If you're looking for an easy-to-use point and shoot camcorder that offers a few extras then the 2 hour, 8GB Flip Video UltraHD Video Camera is one to check out. The UltraHD features a super-slim design, image stabilization, and compatibility with 'Designed for Flip' products using the FlipPort. These new features of the 8GB UltraHD might surprise you - especially image stabilization - but there's something to be said for added stabilization, a slimmed down unit, and the ability to use the cam with compatible products, such as docking clock radios.

The UltraHD records up to 2 hours of 1280 x 720p HD video to its 8GB internal flash memory, and gives you a 2" LCD on which to record and review images, along with the pre-loaded FlipShare software. FlipShare software automatically starts up when you connect the UltraHD's flip-out USB arm to your PC or Mac. Once connected FlipShare helps you upload to social media sites, pull stills from video, edit, and perform many other tasks with your video. Additionally, if you feel like sharing what you've shot on the big screen, the HDMI Micro Type D connection helps you do just that.

Also, I like that it has a rechargeable battery but I can also use AA's in a pinch.

Same simple, easy user interface as the other Flip cameras- I can hand it over to anyone and ask them to shoot stuff for me

Comments about Flip Video UltraHD Video Camera (White, 2 Hours):

The size really contributes to shooting quick family moments on the fly. I think it's perfect for this type of use. If you're looking for more capabilities, like wider zoom range and manual controls, then this isn't the camera.

    We bought 7 and gave them to neophyte videographers to document an important event. These are so simple to use. There's virtually no training required to get beautiful HD video. We got great footage from many different points of view.

        This video camera is incredibly easy to use. I am electronically challenged, but I was able to start using the video camera immediately, without even reading the instructions. The charger is also easy to use. Unless you want to be in the picture, you don't even need the tripod--the image stabilization is very good.

        I like using this mini-video camcorder. While it has no zoom and you can't continue a video once you hit stop, it is easy to use and fun to play around with. It's so small it is easy to carry around.

        Comments about Flip Video UltraHD Video Camera (White, 2 Hours):

        I use this sucker mainly for fun, video tape the family, girlfriends and whatnot. I also use it to record live bands playing, in which it does a decent job.

        Pros: great price, handheld, easy to use and easy to upload videos. Software that comes with the camera is a nice bonus.
        Cons: battery gets eatten pretty fast, digital zoom makes for a crummy zoom, and not much of one.

        Overall id recomend this to anyone wanting an inexpensive jump into camcorders, I'm sure you'll love the flips ease of use.

        Comments about Flip Video UltraHD Video Camera (White, 2 Hours):

        Generally I liked the equipment although I knew that it is not for professional shooting. Its easy to take with you wherever you go. You can use at home, outside. The only thing is that you can't zoom in too much but its really comfortable to use, as you can immediately upload the video to you computer and post it to friends or immediately upload it to youtube. I like it!

        The only draw back is the small zoom capability.
