Ready to use out of the box, batteries included and installed. Open the box and start shooting videos. I don't like the USB plug, it's a little difficult to plug into my desktop, and I would like to be able to save videos as windows media file to my computer then email. Flip only allows you to upload your video to a site that sends a link to view along with advertisements. Over all for the price It's a must have.

This camera is perfect for me. I have a lot of gadgets, but if they're not easy to use, I drop them and leave them to my more patient, adept husband. I love this camera. It's perfect to fit in my diaper bag, purse or just walk around with it tethered to my wrist. It's light weight, good quality picture for what the product is, and I never miss a precious moment of my daughter learning how to walk, talk or sing to send along to my eager family, or a dare devil bungee jump by aforementioned husband. It was SO EASY to figure out how to download the film, save it to my external hard drive and then upload to our blogs to share with family. You literally just stick it into your computer and it does all the work in no time. So much fun!!

I bought this camera for my wife, who is an avid amateur videographer. She absolutely loves it, and uses it every day. The clarity is great, and the concept even better. every morning I can log on from work & see what my kids did that morning. There is more than enough memory to allow for a week's worth of video, so we no longer bring anything else on vacation. The size allows us to take it anywhere without having to pack anything else on our bodies: hikes, bike rides, etc. I am not a fan of having to use a site like youtube, so we are in the process of setting up our own website so that friends & family can go there to view the clips.

You are going to have great fun with this. And if you have some serious uses for it, all the better. The ease of use only begins with shooting video. Plug it in, and the software pops up to lead you through the various options -- and they've covered pretty much everything you'd want to do with the clips. I prefer to download them and process the clips through Microsoft MovieMaker; I can cut the original AVI files from the Flip down to 1/10th the size as WMV files for less-than-broadband connections -- and email them or put them on a website, all within a quarter of an hour.

Very happy with the 60 minute flip. Used for a family reunion out of town: easy to pack and carry, in-camera software permitted us to download pix to 2 other PC's at the destination, good quality video and sound, just ideal for what we needed and wanted. Price versus quality looks like it cannot be beaten.


->Lowest Price Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

After trying a couple other digital camcorders and having VERY disappointing experiences I bought completely out of frustration and desperation the Flip Video Camcorder from Costco. I figured if Costco carried it it must be pretty good. From the very first time I tried the Flip I loved it! I was a little surprised that there was no big instruction book. It really was and is as simple as it looks. It's amazing! It automatically adjusts to what ever lighting you are in (surprisingly well I might add in low light). The quality is good and it's easy to download from. The only complaint if you want to call it is that I would like to be able to put in an sd card instead of having internal memory. And I find the flip out usb a little cumbersome as it doesn't automatically fit into my desktops usb port conveniently. But those are VERY MINOR complaints. Over all it is and amazingly simple, beautiful and easy to use device! I highly recommend it!

I have had this camcorder for less than a day and I love it! I hate electronics that are hard to operate. Well, it doesn't get any easier than the Flip! And the quality of the videos is awesome! I will bring the Flip everywhere I go!!! And, Amazon's delivery was incredibly fast!

I wanted something small and easy to use and this is it! It's so small it fits in my purse and it comes with this cute little velvet cover so you won't scratch it up. I just love this item. I down-loaded a couple of videos I made last night and the directions were so easy. The only thing I don't like is the connection to my computer. I connected to my Dell monitor and had to balance it on something so the "arm" wouldn't break off, but even with that little problem, this camera is so easy to use with no flash and so easy to download and send through email, it's barely worth mentioning. The price is excellant, it's almost weightless, and the quality is excellent, I would (and have) recommend this video to everyone.

Easy to use, small, powers up quickly, uses AA batteries so no charging needed, uploads easily.

I have a Mac and it was almost idiot-proof loading the 3rd party software. You can also upload videos from the camera without the 3rd party software on a Mac (not sure on a PC). Unlike one of the reviewers below, I have no issues getting the USB arm to connect to my laptop.

Picture and sound quality are good (better than the video on digital cameras of the same size). Overall a great solution for getting amateur video recorded and distributed.

Just received and tested this product. Good to have when traveling light.
Good quality and easy to use. Pretty good in low light situations. Only problems are limited zoom and very difficult to see screen in daylight.

For what this has been designed for it is cool. So simple to operate. I used an extension usb cord for my computer to edit. All of the software is in the device. Sound and video are very good about like VHS. I use my sony stand alone to make the dvds from the camcorder. I have the one hour one and carry it in my pocket all the time. No need to mess with sd memory cards.


