Always on hand... July 29, 2010

I got this as a gift so I can video on the go. I keep it in it's case in my purse all the time. The transfer software is easy to use and there is an iphone app I use so the videos are easy to access on my phone, and my husbands phone. I love the flip channel you create through the software so that when I save to my channel and delete from the device I can access the video from my phone or any internet access. This is easy to use, easy to store so that it is with you all the time. The only disadvantage is the zoom. The viewing on the the device is excellent, but when watching on computer or tv is doesnt look high-def. Over all I would still recommend as it is great to have with you all the time.
Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes July 29, 2010

I bought the Flip HD post Christmas, after Amazon sent one of their usual emails.
After carefully reading over all the reviews this is the one I chose and I am very happy with my choice. My family took it on a ski trip and captured some wonderful shots of everyone skiing, with no problems with the sound! Priceless.
The picture, color, and sound are wonderful. Only two things I would like to see improved is the zoom and some sort of stabilizer. I purchased a tripod but it is not good enough. I have a Panasonic HD that I have used and loved for years, but I wanted something more portable and this does the trick. I will use the big one for the zoom and the lengthy events such as a play or sporting event.
The only "problem" is the battery system. The camera will tell you how much time you have..but that is memory-not the power.
Should you recharge without depleting the battery energy then the battery capacity is reduced forever. I bought rechargeable batteries that can be charged at any time in just 10 min. and lasts as long as the camera memory. This also gave me spare in case I don't have time to recharge.
I would certainly purchase this again...especially now that the price has come down in the past 7 months.

Super easy to use and to create a movie by combining the small clips from the device.
 A Very Good Buy July 28, 2010

I purchased this camera for a Caribbean cruise. It was the best portable camera that I could image. I carried it in my pocket and took it out for recording. The quality of the video is fantastic.
I had a problem with it while on vacation. I took the camera out to record found that the screen was mostly black with some lines. I recorded anyway and found that it continued to record but the monitor was shot. This was after 8 days of use. I contacted support and they had me to try some things but they didn't work. I requested a replacement and they replaced the camera. It took a couple weeks but they honored that warranty.
I recommend purchasing this camera. The editing software that is in the camera was limited but easy to use to edit my video. Here are two videos recorded on the Flip Ultra HD and edited with its software. The camera has rough video when you walk and record, as you can see in the video, but this is great for family get togethers. It's so easy to carry.

 A Disappointment July 27, 2010

I was very excited to get this camera. I read the reviews about the battery problems and thought; "Well there isn't a large enough group of reviewers with that problem to worry me about my choice."
Boy was I wrong.
The battery wouldn't charge from day 1. It would get very hot when it was plugged in to my computer. It would give me battery error after battery error. I tried every remedy I found online and nothing worked. A whole lot of people online have posted about this problem. It is rampant with this camera.
I underwent the terrible process of sending it back to Flip for support. Their customer support is horrendous. The website is poorly laid out, and it is nearly impossible to contact the company. I finally sent the camera back after emailing several technicians (who refused to admit that it was a very prevalent problem with their product).
Several weeks later, I got a refurbished camera in a white box. I was happy. Problem solved, right?
Wrong. The replacement camera HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I now have to use AA batteries to operate the camera, but this thing burns through batteries like wildfire. I had a terrible experience with this camera and cannot recommend it to anyone.
*Here is a review of the other features of the camera, aside from the terrible battery.
It records decent video and the sound is good too. The USB flipout dongle is nice in that you don't have another cable to carry around. However, it is not flexible, so I couldn't plug it into my Macbook because the camera body got in the way. I had to get a separate wired USB hub out to use it without breaking the plug or my computer. The included software is terrible. Clunky, slow, and idiotically designed.
Bottom line: Stay far, far away.
