Pros: Flip sure knows how to market to the dumb masses.

Cons: This camera like everything else Flip branded is a marketing driven ripoff. Not even as good as most camera's costing half as much in every way that could matter when it comes to making a decent video. Blurry, poor motion capture, horrid low light worthless fixed lens, non removable battery... and really really really overpriced even with massive 'discounts'

Pros: Easy to use. So far, it has been exactly what I wanted - something to take good quality short videos of our new baby. It has been a snap to put the videos on YouTube to share with family.

Cons: The only downside I see is that the wrist strap is useless. It connects to the Flip by threading it through the bottom, and that would be fine except that the strap also has a loop that screws on and off. The threads are weak and it doesn't hold tightly so we nearly dropped the Flip when the wrist strap separated from itself.

Pros: My wife and I are very pleased with this camcorder. I recorded almost all of my son's first YMCA soccer game this last weekend and all the videos turned out great. The viewing screen was easy to see in all conditions, the camera is easy to operate, and the size was perfect for just pulling it out of my pocket to take a video. After we uploaded the videos onto our PC we were amazed how clear they all were. It was easy to keep the camcorder steady, and when there was shaking we didn't notice it much. Plus the (included) A/V cables worked well for instant large-scale playback. Finally, newegg's price was well below retail.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I cannot say THANK YOU enough to newegg for being so professional with shipping. I purchased 2day shipping and thought it would prob be 3days because I ordered it too late in the afternoon (45min after shipping deadline). I was suprised to see the email the next day that said my item had not only shipped already but was estimated to be on time in my 2day window. I needed it for the soccer game Saturday. I would have been sleeping on the couch had I not had the camera for the game. A local box store had one for $129.99 on sale, but newegg's was $114.99. I was able to get this one and pay extra for 2day shipping and it was still cheaper then the box store. I am just very lucky the thing got to me in the 2days. Although, it would have been my fault had it not arrived until after the soccer game on Saturday because I ordered it so late in the day. THANK YOU NEWEGG!!

Pros: At first my parents were horrified by yet another tech gift, but once I turned it on and they saw that it was easy to use, they smiled a bit.

Cons: Doesn't come with rechargeable batteries.

Pros: Price: I bought 4 of these cameras with money from a grant for the students in my classes.
Easy: The students love to use these for reports because they're easy to use. The videos are saved on the internal memory and hard to delete by accident.
Quality: the videos come out quite decent and have good sound.

Cons: Maybe it's me, but I'm not sure if it can pause while recording. The "flip" out usb connector seems like a gimmick; I would've liked a simple usb or firewire connector. It only records into H.264, which works with the installed software but not moviemaker (which I need to use - Moviemaker is one of software titles the students know how to use and it comes installed on the school computers.) The Flipshare software seems limited from an editing viewpoint.

A wall charger would be nice. I've read reviews that a wall charger for the flip fries the rechargeable batteries.

Other Thoughts: The rechargeable batteries are a must, and having a couple of backup AA's would be prudent. Though many cameras do not have one, an input connection for an external microphone would be nice.

Pros: The screen itself is very bright, even in the sunlight, it is very visible. The resolution that it has on that tiny screen is unbelievable. It Shakes a bit less then the HD version of this camera, probably due to the lens being better. Uses AA batteries or you can get the Li-ion battery pack for it. Very very simple to use and download to your computer. It comes with A/V cables for your TV. The mic records in stereo, and for the price, you really cannot find a camcorder that does, speaking from personal experience.

Cons: It doesn't have expandable memory, which kind of is a bummer.

Other Thoughts: I bought a so called 1080p camcorder that really did have a nice picture, IF you didn't move around at all. It would be very fuzzy when it was moved, whether you were inside or out. I returned the camcorder back to the store and decided to try out a FLIP Ultra Camcorder, and boy was i surprised. It is by far the best camcorder for the money you can buy. I didn't feel like investing into the HD one because to me it wasn't worth it. So If you are looking for a good camcorder that is very high quality and light on the wallet, go for this product. You won't believe the quality such a small camcorder has

Pros: The shake is less noticeable on the standard flip - the HD has camera shake issues (because of the higher resolution). For HD, I'd go with something other than Flip, for standard, I'd go with nothing else for the price.

Cons: Works great, records in low lighting much better than most in its price range.
