I bought this for my 11 year old son as he is a skateboarder and wanted to take clips for U-Tube! He loves it and it is much cheaper than my camcorder!! Very easy to use and worth every penny!!

This is a good product for the money.
Gave it to my 10 year old. She likes to film
her toys and make movies.
Very easy to use on a Mac or PC; comes with nice software that allows you
to edit and upload and share etc.
we recommend it.

The Flip Video cam is just about as simple as you can get. I love it! Quality video and audio combined with ease!

Start right out of the box! Zoom gets a bit fuzzy and you need to have light to record at night or low light. Uploading to computer is easy and fast. Video is really good considering the price. I can't wait for the next advance for this little recorder..I'll buy it !

I've been using my Flip for a couple months now, and it does exactly what I was needing it to do. I was looking for something that could catch the cute little things my daughter does, like sing or dance, or even make funny faces because I was the regular camcorder I had was too big to lug around everywhere. It does exactly that and makes it easy to upload to my photo sharing site. It so simple to use even my 3 year old daughter figured it out in no time. She gets a kick out of seeing herself sing on the screen.

It's a pretty simple interface, it has a small screen on the back, with a play button, record button, trash can button, and a directional pad for scrolling through recorded videos. There is also a zoom function in there, but it's really unneeded. You'd probably be better off just moving yourself forward or backwards in relationship to what you are recording.
