleting I only had 26 mins. left. Not to mention how bad the quality was. And it was also hard to put the videos on YouTube. It wont save to a folder to upload. Bottom line DONT BUY.
Suddenly just stop working after less than a month! 2008-07-19
I bought this for my daughter BD, she used it once on that day, and once more the next 3 weeks, only about 3 minute-used, suddenly the Flip stop working, thought it just batteries, changed fresh batt's, but NO LUCK!
SHE WAS VERY VERY DISSAPOINTED! NOT-RECOMMEND!
Nifty camera 
2008-07-13
Overall it works great - I wish I was more into doing videos, I take it with me and forget to use it half the time - LOL.
The only negative is that the movie-making software that is comes with really sucks - very limited.
The Flip Video Camera 2008-07-12
I find this video camera to be the 'easiest' thing to use EVER. You don't even need instructions on how to use it. It's super easy and mine will hold one hour of video which can be transfered to your computer 'easily' then deleted in the camera itself. Radio talk show host Clark Howard recommended this on his show and I am a faithful listener to Clark, I tried it and LOVE it, i recommend it myself. Walmart sells this camera for $149, and you can order it here at Amazon for $110 including shipping. Make sure you get the 1 Hour 2 GIG camera not the 30 Minute 1 GIG, 30 minutes isn't enough for the price they're pushing on it. I totally recommend this camera 100%, especially for the electronically challenged people out there. The software that comes with it is easy to use and sets itself up for you to just plug the camera into the usb port, hit the button and the program downloads it for you where ever you want it to go within the software program, you have 3 options, email, hard drive, and burning to dvd, it's so easy to do...really...can't say enough about this product....LOVE IT....
Ready to use

Flip is ok for what we need, it was alittle concern that no software came with the product and we are not high-tech people. we just wanted something easy to use which this is easy to use, wasn't so easy to download to the computer so we could play with the video.
Great for kids--but no tripod connector on this one! 2008-07-09
I assumed this would have a connector for a tripod, which is very important to stabilize during shooting. I am teaching my kids to make their own films, but their hands are very shaky. I was truly annoyed that a simple connector was omitted on this model. I hope it is on the other ones, but it is hard to tell. Why do they sell a FLIP tripod if you can't use it?
Otherwise, everything is great about the FLIP. We've gotten great little movies made out of the supplied software, and the sound quality is great. A good value, but try to buy a model with a tripod connector if you can :(
