Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black)
Customer Review: flip video ultra does a good job
Summary: 4 Stars
A solid camera for a low price. Very easy to use. Good for quick home videos or to post to website/you tube. Easy to plug to your USB port to download films. Easy to view films on your tv. Easy is the key word. I've had the camera one month and like it a lot. If you want to be able to do real zoom or more fancy stuff, you need a bigger camcorder. On the minus side, the on/off button seems to work ok to start, but I often have to push it multiple times to get it to stop. Battery power runs out fairly quickly, so make sure to have lots of extras. Zoom is only 2x, and when you do zoom, you lose clarity, so I'm not sure if it's an optical zoom or a digital zoom, but don't zoom is the rule. Sound is very good. The outputs are large sized avis. I wish there was a way to choose your output type, but you can always convert them later. Nice camera.Customer Review: Terrible customer service

We bought this to take to Walt Disney World with us. It was great to carry around and the video turned out great. We did have problems putting it on a DVD. I tried to work with customer service but you cannot talk to anyone in person. We used it 5 days. About a week after coming home I was going to use it and when you turned it on it would not shut off and you could not take any videos. After numerous attempts to work with the company, I wanted to return it since it was within 30 days they would not even answer my emails. Thank goodness I bought this through Amazon. I was able to return it through them.
It's a great little video if you have no problems!!!
Customer Review: Ultra-compact and great bang for the $$!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This must be the SMALLEST and EASIEST video camera to use on the market. This is a no frills fills but does exactly what it is meant to do. So easy o use, in fact, my 4-year old is making his own movies with it now! The ultra-compact size, good battery mileage, great portability and USB cross-platform compatibility make it a good deal in itself. The quality of picture is surprisingly good - as long as you DO NOT USE THE DIGITAL ZOOM. The zooming results in grainy & bad image quality, so I keep it at 1:1 ratio all times. Like said earlier this is a no frills camera, but does a great job for being a tiny little doorstop in your hand.
I also recommend reviewing the clips is on a TV monitor (TV mini OUT jack is supplied) or on a computer monitor- the viewer is very small (about 1 1/2" x 1").
Customer Review: Great little camcorder for sharing videos
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great little camcorder for those moments you wish you captured. It's about the size of a cell phone. The video quantity is good for what it is designed for. Sharing and editing videos is a snap with the built in software. The software is very intuitive and straight forward. It has 2x digital zoom. The quality with the digital zoom is iffy. The Flip Ultra uses AA batteries. For me that is a plus. You can use rechargeable AA batteries or buy them in any store. No having to wait while the battery charges. Battery life is good.This camcorder will not replace your full function camcorder for recording sporting events or for subjects that are far away. I use it for those spur of the moment times you wish you had a camcorder or for posting online.Customer Review: Great product for price!

I am amazed at the ease of use, quality of video and convenient size of this camcorder considering its beyond-affordable price! My only gripes would be that there is no pause button and converting videos into a more compact email format is more time consuming than I would have hoped. I find that on my computer, I cannot email videos that are longer than five minutes in length. Other than that though, I would recommend this camcorder to just about anyone.
