 "Not that satisfied - had to return." 2010-08-31
By Lauri Walker (Douglasville, GA)
I ordered the Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 mins in black for my husband's birthday. We tried it out at a wedding, and viewing the videos on the camcorder was fine, but the screen is a little small. However, once we put them on the computer and viewed them, the videos were really choppy. We could hear everything that was going on, but some of the screens would freeze and a minute later, the screen that it should be at would evenutually come up. So all in all, we really weren't able to watch the recordings except for on the small screen on the camcorder. We tried opening the videos in different programs on my computer as well, but they did the same thing. One other thing I didn't like about this was that you couldn't record in low-lit rooms, unless you just wanted the audio. A light/flash would be helpful. It was a pretty big disappointment. I bought it thinking this would be super easy to use, and to get HD video at this price. I don't know if I just got a bad one, because most of the reviews talk this camcorder up. But I won't be buying another one.

My daughter always likes video cameras. When her 8th birthday came up, she wanted a video camera of her own. Under 150 dollars range for grandparents and pasrents to share the cost, this is the one to get. My daughter loves it. I even borrow it for shootings of the events she was in. Can't find anything easier than this one to use. It is for sure the open the box and start to enjoy kind of gift.


 "Do not buy this camera if you want to edit your videos." 2010-08-30
By Travis (los angeles)
I had an old Flip and loved it. I had a Kodak ZI6 that I liked but it got stolen.
Then I got this thing and it is a nightmare. The battery doesn't want to work right most of the time (which I found out is a common problem)and the worst thing is you cannot edit the videos from this camera in an editing system. The only way is to convert the files which is time consuming and a real headache. It takes all the fun out of this camera.

The video quality in most indoor footage is extremely poor and the software that comes with the camera is useless.

Avoid this camera at all costs.


 "Ultra Rugged!" 2010-08-30

I got this for fathers day and was unfamiliar with Flip Video Camera's. My first reaction was the lack of options. I really wanted something with image stabilization and higher HD resolution.

After playing with it for a bit I fell in love with the camera. I bought an HD to HDmini connector to view videos directly to my tv and found the quality, while not 1080p, was still very clear and the colors were vibrant. I still wish the device has image stabilization, but the lack of options is a big plus with a 4 year old. It's a snap to pull it out and start shooting on the fly. No worries of menu settings. Just point and shoot. Low light recording is not the best, unfortunately. There is a lot of graininess when shot indoors or when the sun is down outdoors.

Now for the big test!

While on vacation, I had accidentally dropped the Flip camera into a pool. The camera was completely submerged for about 5 seconds. As soon as I got it out of the water, I opened the back and removed the battery. I then took the device carefully apart and with a can of air blew out the water (which, surprisingly, there was very little inside). I then left the camera apart to sit overnight to dry. The next day, I put it back together and turned it on. It fired right up! This happened about 2 weeks ago and it still works great!! Thankfully I know the biggest mistake that someone can make when any electronic device is dropped in water: TURNING IT ON! I had also dropped a cell phone in the pool and was able to save that as well. But the fact that the Flip video barely took on any water internally is amazing!


 "Worst Camcorder Ever" 2010-08-30
By Alan Sablich
I bougth this camcorder because of the price, portability and the HD feature. The main purpose was to take it everywhere and record all my family's events, specially my daughter's.
I can't be more angry and dissapointed with this camera. From the first day, when I shot a couple of videos, one of them showed a 5 second green screen in the middle of the video. Then I thought it would never happen again, however it's still happening, and even worse, now all videos have a different kind of failure (the latest one is a screen that says "Unplayable Video", and you know what, it was my daughter's fathers day act at school!!!!). It's come to a point where I can't watch videos on the camera anymore, the screen freezes and the only way to restart it is to take the batteries out. I've lost so many family videos, and that lost is worth MUCH MORE than the low price the camera is being offered.

Please, don't waste your money on this item. You will regret it.
