I bought this for my daughter to take videos of her new son. It's easy to use and does a good job. She has been very happy with it. It's so small that she carries it in her purse and grabs it whenever he's being especially cute (which is all the time). She has had a little trouble figuring out how to download the video to her computer, then email it. Not sure those instructions are obvious to someone who is just a basic computer user. Once she has that down though, videos will be flying around the country to family members!

so easy to use, even freaked-out technophobes can play --

buy a charger and rechargeable batteries, and you're set to go.

an amazing tool -- and fun

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Pink)
As a working adult, this product is not something I should have ever gotten tangled up with. The hardware makes for an impresive toy, but it will not save to a computer. I'm sure the product was supposed to, it just doesn't. And yes, if your a kid with a lot of time and energy on you hands, you might actually get it to work, or just kill some time playing with it, but for the rest of us, this is time sorely misplaced on such a trivial device.

I really like this product. It is easy to use and figure out. Installation of the sytem onto my computer took a few minutes but was easy to do.

One of the greatest advantages for me is the portability of this small and slim video recorder. Okay, so higher end recorders take better video but what good is that if you never take those recorders out of the bag? Any quality video is better then no video at all. This Flip Video is easy to carry around everday so you'll never miss capturing that kodak moment.

I do have some issues with the quality of video when enlarged to full screen on my computer. It's a little grainer then I'd like. I see that Sony has come out with a similiar recorder and I'm thinking I should try that one as well.

The Flip Video has great battery life and is pretty much idiot proof for recording, transferring to your computer, editing and uploading onto popular sites. It's also easy to e-mail to friends and family as long as it is a relatively short video. Otherwise, you will need software to get around the file limitations of e-mail. Another problem I have is the transfer to dvd. It is provided at a fee by Flip Video and Flip Video only. I am still searching for a way around this since I bought the product, I should be able to store the video how I want without having the send it to Flip Video for them to process. I don't like the idea of sending personal videos to a corporation.

Nice little devil this one is...
Easy to use, even my 3 yr old figured it out in a jiffy.

It get's hot very quickly, just wondering if it's only this piece.
