5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible product; Super easy to use!!, November 5, 2007
Length:: 0:59 Mins

The attached video was my first with this Flip Video. I feel sorry for my Sony Digital Video Handheld that may never be used again. This little Flip Video is the product of the year, a perfect Christmas present for anyone, children to grandparents. It is so easy to use; I still cannot believe it. Connects to the computer or TV. Easy to record, save or delete.

Comes with a quick start guide that gets you going in seconds. Enjoy!!

*Update 11/30/07 Since using this, I agree with the above review. It is super easy to upload the video, save it and then upload it to youtube or a personal website. The camera software has features that should make it a one step process to share it via email or a link to a website. I have not gotten this to work. Each time the processing stalls. I have emailed to the customer service dept and have received prompt replies but no solution. **See 5-28-09 update below. I have downloaded one software update and that seems to have fixed this problem.

3-24-09 Still working well. I have not retried emailing a video directly from the software. Uploading it to youtube and sharing the link is easier. Making dvd's from the software is easy, too. The battery life of the camera is impressive for 2 AA batteries. This continues to be a great camera for a very reasonable price.

5-28-09 Update...I continue to be impressed with the battery life. I took a 1 min. video today and downloaded it and emailed it directly from the flip video software in under 2 mins. It worked great and sent me a confirmation email with the video attached. When emailed the email body has a link to click on to watch the video easily. This was very easy and further recommends this product.

Good demonstration, except where you said the USB port just come right out of the phone. How come my camera doesn't have a phone? hehe

What, yours didn't come with a phone? You should get your money back! I wonder if anyone else noticed that...oh well, I'm not changing it. Thanks for the humor.

for those trying to email the video, if the video is more than a few seconds long, it will be too large to email. try instead to send an email link to your you tube posting. you can also post your flip video using ZIPVO.com. then email the link ... or I have posted my flip videos on my facebook for my friends and family to see.
****super helpful tip******** don't rename your flip vidoes while under the flip video application. leave them named VID0001, VID00002, etc.. or you will lose record time on your flip.

Do you need to buy separate software for the camera to make a dvd out of your video. I've read in the past that converting to dvd's with this camera is cumbersome or next to impossible.

No software is needed. I have created several dvd's from the camera. I save it to my computer first and then create a dvd.
