Flip Ultra 2nd Generation is a Gadget Queen's Dream October 5, 2009 Abigail Soto (Brooklyn, New York United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Cheap lightweight camera that can go pretty much anywhere September 29, 2009 M. Lai 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you're looking for something simple, this will fit the bill. If you need great quality footage, get a proper HD camera with the appropriate lighting and mic additions.
However, for the average joe, this is a great camera to bring on trips. It is only slightly larger than a regular digital camera and takes excellent footage. It records sound pretty well at a normal distance (though you should obviously test this and speak up). We had one our trip to Asia; and even in areas where we did not speak the language well, it was pretty easy to show people who spoke no English how to use this camera. The buttons are VERY sensitive, though and for people with big thumbs, can take a bit of getting use to.
If you are going on a longer trip, you will want to bring a lap top with you to download the pictures. They come off as avi files, so you'll want to make sure that you can read them on whatever program you are using to play back. Most systems should be able to read these files. Also, it recharges via usb port. Hence, if you are recording for multiple days and do not have a lap top, that could be a problem.
I am more than sure that anyone who receives this gift will be recording video footage far more often.
Flip Camcorder September 25, 2009 Christina Hales 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this camera! it fits in my pocket or purse and I can take it anywhere. I use it all the time and the batteries last forever. I wish it had a better zoom, but it is great. you don't have to install any special software on your computer and it is easy to use. My cousin has the HD version and there really isn't much of a difference. I would recommend this camera.
