- Flip Mino Series Camcorder
- This camera is very easy to use and so compact. I bought this for my husbands birthday. He is a hunter, not a shutterbug...until now. He takes his Flip everywhere he goes. It does very well in low light situations. First video was at night of a skunk crossing the road and approaching the truck. It was a short clip but it was very clear. My only concern is the rechargeable battery. If it goes bad it must be changed by professionals. We shall see how well this design feature works. Everyone should have at least one!

- Little Marvel!
- This is my second Flip. The first Mino stopped working after 2 days. It just suddenly wouldn't power up. Amazon was great with the exchange.
I've had this second Mino for 3 weeks and have used it indoors and out including a 4 yr old birthday party and various outdoor activities including farm visit, amusement park, etc. I've shoot interior scenes pointing to bright sunlight, fast motion and have been impressed with the overall quality of the videos. Transitions between dark and light was quick and good. Video playback on a 37" HD screen was quite acceptable. The camera will not provide super high quality images but for everyday personal use, it's great.
Some reviews have complained about sound pick up. I think considering the price and size, sound is fine. Both outdoors and indoors, I've been able to hear most everything. Unlike another reviewer, when I turned up the volume during playback or directly on the laptop/tv, sound was plenty loud.
File transfer has been easy and seamless on 3 laptops and 2 desktops. I've also had no problem using the Youtube feature. Have only used the editing features slightly but so far it's good and easy! That's really a major feature... everything about the Flip is easy... you can figure out how to do anything without downtime. It's so easy that I would highly recommend it for any technophobes. - 2008-09-15, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Flip over Flip Mino
- A cute little camera that makes it easy to catch unposed videos. The software that comes with it also makes it easy to email them. The zoom feature is modest, but better than nothing. It handles the transition from bright to dim light fairly well. If you don't expect Hollywood quality video, this is a great camera.

- Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder
- Had bad experience with 2 of these in a row. Cool product just maybe too soon to buy, They need to get the bugs out. I had the veiw finder screen go weird on one and the next one shut off after a brief session and never came back on. Maybe next years model.

- Don't Leave Home Without It!
- Wow! Simple & great quality! I love the simplicity of this camera! The point & shoot capability is awesome! The quality is good! The ease of use when connecting to your PC is fabulous!
The editing software is basic, but does an ok job. Beyond the simpleness is a minor learning curve, but don't make it too complicated on yourself. This is really a nice, small, convenient tool! - 2008-09-13, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
