User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Flip over Flip
Great little camcorder for the money. Very portable and easy to use make it a great shoot on the go recorder.

4 Stars Happy with this product!
Very happy with this product. Only downside the low light filming is a bit grainy but in daylight film quality is great. Even did some filming cruising fast on our boat and the quality came out better than expected!

5 Stars Perfect Gift for Tweens, Teens or the PC Savy user
This camera was an impulse purchase for me after viewing video review (#1) for it. I was looking for something I could carry in my purse to all the school functions; band concerts, etc…, and then quickly use to upload to Facebook the video. This item fits the bill perfectly!

I love these things about it:

+Great looking video, even though the resolution is only 640×480 at 30 frames per second. It’s done in H264 video and AAC stereo audio in MP4 file format with this camera. NOTE: This is NOT the HD camera. If you want HD, buy this one: Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (White).

+Audio is great too. Microphones picks up well and replay doesn’t sound distorted at all.

+Works with a MAC or PC!

+Takes AA batteries – easily picked up wherever you go.

+2 hours of recording time is ample for most of my needs.

+Software seems easy to use for uploading to websites, emailing and saving to files.

+Has a zoom feature!

+Lightweight and compact.

Things that could be better:

-USB connection option for desktops; not really supported as the connector flips out and there’s nothing to support the body of the camera. This problem can be fixed via a USB ‘A’ cord (not supplied but mentioned in the directions for use): USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A Male to Type A Female 6 ft, Black.

-Battery life. Might need to invest in rechargable batteries or the lithium battery pack: Flip Video Battery Pack for 2nd Generation Ultra & UltraHD.

-Plastic cover for batteries feels a bit flimsy and has small plastic tabs that allow it to lock into the body of the camera. I’ll have to be careful when changing batteries!

-Wish it came with a clamshell style hard case instead of a pouch to protect it. That would add to its bulk and weight though, and for some, be a negative.

Uses:

+Uploading video to websites.

+Emailing video.

+Making home movies to burn to DVD.

+Archiving family gatherings to digital video.

This highly portable video camera is a great find. While part of me wishes I’d spent the extra cash on the HD model, right now I am pleased with the price I paid, the features of the camera and the ease of set-up and use.

I highly recommend the Flip Ultra 2nd generation to anyone who is PC savy and likes to upload video. Kids ages 9 to 49 will love it!

**Check out the photos of the Flip I uploaded to Amazon, and the notes on each.

5 Stars Flip Ultra
I am a 73 year old man and love to use modern day stuff,but most of the electronics have way too many features I do not use,The Flip camcorder is not like that. Flip is very easy to use and a handy camera to take with,where ever I go.Videos are Easy to upload to my grandkids,no fuss,no muss,all business and no gimmicks

1 Star 2 Flips died on me!
I had three Flip Ultras (120 2nd gen) and they all stopped working within 6 months to a little over one year of usage. One was still under warranty and got replaced. But warranties had run out on the other two and Flip company totally unhelpful and provided NOTHING. Bad product and the worst customer service I have ever received. I would never ever purchase another Flip. They may be easy to use and cute, but they die early and you will get no help. So, why waste your money?

5 Stars Flip Ultra HD – Awesome Product
I have been wanting one of these for a while. Just couldn’t seem to remember my video camera when I needed it most. I keep this Flip in my purse now and have it whenever I need it. The quality of video is fantastic and I can have my kids ballgames on You Tube for their grandparents to see within minutes. So worth the investment….

5 Stars Worth it
It was totally worth it to get this product. It is very practiacal and saves money on atteries since it’s rechargabel.

4 Stars Great for an inexpensive V Camera
I like the little camera. Once I got it all figured out! Easy to have with you because it is so small. It takes great video.

5 Stars Flip Camera
Great little camera. My daughter loved it so much after borrowing it for a vacation, that she also bought one.

1 Star The battery quits on you just at the wrong time
I’m a HUGE Flip video fan. I have one and use it all the time and recommend it to everyone. I have 2 but my favorite is the Flip Ultra HD. However, I’ve given up on the Flip rechargeable battery option — have had two and both are unreliable. As much as I hate to use non-rechargeable batteries, I find that unless I do, my Flip will quit on me just at the worst possible times. I carry it to capture fun moments with family and friends, and you can’t do that with a dead Flip.

5 Stars cool pix
I bought this camera for my wife, who is a point & shoot type. Works great! She can carry it in her purse easily, and she loves not looking through a tiny viewfinder to see the subject. The nice LCD screen is great to compose your shot. Yet, if you read the manual, and use the menus, you can also use different settings for your shots, like action, macro, portrait, etc. The only ( not so ) bad thing is the USB connection to the computer is NOT a standard USB connection, like the one for my bluetooth headset & my other cameras, so again, you need a separate cable. Don’t forget you need to buy an SD card for it, the internal memory is soooo tiny. I got an 8GB card for it that works great.

1 Star Do not buy!
I ordered this item and quickly found out that it produces extremely fuzzy pictures. At first I thought my hand just wasn’t steady but every picture I took with it produced the same product. I sent this item back and would not recommend this item to anyone. This camera is cheap because it is cheaply made.

4 Stars Good camera for a bad photographer
The Coolpix L20 is a fine camera for a guy like me who’s a casual photographer. I get better pictures out of it than I ever did with other cameras because of the automatic features. Couple that with the fact that I can take loads of pictures and erase the bad ones, I usually end up with some good shots. That’s what I wanted and that’s what I got for a very reasonable price.

1 Star Want to Return this Nikon Camera, Please Advise…
This camera does not stay charged, constantly error message: Batteries Exhuasted! I want to return this camera, Please advise.

2 Stars We tried this out in the store and it seemed great!
We had decided to buy a new camera as our Christmas gift to each other this year. When we were looking we tried out all of the cameras in our price range. Cameras get updated so quickly, that we tend to get a new one every 2 or 3 years, so don’t like to spend a lot. We were looking for a few qualities, mainly at least 10 megapixel,large LCD screen and at least a 3X optical zoom. This camera met all of the qualification. We were upgrading from a 5 megapixel with poor zoom because when cropping, many pictures were very grainy. Our sons wedding was coming up and we knew we would be taking some pictures from a distance and would like to have a better camera. I practiced taking some pictures before the wedding and could not get one picture that was not blurry! I was only taking pictures of things around the house, so there was no movement. I had my husband take some also and he had the same problem. Also I tried every scene on the camera and the colors were not good at all. We still took the camera to the wedding, but ended up using the camera on our phone. Those pictures were much clearer. Needless to say, this camera will be going back today.
