 One huge flaw that affects all of your videos October 22, 2009

I've been using this camera for a few months and have noticed one major problem. All of the video it takes is somewhat zoomed in. Even if you use the controls to zoom all the way out, the video appears to be zoomed in. In other words, it's the opposite of a wide angle lens.
This is terrible when shooting in close quarters. I use the camera for taking video of house tours and it makes every room seem so much smaller than video taken with another camera or photos taken with another camera. You get so much less stuff in the shot and have to try to back up all the way into the corner of the room to get even a decent shot of the room.
If you want to see what it's like, take your digital camera, zoom to 3x, and see what it looks like. Understand that that's the furthest you can pan out with the Flip.

We bought this as a birthday gift for my 11 year old. Awesome. His big brother (15) and friends use it all the time also. It's a great first web camera.

After reading many reviews, we bought the Flip for our son for his 8th birthday. Within minutes of opening the box, he had the batteries in, the camera on, and was recording his sister dancing. He figured everything out on his own. We have a MAC and it's completely compatible with imovie/iphoto. According to my son, "It's really easy to use the camera and it plugs right into the computer. It's a great size and easy to hold. I love it!"

We use a flip video for our horse drill team to record practice and performance. It is so easy to use! It is a great tool to critique ourselves and improve our performance.

I got this for my mother as a Christmas gift. It worked great for about 6 months. Then it wouldn't work all of sudden. Never dropped or mishandled. Worked with tech support and couldn't revive it. Only came on with the little flip beep and then turned back off. I sent it to the company to be repaired. Got it back a about 40 days later. It worked and they fixed it even though it was beyond the warranty! We were so happy. Then on the next outing. Dead. Wouldn't work again. Since the warranty is only 90 days, there is nothing to do, except complain here and get another brand.
