Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Orange)

This is a good product for the money.
Gave it to my 10 year old. She likes to film
her toys and make movies.
Very easy to use on a Mac or PC; comes with nice software that allows you
to edit and upload and share etc.
we recommend it.

The Flip Video cam is just about as simple as you can get. I love it! Quality video and audio combined with ease!

Start right out of the box! Zoom gets a bit fuzzy and you need to have light to record at night or low light. Uploading to computer is easy and fast. Video is really good considering the price. I can't wait for the next advance for this little recorder..I'll buy it !

I've been using my Flip for a couple months now, and it does exactly what I was needing it to do. I was looking for something that could catch the cute little things my daughter does, like sing or dance, or even make funny faces because I was the regular camcorder I had was too big to lug around everywhere. It does exactly that and makes it easy to upload to my photo sharing site. It so simple to use even my 3 year old daughter figured it out in no time. She gets a kick out of seeing herself sing on the screen.

It's a pretty simple interface, it has a small screen on the back, with a play button, record button, trash can button, and a directional pad for scrolling through recorded videos. There is also a zoom function in there, but it's really unneeded. You'd probably be better off just moving yourself forward or backwards in relationship to what you are recording.

Great little camera BUT I tried to use it for recording a presentation to do presentation skills training and the sound quality was just not good enough or loud enough. The picture was good. It is also very difficult to pan smoothly or zoom smoothly when using the little tripod. I wish it had the ability to have an external microphone and remote control. I had to return it because it did not meet my needs for this specific use. For personal use it would be great fun to use casually. Very easy to use on Mac and PC.
