Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Pink)
Customer Review: Flip Video Ultra
Summary: 5 Stars
Takes very clear pictures,easy to use and download to computer. Very satisfied with my camcorder!Customer Review: Cool little toy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a convenient way to take film and not carry around the "big" video camera. Now I find I take it everywhere. It is super simple to use and it does exactly what I expected it would do. When they figure out how to get a stronger zoom, it will be perfect. A pretty cool little toy for the small investment! (I haven't dropped it yet but it is so light I hope not to find out what would happen - it feels fragile) Took it to a sporting event where video cameras are illegal. I think the security people assumed it was my cell phone!Customer Review: This Camera Dies Quick! 90 day warentee!

I fortunately won this item. If I had paid for it, I'd be fuming right now!!! I've only had this thing for 5 months and have never dropped it or had anything bad happen to it so far.
All of a sudden about two weeks ago it started asking for the date setup like it was brand new, it also started sucking up batteries in about 10 minutes. Playbacks stop mid video or I get a screen full of static.
I loved the simplicity of this item, it worked so well. Think of it this way, it's 50.00 a month for three months worth of use. I'm bummed.
Customer Review: Good for the price but NO lens protection!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received the Flip Video Ultra and am quite pleased with the video even in low light it seemed to do well. The video looks quite good on your computer screen however when you email it, the quality goes down quite a bit for obvious reasons. Having said all that, there are two things that are disappointing to me.
1. The red record button is hard to push and activate. I have to push it several times to get it going. It should be a little more sensitive.
2. And the thing that bothers me the most is that there is absolutely NO lens protection! The lens is raised a bit from the body and completely flush with the surrounding bezel making it almost impossible not to scratch the lens. Everything and ANYTHING is gonna hit that lens first! Poor design on the lens. How hard could it be to have just have the lens recessed a bit from the bezel to protect it at least a little or even a small rubber lens hood. COM'ON Guys!
Customer Review: Great- for the 3 months that it worked
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a refurbed. Ultra for 118. and it worked mostly well for about 3 months- the limited warranty expired after 1 or 3 months. The audio/video got buggy and started to be out of sync. Then the view finder got streaky (colored lines). And finally, after 4 months, the camera died. Definitely recommend avoiding refurbished cameras. Buy a new one with 1 year warranty or purchase extra protection. This toy breaks down fast.