->Wholesale Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

Lowest cost, professional quality, speed and ease of use, delivery was fast no wait, very satisfied.


->Comparison Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

even I can operate this. I am the pack horse that carries all of the junk (cameras,batteries,tripod,lenses, etc)in addition to my own purse. I am usually so loaded down, it is impossible to set stuff down in a safe place long enough to get a camera out of the bag. All this said, I always felt like the PRESS with all of the cumbersome equipment and it was just a hassle taking pictures. NOT ANYMORE. . .
I have been liberated. I can now fit this light weight, small video camera in my purse and I WILL ACTUALLY USE IT because...I CAN. I am not one to read directions either. It is so simple to use, I just played around with it for about 2 minutes and I was ready to go. The videos that came out of it were nice quality and can be replayed instantly. It is easy to connect to the computer and transfer the pictures. The only thing easier is having someone else take the pictures, but then I would miss out on the fun. Do yourself a favor and get the 60 minute one. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I recently sold our previous camcorder, and had decided to get a smaller more portable unit, probably with an included hard drive to ease video transfers to and from the camera to our mac. I ran into the Flip Video Camcorder and it's just what we really needed. It's extremely small and portable and my wife never leaves the house without it. It's a bargain for the price, and the compact size allows it to be carried around with less care than an expensive device.

The quality is obviously not as neat as an expensive camcorder, but it's good enough to be seen on a normal VGA display like a standard TV. Good enough to preserve memories, and/or publish them on the web if desired.

I didn't give it 5 stars, since I still believe there is room for improvement, like to add additional playback controls on the unit, and to allow the user expansion of memory. (There is a slot on the top of the unit, which seems like an expansion slot, but I've found no documentation about it).

I purchased the Flip Video after reading about it in a local paper. It has been great fun taking video of life events we never would have captured if we had to carry our bigger camera. It is so small and light weight, it is easily carried in my purse. The video quality is remarkable, even in dimly-lit situations. The zoom takes some practice. Very good sound quality. I had no trouble downloading the clips to my Mac. The 60 minute version allows more video time away from a computer for down-loading.

We have used this camera several times now and have found it to be quite phenominal. The download process was a little cumbersome at first but now works well. Playing a video on the 50" plasma is a lot of fun. It shows very clear. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a quick, easy little video camera to use.

I got this camera for Mother's Day and I LOVE it! The only thing I would change is to have a rechargable battery.


->Price Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

OK how many people have video cameras that sit around, never get used becuase of batteries, tape, lugging it around etc, etc. Then IF they take videos they never watch them becuase it's too much trouble. Enter the flip. If you love your digital camera then you'll love this. I took my first video WITHOUT removing it from the package! That's how easy it is. It uses standard AA batteries and I've plugged it into 3 computers to play or download videos without any problems. All the software is contained on the device so there's no CD to install. I have the 1 hour model which is all anyone really wants to ever see of one event anyway. This will do for video what the digital camera did for photos.


->Wholesale Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

This is the best thing ever. I have a $1000+ camcorder that is so complicated I have used it about twice. I have already used this Flip camcorder many, many times after having just purchased it a week ago. I record things just for myself so I can't speak much to the picture quality, but it certainly is great for what I do. I also film my daughter's horseback riding competitions and I cannot wait to use it for that. I've downloaded what I've taken already and it was quick and easy to do. I can't recommend it enough. The only negative I can think of is that the zoom is not that great, but that is a small thing when looking at the overall ease of using this product. GET IT! You will not regret it.


-> Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

Bought this camera on a whim a few weeks ago, and recently returned from a vacation with it. Easy to use, convenient to slip in a pocket, and the quality is excellent. I even let my kids play with it, and they had a great time. It's perfect for that---at the price, practically disposable (practically....).

This is so easy my 60+ parents and my 3 year old nephew can use it. And the quality is good enough that I enjoy it. This is the perfect size to carry in my purse at all times... so I never miss those shots.


->Compare Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

Original review: I was pretty excited about this little gadget taking it out of the box - using it for the first time was pretty intuitive with very little instruction. Playing videos on the tv was easy although I would recommend viewing them on the computer - a little jerky for TV viewing.

We broke down when we tried to connect to our computer. This is not plug-n-play for everyone! Despite having all the system requirements and showing a connection through the USB port, we could not get the system to show us the flip-video icon to load the program. The instructions are very vague. Even the 23 page FAQ on the website didn't give much detail at all. I emailed an inquiry to them - hopefully they will respond quickly with a workable solution.

