Summary: love my flip video
Comment: This camera is great for those with little ones. I am able to quickly capture first rolls, first smiles, first laughs and post them for family immediately. Dropped the camera on the floor (blame it on Mommy-brain) & it wouldn't turn on. I was disappointed thinking I had ruined it, but took the batteries out and put them back in and it works perfectly again. This was a great purchase!

Summary: Flip software won't convert videos
Comment: I've enjoyed using this recorder, but I've run into a problem you need to be aware of. I taped a 4 minute video recently, with the intent to use the enclosed software to convert it for email and send it to family. The software would not convert the video. And after many seemingly "canned" responses from tech support that didn't address the problem, I was finally told that 4 minutes was too long to convert and that I should make my videos shorter. WHAT??
So please be aware that you had better not plan on making a vid more than a couple of minutes long if you want to send it to youtube or by email - the software won't convert it. And tech support was very unhelpful.

Summary: Flip Video
Comment: The Flip Video is handy and useful. It requires no special setup, just turn it on. It can't replace a more expensive video camera with a lot of bells and whistles, but it does a good job for such a small, inexpensive camera. It can be used relatively unobtrusively and captures the moment. The only drawback is it requires its own software application to view the video. However, it will copy the video in "email mode" which can then be sent to others to view without the special software.

Summary: Flip Video Ultra Series
Comment: I purchased the Flip Video Ultra Series from Wal-Mart.com over the summer and will be using it in my classroom to teach video Podcasting. I carry it in my purse, so I have it whenever that special video moment arises. It is very simple to use, even my 80 year old father tried his hand at it. I did have a little problem with getting the camera to snyc with the computer at first, but Pure Digital was very good at email responses, and in the end we just needed to go to the Flip Video site for the newest software. Pure Digital was willing to send my a new camera if that didn't work. I have since purchased another camera for my brother for Christmas, to take videos of his 2 year old. This will be my Christmas gift for everyone on my list. It is fun, easy to use and the price is right! Two thumbs up for Flip Video!

Comment: Flip Video Ultra Series F260P 60-Minute (Pink) Camcorder + Accessory Kit
I bought this camera (not in pink, of course) for my husband's birthday and he loved it. I have since bought 2 more as gifts and the pink one for myself. The only downside for Mac users is that most of the 'fun' editing features don't work with a Mac, just Windows. My sister (for whom I bought one as a gift) has a PC and really enjoys the editing, adding graphics to the corners of her videos, splicing together small videos, and the list goes on. The quality of the image is extremely high, as is the sound. The plug-and-play feature of the videocam is terrific. The size is perfect for a large pocket, fanny-pack, or purse. It makes a great gift for a birthday, Christmas, graduation, or just because!
