Our Verdict:
Although the Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation cannot directly replace the full features of a regular video camera, it still earns very good ratings as it takes the word "easy" to an entirely new level. It can shoot and store 120 minutes of video action in a hassle-free, portable, pocket sized gadget at an amazingly low price tag. Recordings are crisp, clear and colorful for a camcorder of this value. Its most commendable feature is its quick start-up operation, which allows you to start shooting in less than five seconds from pulling it out of your pocket or purse. Thats very valuable for capturing unanticipated, spontaneous and spur-of-the-moment action as it happens in real time. Sound quality is also recorder in stereo mode, which is quite rare in such a low priced video gadget. The only drawbacks are its non-expandable memory and the absence of built-in recharging capabilities, but it is by far one of the best camcorders you can buy at this amazingly low price range. So if you are looking for one that is great in video quality yet light on the wallet, go for this one. |

Customer Feedback-
"Purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She is 7, It is simple to use, even for a 2nd grader, and her middle school sister loves to use it too. Video quality is fine for what they are using it for. Purchase the rechargeable battery so it is easy to charge and always ready to go." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "My sister is a little technophobic and yet, she operates the Flip without any problems. I'm really glad I spent the money and got her this Flip Video!" - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Great easy way to capture life's moments. Fits in my pocket, which is great when going on vacation. I hardly use my still camera anymore!!! This is so easy to use. Just connect it to your computer and download." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "For the price, storage space, and ease of carrying it everywhere, I'm giving it 3.5 stars. I removed 1.5 stars because of lack of rechargeable features, and it's slightly heavier than the HD model." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
