Perfect Camera to Throw in your Purse, November 16, 2009
This is a great little camera to throw in your purse. It's super easy to use; even my 6-year old likes to film videos with it. I love how easy it is to download the videos. The only negative thing I have to say about the Flip is the current price. What happened? I purchased a few of these as gifts earlier this summer. . . they were only $50!
Handy camcorder, November 14, 2009
Very easy to use. My hands are crippled and you don't have to hold any buttons down. Just hit record and your ready to go. Also with the hidden usb connector there are no cables to look for when you are ready to download your pictures.
Fun, Fast and, oh, so easy to use!!, November 11, 2009

This is a must have for any parent! Because of it's size and ease of operation, I find myself catching all those little moments whether I'm at home or not. Better yet, as I am often too busy to sit and… edit footage (etc.) I just LOVE how simple the software is to use. Files load on your computer and you can have a fully edited movie, complete with Title page, in a matter of minutes!! No lie! Then burn a DVD, email them to friends and family, send them in an eCard, etc. Snap, just like that!

USB Troubles, November 4, 2009
The flip is a good little recorder, the picture and sound quality is great, but every time I try to put videos onto my computer there are problems. The connection only works on occasion, this is an annoying problem. But minus this it is a great recorder.
Loved it, while it worked!, October 20, 2009

I purchase the flip for my mother as a Christmas gift. It worked great for about 6 months. Very handy and easy for her to use. Great picture and great software for PC and MAC. Loved it! Great value, so… we thought. Then it wouldn't work all of sudden. Never dropped or mishandled. I worked with tech support and couldn't revive it. Only came on with the little flip beep and then turned back off. I sent it to the company to be repaired. Got it back about 40 days later. It worked and they fixed it for free even though it was beyond the warranty! We were so happy. Then on the next outing. Dead. Wouldn't work again. Since the warranty is only 90 days, there is nothing to do, except complain here and get another brand. Sorry Mom!
