"So when I was 17 (and convinced that I would someday be famous) I really wanted a video camcorder to try my hand at making movies, or to film myself to see whether I had what it took to be a TV reporter, but never could justifying spending $500+ on one. Over the years I moved onto other tech cravings and ambitions. Then last year a friend showed me the Flip Mino - and I had to have one. It was super easy to use and fun, and I started getting great videos of my own kids - and captured moments that otherwise would have been fleeting, including my youngest child's first steps. I wish this had been around when I was a kid. Anyway, the Mino is great, but it's tiny tiny tiny. That's convenient when it comes to having a camcorder on you at all times, or when trying to get into events that prohibit cameras, and the screen is really small. So I just picked up this new Flip - the Ultra HD. The screen is wonderfully large. It comes with a rechargeable AA battery back, which works through the USB, but it looks like you can throw in regular AA batteries in a pinch. Sound quality is great, video seems even better than the Mino. Only drawback with both the Mino and Ultra is you have to keep your hand steady when filming - but I find that easier to do with the Ultra than the Mino. Also, it's not ideal for filming kids' concerts, because the zoom is only 2x. But for capturing otherwise fleeting moments in great quality, the Ultra HD is now my standby. The software that comes with it makes it easy to email videos to family and friends, or to upload a video to Flickr or wherever. Bottom line is I've been carrying this thing around nonstop since I got it. Hasn't made me famous yet, but I love my Ultra."

"his is what I bought for my husband for Father's Day 2009. Until then, our family videos were taken with either our clunky 10-year-old video camera or his cell phone, both of which produced rather grainy video. It's been nothing short of a heartbreak to see so many treasured moments captured on video that's less than memorable. So when I saw the Flip Ultra HD camcorder on sale on Amazon, I decided it was time to upgrade.

Boy, am I glad I did! We love everything about this camera, from its recycling-friendly packaging (a heavy paper box reminiscent of that used for Apple's iPods) to its ease of setup. Within moments of opening it, my husband had the camera up and running as we captured our son's antics on video. Transferring video to our computer (running Windows XP) was a breeze, and we were both quite impressed with the quality of the picture.

I noted that one disappointed reviewer said he charged his camera for 21 hours but it never worked. I'm not sure why that was necessary: the rechargeable battery pack that shipped with ours was fully charged so getting it to run was a matter of putting the batteries in. Perhaps the other reviewer left that step out???

Anyway, the size of this thing is a bit heftier than my iPhone but still small enough to tuck into a shirt pocket. It's a bit too bulky for pants pockets, though, so like a lot of my husband's other gadgets this one will probably wind up going in my purse. Not a big deal: it's light and small, and considering the excellent video quality I am sure we'll never leave home without it."

"I purchased my first Flip Camcorder about a year and a half ago when I was planning my trip to Ireland. I bought a 60 minute basic Flip and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to use and the great quality of the video. The only downside I saw with the original was the fact that it was only 60 minutes. Enter the new Flip UltraHD Camcorder which has a 120 minute capability. When I first received it, I couldn't wait to try it out. The quality of the video is beautiful and the HD capability really makes a huge difference in my pictures. I love the fact that the camera is smaller than my original camera and that I know can film up to 120 minutes. When I took the camera to Ireland, I found that a 60 minute recording just couldn't be used for a day's worth of sightseeing. I found myself taking short snippets, afraid that I would use up the entire capability until I was able to get back to the hotel and offload the recording. The short vignettes really came across choppy and I was yearning for a larger capacity. This 120 minute model, besides having better resolution, allows me the ability to take the camera with me full day to record. I haven't seen the problem with battery life yet (as I have seen others comment on), so I can't say anything negative. I just love my new Flip and I highly recommend it for any one planning to take a vacation this year. It fits neatly into my pocket and has the capacity and quality that I am looking for!"
