Just want to say that we have put our flip to much use; after a year's hard work we had an issue with the powering on. The customer support at PureDigital was great to work with; timely and helpful. I recommend this product and it's team.
 Stuck in menu screen! Customer service is a joke. October 2, 2009
Sunny Purdin (Denton, TX)
After about three months of owning my Flip, it would get stuck on the menu screen. The response from customer service was to take the batteries out for 24 hours. This is not very practical and it keeps me from actually using the camera. This problem started within the warranty period, but when I revisited the problem again with the company I was told that it was not under warranty. Customer service never fixed the problem originally.
This is a very expensive paper weight.
Decent quality, excellent portability and a low price! September 18, 2009

When I first got the flip my expectations were pretty low - useful for situations where I don't have room for the 'real' camcorder.
That was about 4 months ago and since then the 'real' camcorder has been languishing in its case whereas the flip goes everywhere with us. I love that you can just slip it in your purse (it is a little larger than a deck of cards) pull it out when there is a memorable moment and record it at once! Downloading the video is as easy as pie! the software pops up when you flip open the usb thingie (tech ignorant here) and plug it into your computer. It allows you to edit, merge clips, add titles, etc and is definitely good enough for me. I don't make fancy super edited and workshopped videos of our family so this is perfect. I plug it in, email the video out and the entire family gets to see it.
The only drawback I can see is that the flip out usb seems to be a little flimsy. I have a laptop with horizontal usb ports and I always place the Flip on a book and then plug it in so that the weight of the camera is not hanging on the usb itself. My guess is that it is built to take it but I don't really want to take a chance.
 Flip Video Ultra Series camcorder (30 min) September 15, 2009

I have been using this camcorder for several months now, mostly at rock concerts. The quality of video this records is average, and the sound quality is poor. I have found this camcorder is best used for filming close-up shots where there is very little background noise. The Flip camcorder is very easy to use, but the button for starting and stopping a recording is very hard to push. This leads to shaky filming when attempting to start or stop a recording.
The thing I like most about this camcorder is its size. It easily fits into a shirt or pants pocket. Another great feature is the built-in USB port for connecting directly to your computer for easy downloading (no need to connect with a cable). My MacBook has froze up several times when attempting to download clips. I assume this is a flaw in the Flip video software for Mac because my MacBook never freezes when using other programs.
In spite of the negative points I make in this review I only paid $50 for this camcorder (new, not used) and feel it is well worth this price.

Not the kind of quality you'd want as a film student but as an animator and mom the quality and convenience are perfect.
