Great Little Camera
This is a great camera for short recordings. It fits right in your purse and is easy to use. It plugs right into your computer for easy downloading. If you plan to post to You Tube with it, as it is compatabile, make sure your videos are no longer than 10 minutes each as that is all You Tube allows. Stop recording and then start again for easier downloading.

easy to use and fun
I read David Pogue's review of the Flip in the NYT and that clinched it for me, particularly at Amazon's price. I know the rechargeable model is now out, which may explain the deep discount. Don't shy away from the battery operated model, however; it's not like early digital cameras that ate through batteries rapidly. It is as easy to use as smart guys like Pogue claim. I love it, my wife loves it, my kids love it. The image quality is only good but having something this small and easy to use makes up for a lot.

The Flip What a great tool
Small, simple and super!

Great camcorder that plugs into the pc to immediately share videos on the web or to store on your pc using the USB port.

Also playable on tv with included RCA jacks.

Software automatically loads from camcorder to pc.

I carry it in my pocket everywhere. We were shopping for a refrigerator and recorded pictures and sound for review to compare at home.

Operates on AA batteries. CD's made at CVS (and others) for $12, or you can make your own if you have editing software, etc.

Buy a male/female USB cable extension (about $9) to connect camcorder to pc. More convenient than plugging camcorder into USB port (which you can do).

Probably the best $105 I ever spend on audio/video equipment.

You get what you pay for.
DO NOT BUY. I bought this only to make some Halo 3 Machinima and it sucked. I asked a guy at Best Buy(where I bought it) if it has the attachment for the tripod and it didnt. Almost every time I recorded it fell off. And if you recorded something on the cam and deleted it,it took off that time. As i kept deleting I only had 26 mins. left. Not to mention how bad the quality was. And it was also hard to put the videos on YouTube. It wont save to a folder to upload. Bottom line DONT BUY.
