Comments about Flip Video MinoHD Video Camera (Silver, 1 Hour):
The MinoHD Video Camera which we purchased was a
Christmas gift for our grandson. He is at school
in Hawaii right now and will be traveling to Cam-
bodia and Japan the first of the year. He wanted
a Video Camera to take on his travels to capture
some of the sights he will be experiencing. One of
the best features of the MinoHD Video Camera is its size. It is so convenient to pack up and take on trips, such as he will be taking. Thank you for such a wonderful product!

The best quality about this cam is that it met the needs of the current specs of any tech gadget... ready to use straight out of the box. no software cd-s, no wiring and no OS driver upgrades.
The software that came with it was easy to use as well. everything straight to the point. with the price you pay for it, you get a great/fun gadget in your pocket.

Picture quality is great and it's very easy to use. The pop-out USB connector is very handy. This is the one hour version, but you can get ones that have more if needed.

Purchased this for my wife for Christmas so she would stop bugging me to take video with my Canon Rebel SLR camera. I also wanted a video camera that works well with both the Mac and PC. It does not offer much on the zoom; it only has minimal digital zoom. I first looked at other inexpensive, compact HD cameras that had optical zoom but couldn't find one that worked for Mac and PC. For the price, you cannot beat the Flip. It's small and easy to carry in pocket or purse. Everything you need is encased in the one little camera. Just flip out the USB plug and you are ready to transfer files or charge it on anyone's Mac or PC. Also comes with nice utility software that installs from the camera. After half an hour with this camera, I had taken some videos and used the software to trim and combine several videos into one video (which even included a title and a trailer).
I would have preferred if you could swap out your own SD card. If you are buying a Flip, make sure get 3rd generation like this one so you get image stabilization. We have a ton of pictures of our children and pets right now and not much video. I expect to start getting lots of family videos with this camera.

Comments about Flip Video MinoHD Video Camera (Silver, 1 Hour):
I bought this for my 14 year old daughter. She wanted a really simple, easy to edit with little cam corder.
As a professional cameraman, using big expensive cameras, I actually find this little gem annoyingly good.
It's very easy to use, is constructed well, and the interface with the computers is intuitive. You can literally pick it up and start using it without reading anything.
While it would be nice if it focused closer, had a mechanical zoom, and had a removable memory card, it is the absence of these features that keep it simple and affordable.

Comments about Flip Video MinoHD Video Camera (Silver, 1 Hour):
Quick and easy to use. I had bought a 2nd generation and then returned it for this model for the image stabilization feature which was a great upgrade. Low light performance still isn't great but good enough for what we use it for.

Very easy to use. Can put your time to uses and not worry about the technical "how to" issues.Better than expected video quality.Easy to try and make more of it than it can deliver. If you have a specific need for this type of item this one works very well.

Comments about Flip Video MinoHD Video Camera (Silver, 1 Hour):
Great camera for quick, close in video shorts. In other words, this is a great point and shoot HD camera for web delivered short videos where portability and ease of use outweigh the need for zooming or external microphones. In well-lit, quiet rooms you'll be surprised at the quality for video and audio. The image stabilization just eliminated the last reason for not having one of these in your must-have collection of video resources.
