 Brilliant piece of kit! October 10, 2008
Received my Flip today (1 day late, but Royal Mail's fault, NOT Amazon's)
I have been looking round for a digital camcorder, some over 100. As I didn't want to spend a lot I saw this one and heard good things about it.
Good things I can agree with.
Came in a nice stylish box (first impressions are important to me), and lifts out nicely with the Flip on top and underneath you get x2 AA batteries, video cable, pouch, cord and manuals etc.
Batteries easily go in the front panel by unlocking it from the bottom and sliding the front down.
Once the batteries are in, it's ready to go! Switch it on from the side, set the date, and then hit record!
Plug it in via USB, installs in a few seconds and you can access all your video files just like you would browse a USB drive or any other memory card.
You can then either copy, edit, burn your files.
The quality I was impressed with. As it uses DivX it does have a SMALL amount of artifacts in the video, but not enough to put you off.
I was very impressed with how it handles different lighting conditions, from going dark to light etc.
Overall, it's a great piece of kit. SO easy to use, no annoying menus, just easy press buttons which do what they say!
Cannot fault this superb piece of kit.
If they bring out one that holds more footage(I know they have the Mino, but it doesn't hold more) I will most likely buy it.
Flip Video October 9, 2008
The flip video is brilliant , the build quality is good and the supplied software which is supplied on the 2 gb built in card is good too. It is very easy to use just point and shoot , and the video quality is very good too. One of the best features of this video camera is that it is small, easy to use and all the things needed to operate are included in the camera , including a flip out usb connecter, this is great as you no longer need to search for the usb cable to connect and download your videos. You can also use normal AA battries , I would recommend this Video camera as its brilliant and less than 100. The built in video software is easy and fun to use also.
Flip F260B-UK Video Ultra Series Digital Camcorder Black October 7, 2008
This item arrived yesterday---very quick postage and very well packed. I immediately tried it out and made a 3/4 hour video. I used the inbuilt Flip software to download the three video clips onto my intel imac. Everything worked perfectly and after download I transferred the .AV1 files (which were stored in the documents folder on my imacs hard drive) into apple imovie 6 HD. I then edited the clips before burning the resulting composite movie to DVD disc (using apple idvd). The image resolution was good--in fact almost as good as I had obtained previously using a much more expensive camcorder. The video had been taken in indifferent lighting indoors, but the resulting images were clear crisp and showed fine colour. The background sounds and conversations were recorded faithfully. I particularly liked the simple operation and the portability of this Flip device. However the supplied batteries ran down after about an hour of use. In future I will use rechargeble AA batteries and make sure I have a spare pair handy if the charge runs out. I am well pleased with this "toy" which seems to give such good results. I am sorry that I missed out on the latest price reduction of 10 butI still think this Flip very good value at the price I paid.

i bought one of these for my partner's birthday along with the waterproof case. initially we were very impressed, but the first time we used it with the case it flooded and wrecked the camera. we contacted Flip who made us send it back to the States for repair. that was three months ago, we've just got it back, and it's exactly the same as when it went away, still doesn't work. so...........nice product but rotten customer service - now waiting for our money back so that we can buy something better!
 Flip Video problem September 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I very happy with the quality of the pictures and would give it five stars but for the one problem I have had. After using it for five or six minutes of filming the red on/off button stopped working and on the switched the filming on after numerous attempts. When I required to finish filming the only way of stopping was by turning off the power switch. My original purchase was returned to Amazon and a very prompt replacement received. Unfortunately the second one has exactly the same problem.Is there a faulty batch? Has anyone had a similar problem.
I do not want my money returned and only wish to have a camera that works properly.
