Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (Black)

I bought this for my daughter for a Christmas present, but I think I have used it more than she has, because it is so simple and convenient. I love the fact that you can plug it directly into the USB port of your computer (one less cord to lose track of!). The operation of the camera itself could not be easier, and the software that it comes with it is very intuitive. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes 2 AA batteries, if I were to do it again I would probably get the HD version that has a built-in battery that you can re-charge just by plugging it into the computer. However, all in all I think it is a great little camera for the price and I would highly recommend it.

So far everything I read about this little cam is right on. Now to become proficient with use as I see others have. . .

Great video camera. If you're looking for a easy to use no complicated video camera this is the one. I purchased two for my kids and they love them. They use the constantly. My oldest daughers husband loves to use it and down load everything on their laptop and makes home movies where he invites people over to watch them on his big screen T.V. Everyone should have one.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Thought this video camera would be somewhat difficult to use, lol, but it was ridiculously easy. So glad I bought it. I am catching such great memories of my family. Short battery life is a slight bummer, but wouldn't give it up because of that, lol.

As a grandfather weaned on video tape, I was skeptical when I first saw the Flip. Having taken it our first trip, I was blown away by the ease of use and the simple steps needed to transfer the clips to my computer. Whether you want to use the supplied software (Flipshare) or existing movie making software (e.g. iMovie), editing, making movies and transferring the results are a breeze. Picture quality suffers a bit when the zoom feature is used, but that's a price I'm willing to pay for the exceptional portability.