Update: Customer service was prompt and courteous in responding although each of our interactions except for one took 24 hours turnaround time. One recommendation at a time, they suggested reinstalling, checking USB ports, disabling USB2 ports, and trying to install the camera on a different computer to check to see if problem was the camera. After a lot of digging and experimenting on our own, we figured out that on installing, the camera program was trying to map itself to a drive that already existed on our network. It could not see any other drives except those on the local computer. We remapped the network drive and allowed the camera to choose the drive it wanted on the local computer. We're up and running.

We took the camera in to have a DVD made of our video which was pretty easy although Wolf Camera needed 24 hours to process. The DVD is easy to work with but we noticed that it won't share videos with the standard WindowsXP video editing software.

It even works before you take it out of the package. Edit by just draggiing the cursor to a start and stop point. You can also add your own music to the background of your video and it will mix your different videos together. This is really amazing technology for the price. An idiot could work this in the dark. Plus it works fine inside with natural lighting at night. It even zooms and weighs nothing. I've barely had a chance to really put it to use. Everyone is amazed by it.

PROS:
* Inexpensive.
* Conveniently small size (fits in a shirt pocket).
* Easy to use.
* Easy to just drag movie clip files straight over to hard drive (they are stored in the DCIM folder sequentially).
* Movie files in the AVI format (but see Con comment about codec below).
* Easy enough to delete clips you don't want to keep.
* Play straight to TV.
* Seems durable though no protection for lens or playback screen.
* Uses ordinary AA batteries.

CONS:
* Menu buttons a little hard to press (zoom & volume control)
* USB connector arm bad idea. Should have just been a USB socket. Never matches up with the USB socket on any computer or laptop so you have to get an extension cable anyway which can be difficult to connect without breaking the arm off.
* Uses DivX codec (technically 3ivx, Wiki the difference if you really want to know) which means having to install one of a variety of 3rd party plug-ins. Would have been nice if they could have used H.264 but using 3ivx probably helps keep the cost down by using a less powerful chip.
* Included software was a hack job, UI is terrible.
* Silly proprietary interface at the top to burn contents to DVD at participating stores. Just a way for water to get in, should have been a memory card slot.
* Included carrying bag just gets lint all over it - don't use it.
* Sound playback level is lost once the unit turns off which means having to turn the sound down every time you turn it on.

CONCLUSION:
If you really want to record some video to edit on your computer but don't want to shell out hundreds for a digital video camera, this is a worthy alternative. Go ahead and get the 1 GB version (1 hour) since there is no memory card slot or upgrade path. After installing a DivX plugin on your computer, you should have no problem editing the clips in your favorite movie editing program like iMovie. I had to install a plugin on both my Intel MacBookPro and Dell 8600 Windows XP (SP2).

Accept that you are going to have to purchase a short USB extension cable unless your USB ports are on the side and the extension arm lines-up perfectly (i.e. the computer doesn't put any weight on the arm). Even a short 3 ft cable like Cables To Go 19003 3-Feet USB A/A Extension Cable will do. The kind you need is a USB A socket on one end and USB A plug on the other (if you can connect the cable ends to themselves and make a hoop you probably have the correct one).

This is a great first try but there is lots of room for improvement like replacing the connector arm with a USB socket, ditching the DVD burning interface for a memory card slot and making the menu UI buttons easier to push.

This is a well thought out and handy little camcorder. I put mine in my briefcase for those moments when I don't have my regular camcorder available. Super easy to download and email. Uses common (AA) batteries. Video quality fine for what it is. Can't go wrong for a hundred bucks!

This is my 2nd camera. I bought a previous one and gave it to my son to take pictures of his baby... GREAT tool... One of the most innovative I've found in the marketplace. For anyone who thinks it's easy to change formats/transfer data/video etc. from machine to machine.. they're wrong and this solution is the BEST quick and dirty I've found. Takes all the pain out of putting videos on the internet! Use it lots for sports, fun, and just throw it in the purse for those `moments' .

If using and enjoying this little gem were any easier, well, someone else would be operating it for you! Superlative "User friendly" camcorder.
With no pretense of being an SVGA professional camcorder, the Flip Video is built for immediate out-of-the-box FUN! The videos looks great via Windows XP Media Player and I had to smile as I enjoyed watching it play on my TV.
The sound is remarable when you consider the built-in mic's size!
I love it! I will enjoy it! I will also enjoy getting a couple for my siblings (GREAT gift idea!)
PS: I found it to be very "battery-friendly" as well! That, alone, is worth the cost!

