Flip video M31120B

I used four of these cameras for a media class I taught this year and they were excellent for student use. The Flip picked up audio well and had a great picture and zoom.

After almost a year of use, all four cameras stopped powering on unless plugged into a computer. You could romance a little power out of the camera by plugging it in, turning it on, ejecting it from the computer, then putting in the batteries. This...

Small size fits easily into a shirt pocket. Decent video for what I use it for. Adequate memory to store what I need before clips need to be offloaded. USB connection is convenient, but you can't let the camera just hang from it as the weight of the...

Had to send my first one back as the rechargeable battery pack would not take a charge. It got very hot. The replacement they sent back to me did the same thing, so I elected to throw the battery pack in the trash and use alkaline batteries. They still...

Simple, one button record, nothing fancy. Even if you grabbed the device right out of the box without touching anything, you would be able to record instantly -- it's too simple. It even acts like a USB mass storage drive, so even very obscure...

Most systems that can't push at least 3GHz can't view the video smoothly, or even at all. If you're only looking to view the video on your computer, rather than on a disc or something to that extent -- you would need a video converter to view videos...

Excellent 720p picture, good color reproduction, works well in a variety of lighting including low light environments, 60fps. Sound quality is also very good. Amazing stabilization as well. Uses a standard video format

No expandable storage, mono sound. Lack of 1080p however 720p at 60fps is extremely smooth (no blur)

none compared to the zi8

-Fixed memory (not expandable) -No external mic input -No Macro mode -No 1080p

It is a very nice camcorder. Very easy to use, 720p.

No removable storage, limited to 2 hours with 8GB of internal memory. Not true HD when a zi8 is true HD for about $110. Not very configurable. Only 2x Digital Zoom! Pathetic! It's only software and they could easily increase this. Not good in low light...

The device is easy to use ... nothing couple be easier. The quality is acceptable but as you can imagine there are limitations. The USB connection is attractive from a function stand point, but see below.

There was a "bad batch" of these devices manufactured and sold to a major "warehouse" club which is where I purchased mine. Even though the manufacturer knew of the defects and could trace their locations via serial numbers, they were not pulled. The...

Good picture quality, and you don't need to install the software that's included to transfer the videos. Windows sees it as an external storage drive.

Small, lightweight. Fast video, HD. Love the usb access, and easy functions.
