In love with my Flip Camcorder September 11, 2009 Tom Raymond (Wausau, WI USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered the Flip camcorder when I saw that it was on sale for $50.00 -- I thought to myself that I couldn't buy a decent still camera for that price, and I could use it for both still photos and for short recordings of videos. It arrived in a few days, and I'm ecstatically happy with it.
The interface is simplicity itself - it's so easy to use that my 10-year-old son used it at a wedding to record the antics of a 2-year-old boy. The supplied software works fine, and it works like a charm with my MacBook's iMovie software as well. It seems very rugged and well made, thus far.
It works, it works well, it works as advertised, and I truly couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Best money I ever spent! September 10, 2009 Joan L. Boney I love this Flip Video so much I can't even tell you! I take dance lessons and tape them to practice with later. It has changed my life and so easy to use!!!
Good Purchase September 10, 2009 Mater Magistra 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the Flip Video for my husband. We didn't want to spend a lot of money any any sort of sophisticated or "semi-professional" equipment. We just wanted something for basic family use. This camcorder is well-worth the $85 purchase price. The quality of video is sufficient for our purposes. My husband spent an hour or two downloading the softwear and orienting himself to the camcorder. It holds up to 30 min of video, which is then easily downloaded into our computer via a USB that is part of the camcorder. It is very compact- no bigger than my digital camera.
Generally, the Flip is easy to use. There has been one problem: the red button designated to start and stop recording is often unresponsive, so it takes several attempts to start or stop recording. We have never been completely unable to make it work, but it is bothersome. Some quick research on the internet indicated this is a common issue, and the button is being redesigned.
Overall, the Flip Video camcorder is a good value for the price.
Flip Fun September 8, 2009 Delighted D Relatively easy to use, love the no flash needed, great picture, easy edit/erase, easy download. Sometimes getting started was a bit clumsy.
Flip video camera September 7, 2009 Kathryn Lusco What a great bargain! I hardly ever record more than 30 minutes of video at one time, so this is a wonderful and inexpensive way for me to record things. We used it on our recent vacation. I took my laptop with us and was able to download the videos after the camera was full and then use it again. The ease of using it and downloading directly from the camera is great. The quality of the still photos taken from the video wasn't so wonderful, but the video was pretty good. One of my better bargain buys!
