Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (Black)
Customer Review: Exactly what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a video camera to record a 7-day bike trip. Most of the video was me talking into the camera as I rode. This camera was perfect. It was easy to hold while riding, fit perfectly in my jersey pocket, had great sound, and the video quality was better than expected. It was also very easy to turn on and record without having to look at the back of the camera. I would recommend this for anyone that needs an easy to use, reliable video camera that takes great video. I made a movie (using iMovie) with the video. Had to download a freeware codec to have both sound and video import into iMovie from Flip, but it was no big deal. The video looked even better on TV. Also, the feature to take "stills" from the video works well. I haven't tried to print one of the pictures, so I'm not sure the quality.Customer Review: The Flip What a great tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Small, simple and super!
Great camcorder that plugs into the pc to immediately share videos on the web or to store on your pc using the USB port.
Also playable on tv with included RCA jacks.
Software automatically loads from camcorder to pc.
I carry it in my pocket everywhere. We were shopping for a refrigerator and recorded pictures and sound for review to compare at home.
Operates on AA batteries. CD's made at CVS (and others) for $12, or you can make your own if you have editing software, etc.
Buy a male/female USB cable extension (about $9) to connect camcorder to pc. More convenient than plugging camcorder into USB port (which you can do).
Probably the best $105 I ever spend on audio/video equipment.
Customer Review: Flip Video is a Great Idea
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product for a gift for someone else, but also received one as a gift myself, from Amazon, so I will do a review. This is a marvelous innovation in video. The Flip Video is easy to hold, operate and small enough to fit into a pocket. The videos come out crisp and clear and the sound is marvelous. I remember years ago, video taping was a bulky, heavy job, but no longer. The Flip Video makes it a breeze. The USB connection on the Flip Video plugs right into the computer to download videos and the cable connects the Flip Video to your TV to watch home videos in full screen color. Also, it does not require expensive batteries. I'm very impressed by this Digital Technologies camcorder. It's a great product.Customer Review: Super easy and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a Christmas present for my 60-year-old father. I told him to open my present first so he'd be able to record the rest of the morning. He just popped in some batteries and, voilà!, a couple of hours later he was posting videos on YouTube. I connected the camcorder to the TV so everyone was able to watch it. Needless to say, it's easy to use, fun, and relatively inexpensive.
Zoom quality isn't the greatest and the colors are a bit desaturated in overcast weather conditions, but that's to be expected from such an inexpensive camcorder.
I definitely recommend this product for anyone wishing to record good times with their friends and family with ease.
Customer Review: simplicity and convenience in small package
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Flip Video camera as a gift for my daughter, entering high school. I have found myself grabbing the Flip video instead of my larger(more expensive) videocam. It is easy to use, very compact, and takes good quality video for a camera of this size/price. The camera downloads videos in a snap. It is very intuitive and a real bargain at this price. We have enjoyed this camera, bringing it along when a larger camera would be a hassle. The kids also fancy themselves moviemakers now :-) I would suggest going for the 60 minute version, in order to have more time between downloads. You will be surprised how often you use this, due to the size and convenience.
