 Not that good November 22, 2008

Just ordered and will return this item. Eventhough the Flip is easy to use, the quality of the video is poor at best. For $235 the quality should be better. My Nikon Coolpix digital camera takes better video and zooms much better.
 Outstanding product, great value, few deficiencies November 22, 2008
Gary Nickel (Missouri City (Hou), TX)
This is the first video camera I've ever owned (I'm 58 yrs old), and I love it! Video quality is excellent (even in low light). I have not tried viewing it on a large TV, but the playback looks great on a 19" monitor. Best quality is observed at the "normal" size (about 8" diagonal) but the full screen version is perfectly acceptable. Audio quality indoors is good up to about 8 feet from the subject. Comments made by the person holding the camera while recording are extremely clear.
Battery life so far has been NO ISSUE. A continuous 30 minute recording does not even move the battery charge indicator bar. Beware of incredibly large files though! A 30 minute recording will consume 900 Mb, and I've found no way to share files that large. There must be a way to convert the files to DVD on the computer, but I'm not savvy enough to figure it out yet. The included software says you can edit the files too, but the instructions have thus far eluded me. I consider that to be a user problem, not a product issue. Just be prepared to dedicate a LOT of computer memory to file storage!
Another restriction is camera shake. Mino is so small and light that it's nearly impossible to hold steady. Pressing buttons to zoom or start/stop will almost certainly result in a shake, but most people will figure out how to clip the ends in editing. I did buy the little tripod which eliminates the problem.
Despite the few difficulties, I do highly recommend this camera after 3 months use.
Fantastic... November 22, 2008

Love the Convenience November 19, 2008

I love the convenience of my Flip Video. It fits in my pocket so I can carry it anywhere. When I'm ready to download my videos, I plug the camera directly into my USB port and click on the prompts that pop up on my screen. I am not a technology geek, so this is the perfect video camera for me.

Great Christmas Gift November 18, 2008

Bought 4 minos (Amazon had the best price), one for each of my adult children and one for my sister! It keeps us all connected! My sister is retired and RVs so she shares the wide-open spaces as she travels. Nothing beats viewing the grandkids on video almost instantly! I feel pretty smart with my Christmas shopping this year.
