- First Impressions
- I just got this product... Delivery was amazingly fast, by the way! It's *tiny*, and that was exactly what I wanted... And it works out of the box... So simple & easy to use, a triumph of design and execution. I have not done any editing yet -I'm looking forward to giving that a try! My first impressions are very positive!

- Excellent!
- This little camera is very good. We bought the mini tripod for it and now tape our ping pong games all the time. It sits comfortably on our kitchen counter and we tape it at will.
Pros: Very small and easy to work with. Extremely convenient. Easy to hold with or without the strap. Easy to store. Easy to take video. Great for new moms.
Cons: The quality of the video is of course not that great. In bright sun light it comes out great but indoors it's poor. Still very good though. Another bad thing is that it is only good for viewing it in small size (600 x800). Any more will distort the video. I wish it would allow more than just 2GB of memory.
Conclusion: I would get one for every day use. The price is not that bad. I took more videos with this than my better video camera even though the quality is not as great just because it is so convenient to use. - 2008-09-12, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Flipped out for Flip Video Camcorder!
- While it was BEFORE Mac Life had given this unit an "AWESOME" rating, I would have personally given it a "Stupendous/Colossal" rating. It is so easy to use, just point and shoot! Watching the seconds of available video time counting down in the corner, it is set in such a way as to not disrupt the monitoring... I used it to capture lightening in the night sky to post on my website.
And so easy to offload! Flip out the USB, connect it to my machine - the editing software for Winders and Mac is onboard the Mino - so you can be ready on a friends machine to download and edit. The format is a nice AVI.. I have a HUGE-Screen TV, and when I plug the monitor cables in from the Mino to play back - it fills the entire screen with great definition video... Verrraaa niiicccceee!! - 2008-09-12, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Awesome and Easy.
- The Flip Mino is a great little camcorder. I did not once look at the manual for operating this thing--it's that easy to operate. Plugging into the computer is a snap and doesn't require any software to connect (software for uploading to Youtube and Myspace is built into the camcorder). If you want to get to the videos directly, just open the DCIM folder and you will see the video files.
Video quality is pretty good. The company claims the video bitrate is 4 mbps, which about what DVDs push. Audio is good (camcorders are notorious for having bad/over sensitive microphones).
In short, it's a great little camcorder for carrying around to shoot quick little videos. While not something to use for weddings or trips, it's very good for what it does. And it's simple as cutting bread. - 2008-09-11, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
