Just received mine an hour ago. Have taken 7 videos, played back on computer and watched on TV. This is a fabulous product, one that makes it easy for ANYONE to take great videos Don't expect to have any problems. Pics are very sharp even on full screen. Can't think of a single complaint. You've got to try one of these. Almost forgot..this also makes a great voice recorder for taking notes.

After reading many reviews, we bought the Flip for our son for his 8th birthday. Within minutes of opening the box, he had the batteries in, the camera on, and was recording his sister dancing. He figured everything out on his own. We have a MAC and it's completely compatible with imovie/iphoto. According to my son, "It's really easy to use the camera and it plugs right into the computer. It's a great size and easy to hold. I love it!"

This camera is easy to operate even for an old guy. There are not a lot of buttons. That makes me happy. I use it with a Mac. It downloads easily. I am able to post videos on You Tube. I am able to email short videos. I haven't tried to edit anything, so I cannot comment on that. The video & sound quality is pretty darn good.

I've always been more of a "still photographer" and not a great one at that. Videos always sort of intimidated me.
Yet, when I was a kid, my dad used to tape record our family conversations during Christmas celebrations and those recordings became priceless. I figured that this was an easy way to replicate that plus have video.
The camera is smaller than my cell phone -- and frankly a lot easier to use than my cell phone. It is a piece of cake to set up and only took minutes from opening the box to trying it out. Nice touch including 2 duracell batteries rather than el-cheapo varieties or none at all.
It is a very minimalist camera so it is pretty easy to get going... push the up arrow to zoom in and the down arrow to zoom out. Easy to replay what you have just shot and delete what you don't like.
I had no problems getting the software to work on my XP system and viewing/transferring the videos to my computer.
My only complaint is that the sound, overall is a bit dim so part of what I wanted this camera for -- to capture spontaneous conversation -- is not optimal.
However, video quality is decent -- especially for what I am using it for. Not like I'm going to be filming hockey games any time soon. On my husbands' urging, I have ordered up the HD version which is just a bit more money and we'll see if that makes a difference -- I'll update this review accordingly.
So far, I'm happy with the camera. The camera is truly idiot proof -- I'm the idiot that has proven that! I only wish I had had something this simple and easy years ago when our boys were younger. Ah well, better late than never -- knowing my kids, they'll keep us supplied with endless material for years to come ;-)
