Never worked
I got this and it never worked. I didn't know it didnt work because i didn't use it for a while after I got it and I had the original flip video that i loved so i didn't think it would be a problem, but it doesn't work. The picture is fine, but the sound doesn't come out and there is just a buzzing sound. I couldn't return it because it was past the return date so i'm stuck with a piece of plastic junk that i paid over $100 for. I'm so mad.

Flip Fun
I love my new flip!!! I used it right out of the box. Easy to carry right in my purse. I'm so glad I bought it!!

It blows but it's great.
Let's get one thing out of the way. As an all around video camera the Flip blows. However as a "Video Notebook" this is the greatest thing in the world.

Wallyworld knocked the price down to $75.00 (30 minute model) so I grabbed one. I love it. I absolutely love it! If I see something cool while I'm out I can record it. If I want to make a note to myself I record it. If somebody tells me something I say "Tell the camera. It has a better memory than I do". When the boss wants me to do something I have her tell the camera. When a customer makes a complaint I ask him/her to tell the camera and I'll show the video to the manager. When I am out shopping for something I just make little demo recordings of all the possibilities and go over them at leisure when I get home. If I want to show somebody something I just record it and show them.

The video quality in decent light is good. Quite good enough for temporary notes and great for Youtube and Ebay auction demo videos. Actually if the light it good the video quality is very good. It lacks white balance and color adjustments and macro and telephoto and....but what do you want for $75.00 or even $149.00?

As an all-around camcorder though it's very limited but I have my fancy Sony camcorder for doing the good stuff. The Flip is my carry-around fun pocket recorder. It's the one I can hide in my pocket and pull out quick when I need to record something. It's the one that I could lose or drop and not cry too much about it. It's the one that doesn't look much like a camcorder and hopefully won't attract a thief's attention. It's the one I can trust the kids with.It's the one that Grandma can operate because basically it's just two buttons; Power and Start/Stop Recording. Get one. You want one.

You can get a nice waterproof (and therefore dustproof) case for it at a nice price so that makes the camera even better for carrying around everywhere. IE: A Pocket-sized Video Notebook. Sweet!

great item
nice little device
perfectly small...convenient and super easy to use
I am really please with this purchase!

Flip is a Flop
This Flip flopped - the software is buggy. Poor software renders this camera a real dud. I rarely have computer problems, so I believe that this product is a waste of money.
