 Easy to use point-and-shoot-video October 10, 2009

This is the third video camera I've purchased since my daughter was born...a really long time ago. I've progressed through technology from 8mm tapes (the first) to direct-to-dvd recording (the second)and now to the Flip Ultra.
This camcorder has some major positives.
First: Simple out-of-the-box setup. After you insert the included AA batteries and turn on the machine, the Flip prompts you to choose your interface language and set the date and time. All of these are completed with an intuitive (and familiar to most digital camera users) 4-way controller button. Less than a minute. It took me longer to attach the cord for the wrist strap.
Second: Ease of use. Four buttons: power, record, forward and delete plus the four-way ring controller (for zooming and scrolling through stored video). I complain frequently about inadequate documentation for users. This hardly needs any due to its simple, intuitive interface.
Third: Ease of offloading/sharing. You can use Flip's own site (I haven't tried yet, but it looks easy enough). It's bundled software will also send from the camera (via your Internet-connected computer) direct to Youtube and myspace.It will also create a folder (and convert from the default .mp4 format to .wmv) on your PC to store your video before transfer to other video-capable sharing locations online. Connects to a computer via a concealed USB port, which is the only other user interface on the Flip.
Finally: Flip's sharing software (embedded in the camera) is relatively easy to use. Anybody who used a record-to-dvd camera in the past will remember nested sets of folders for audio and video that could easily confuse the less technically inclined user.
Shortcomings: Nothing worth griping about at this price point. Video resolution is 640x480 at 30 fps. This is not going to mistaken for high end video. In good lighting the quality is perfectly acceptable; dimmer light adds obvious graininess. The USB port flips up from a recessed stored position on the camera's side. I connected it without problems to a desktop, laptop and netbook, but I recommend making sure you have USB extension cable, because of the location of USB slots on computers is variable.
For a little more than a hundred dollars, this is a very portable, extremely easy to use camcorder. Perfect as long as you manage your expectations on video quality.

I just received my camera and I love it. Just had a baby and wanted something extremely easy to use and portable, so we would actually use it!! I have a very nice larger camcorder but its too cumbersome to carry around and my wife has no clue how to use it. This is perfect and we can easily upload the videos to [...] to share them with family. The upload feature is directly on the software that automatically loads when you insert the USB into the PC. Great value, and I look forward to taking it with me when I go scuba diving (with the underwater case).

I'm known as the family photographer not because of special training but just because I take pictures / video at almost every family function and though I am an amature, I'm told I've taken some really good pics / video. That being said, I wanted something that was portable, easy to use and SMALL to capture not only those family moments but those spontaneous moments with friends and life in general. The Flip Ultra 2nd Generation is that VIDEO camera. Its not fancy but if you're in it for the fun of it and want good quality video that you can e-mail to friends/family or upload to social websites, then the Flip Video Camera will be your newest friend. No video tapes to buy and no extensive "How to" to read. Just plug and play and you can use it on different computers so you are not tied down to having the software on just one computer as the sofware is in the camera itself. You can't take pictures with it but I have my digital for that so its no biggie. Simple but good quality is what I wanted and that is what I got. Enjoy!

This is a great camera. The pictures are good and it is so portable!. The pictures are a little slow to upload to my computer, but the software is very easy to use. I just love it.

This camcorder takes some getting use to. Although you had pushed the stop record button does not mean that is has stopped recording. This quality is good and it is very portable, just stick it you pocket and go about your business. I have found that the lens can get your finger print on it very easy and I have to remember to wipe it off before shooting.