This is a great device. Unless you are a professional it has all you will ever need in a video camera. It is a simple point and shot with a zoom that is adequate for most tasks. The ability to just flip out the USB on the side and load the clips directly onto the computer makes life so much easier.

What wasn't clear when I bought it was that the video is stored in a series of clips. This allows you to flip through them and delete the ones that you don't want. I really like this ability.

The camera is small and compact. I find that I have it with me more often because it fits into my pants pocket. Try that with a regular video camera.

Overall this camera is awesome. It's inexpensive so you don't worry about the kids making their own videos, it small so you carry it more often and it takes great pictures. I loved it so much I bought a second.

Skip the clunky videocam or tiny capacity for video on your digital camera or cellphone. This little number lets you record up to 60 minutes of perfectly decent video and upload it directly to your computer via USB. My only complaint is that the USB connector might be a little touchy, I think especially for Macs. But don't let that stop you from trying this gadget...it's a bargain and perfectly handy.

Simple and straightforward. Would recommend it, if for simple daily out of the pocket use. Nothing more advanced.
Sound is great, image slightly saturated but i like it, works well in low light, quite quick (2 seconds more or less from start to shooting), TV quality is great, application+driver are on the memory (no instal required), ...

Downside: not enough configuration (no menu, not able to disable the sounds, ...). Able to take a still picture from the application (once camcorder connected), but not from the camera itself.

I wanted a cheap camera I could take on a vacation to Mexico and not worry about. Not only did this camera work for my wallet, but when I got back I could literally bring it to my friends house and plug directly into their TV to show them my adventures. This is a great product for a vacation or everyday events!


->Price Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

I bought at least 5 different video cameras in my lifetime and I never was happy with any of them (even the camera that cost me $1,700). Either they were too big, too hard to use, not durable, or the quality suffered. I love to shoot videos of the kids soccer games for the grandparents, video when we are out and about, or just video the kids playing for us to watch when they are heading off to Prom to embarrass them in front of their dates. I must have invested 1000's of dollars into different options and I have never been happy. Until now...

I found what I have been searching for finally. This video camera is amazing, the quality is as good, if not better than the $1000+ cameras. The camera is simple enough for my spouse or kids to use it, and it really is light and compact enough to carry anywhere you want to go.

I bought two of them, the price is so great, and I love having one in my car for those times you wish you had a camera, and then one at home or when we are traveling. The price is amazing, so you don't have to worry that your kids are going to run over it with their bikes (it is very durable as I have dropped mine many times with no problems), and you can fit is nicely into your briefcase or purse.

Plus, the best part is how easy it is to play the video on your tv, or transfer it to your PC to email to friends or make movies to burn to CD or DVD.

What a great invention, I really suggest this is the next generation of video cameras, and if you are looking for a video camera, you can't go wrong with this one! It is amazing!

i love this camcorder! it's the easiest electronic product i've ever purchased. i use it to film all the random moments that can't be captured in pictures. the software is pretty awesome too.


->Price Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White)

This amazing new product literally changed my life. As a parent, I carry it around with me all the time, because you never know when you might want to capture a cute, funny moment. It's the size of an iPod, so I can easily pull it out to shoot videos of my baby on a moment's notice. It turns on and starts recording in an instant, zooms in & out, and shoots very high-quality video.

The best part is how easy it is to share videos via the web. The camcorder has a USB arm that pops right up and can be inserted directly into your computer. You don't even have to install software because it all runs right off of this nifty little device. Once you open the interface, you can email videos privately to family and friends, which is a great way to stay connected.

I've also edited videos, added music and posted my footage directly to YouTube right off the camcorder. It has a cool way to make musical montages by combining mutlple clips into one highlight video.

My Sony camcorder literally just sits in my clost because it's never accessible for unplanned moments. Also, trying to edit & email those videos was a nightmare. Now, I use my Flip Video camcorder instead. Because it's so easy to use, I've noticed that I now shoot video instead of photos a lot of the time. I honestly never knew video could be so much fun.

A must buy.

Great little camcorder. Very easy to use, and I love that it lets you automatically make movies with a soundtrack, transitions, & all from your videos.

I had bought Pure Digital's earlier Point & Shoot version for my 14-year old daughter's birthday (Pure Digital PSV-351 30 Minute Point-and-Shoot Camcorder), but admit I've been using it as much as she has, so finally broke down and got one myself. I also appreciate that it makes it easy to upload videos to YouTube (a great new feature), so now my videos can live in infamy next to hers.
