bought this for my 13 year old son as a gift. what a great product, fun and easy to use.
highly recommend it! Even I can do it!!!!

I bought this camera last Christmas for my 13 year old son. While he has used it himself, I have found it to be so simple that I use it way more than he ever has. Push a button to turn it on, push the red botton to record, and you are off to the races. It cannot be any easier.

At first, I tried uploading my videos directly to Photobucket (photo and video sharing site), but it was painfully slow. Now I just plug the Flip into a USB port on my PC and then upload each file to YouTube or save them to a location on the PC's hard drive. Takes anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes on YouTube, depending on the length of the video. Super simple.

Great item for those who want to cut to the chase. I don't think I would've ever tried loading anything to YouTube had it not been for how easy this camcorder is to operate. It's so easy to share events and holidays with family and friends who aren't near.

This is THE coolest little camera, bar none. It is about the size of a 110 camera, very easy to use, and the orange and white gives eye-relief from all the traditional black or blue electronics! Very fun video camcorder that will make you a star on Youtube, Metacafe, or Live Leak!

I ordered my product in may 2008 but was not able to actually use it until Nov 2008 for various reasons. The first time I attempted to connect my Flip Video to my PC, it did not work. I tried other PCs as well to ensure it was not a computer issue. With nothing working from the camera I contacted customer support. Bottom line answer..too bad, out of warranty, nothing can be done for you. I'm sure the video is a wonderful tool but the fact that the company will not get one to me that actually works taints my opinion about the company. I will no longer recommend this product to any of my colleagues or friends simply by the poor customer support. There are too many other products on the market and companies that do not support their product are off my list. I would have paid to have the camera repaired knowing that it is my fault it was not used prior to becoming out of warranty but that is not an option. Buyer Beware!

I bought the black Flip Video for my husbands birthday, which he loved. It is easy to use and fits in your pocket or back. I knew this was going to be a great gift, so I bought my self the pink one and it is great. I taped the husbands birthday party and it was nice to have the freedom of just pulling it out of my pocket when I thought it would be nice to video. Forget the days of getting the V.C. out of the bag. Simple functions and easy to use as soon as you take it out of the box.
If you are looking for that great gift, with out spending a fortune, This is it
