Customer Reviews
Quickly replacing our digital camcorder
The flip is so convenient to have everywhere, it's quickly replacing our digital camcorder. And the fact that the video on it doesn't need to be captured from the camcorder to the PC makes it so fast to share the video once it's taken so we're getting to the videos much quicker. The picture quality is surprisingly good, even when viewed on a large screen TV.
One improvement I'd look for, if there's ever a similarly priced camcorder that adds an optical zoom instead of digital, I'd probably buy a new one almost immediately. The zoomed video gets very grainy very fast, makes the zoom almost useless.
It's surprisingly good on batteries. We get at least a couple of hours of recording and transfer from every pair of AA batteries.
I like this thing
At first, I thought it looked more like a toy than a camcorder. It's very light, and not having too many buttons makes it look a bit not so cool. But when I turned it on and started recording, and then viewing it on the tv, it changed my mind! It's a cool little light thing with very acceptable video quality. And it kept on recording for over 2 hours!

Flip video camcorder
This was a Christmas gift for a 14 year old. He has really enjoyed using the flip. The only problem we have come across is that the batteries need to be replaced often.
