5 out of 5 stars Perfect!   August 28, 2008
C. Walker (Los Angeles, CA)
This camcorder exceeded my expectations. It has worked perfectly since day one. I am using a Mac and the preloaded software works fine. You can also import straight into iPhoto if thats what you prefer. Battery life is more than enough to record 60 minutes of video. Oh ya it looks pretty cool too!


1 out of 5 stars It stopped working after about a month and a half   August 27, 2008
Paige Kramer (Kingsport, TN USA)
We loved the little camcorder and it worked great for about a month and a half. Then my husband plugged it into the computer yesterday and it was not recognized nor did it charge. Completely dead. Luckily we had uploaded what was on there before the crash. Since others have had similar problems I would hesitate to order unless you got an extended return policy and even then, maybe just look for something else...


5 out of 5 stars So far, so cool.   August 27, 2008
C. Fackler (Southern Indiana)
I have not had a great deal of time to play with this but with the short time that I have, it's been very pleasant. Without reading a thing in a manual, I charged it up via the USB port, shot a video of my dogs romping around outside, and played it back on my TV. I was impressed with both sound and video quality. And so was my neighbor who looked a little disconcerted. I asked what was wrong and he said "That little thing is just about as good as my digital camcorder that I paid $850 for!" Trying to make him feel better, I said "Well, it doesn't have all the cool features that yours does, like color manipulation, saturation and so on." He said, "Yeah, things I never use."

This device proves that bigger and more expensive is not always better. It fits my recording needs just perfectly.



4 out of 5 stars It does what it is supposed to do.   August 27, 2008
B. Belew
The Flip Mino is small--very small and very light weight. It fits comfortably in my pocket and isn't a bother to tote around for hours at a time. The soft pouch that comes with it is very handy and can double as a cloth for wiping fingerprints and smudges off of the unit and screen.

The video quality is good--like a VHS tape that's been used over-and-over again, but with pixely artifacts, rather than a drifting image and fuzz. If you keep the camera still and if the subject of the shot isn't moving too much and if the lighting is decent, the image quality is really quite good--I would compare it to standard definition television. Overall, it's better than your average YouTube video. And though the image does become grainy in low light, it's still suitable for capturing candid moments.

The sound quality is also good and the microphone is suitably sensitive. It picks up quiet speech without too much background noise and there is never a hiss or buzz.

I put together a 30 minute video for SLG Publishing that was shot entirely with the Flip Mino at Comic-con International 2008. I used my MacBook Pro (the newest 15 inch version--purchased in May of 2008) and I edited the video with iMovie. I had to install the Flip video codec that came on the camera's flash drive and I updated iMovie to the latest version of the software, 7.1.4. After taking these steps, everything worked great. I found that the best way to manage the video was to import it using iPhoto (my MacBook Pro recognized the Flip as a camera and automatically opened iPhoto to import the video). iMovie will then add the video to its library for editing.

Overall, my experience with the Flip Mino has been very possitive. It works as it is supposed to and that's really what I want when I buy electronics.

Here's a link to the first part of the video that I made. It might help you to see what the video quality looks like. However, the video has been compressed a second time and is not indicative of the native video quality of the flip.

5 out of 5 stars Easy, convenient, works on my Mac - I love it   August 27, 2008
M.O.B (Massachusetts)
So many times I've been out with my kids thinking, "I wish I had my video camera with me!" I hate lugging that thing in my purse. Got the Flip Mino 2 weeks ago off of Amazon - love it! I use it with a Mac. No problems. Easy to transfer the files and edit them in iMovie. Tip: If you use Mac, iPhoto may open when you plug in a Flip - it will ask if you want to import the files - DON'T. Use the Flip software that's included on the camera -- it allows you to see all the video clips and then decide which ones you want to transfer to your computer. If there's a lot of movement (I recorded my girls singing in the car) the image quality when you transfer to YouTube is terrible -- but overall, I love that this thing is small (with me at all times) and easy (a monkey could use it!) -- It did freeze on me last night -- Pure Digital's tech support kind of seems like 3 college kids in a cubicle -- but I believe this device has a soft reset -- pin hole in the same hole as the tripod connector. Don't press it too hard or you might lose all your video. (There tech support wasn't too sure on that. Hm?) But the soft reset worked for me. Best thing about Flip is you will capture more moments on video - don't expect HD results - but it's better than not having moments on video at all!
