very easy to use, if you want a simple point and shoot video camera this is it.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
internal battery pack would not charge up, but it does record if I replaced with regular batteries. Problem is the camera is not recognized by the computer so any video can not be uploaded onto the computer. This is either an internal software problem or the camera has faulty hardware as I have used Flip videos for years; this is the first that the computer cannot recognize

Being a casual person who used to take pictures every now and then, I have found joy in the Flip camera. It does not have many features in the device itself, but it also doesn't need it. It can turn on, record, play back, remove unwanted videos, and zoom in and out. For someone who wants something simple and requires no knowledge on how to operate a video camera, look no further than the Flip. Having owned the previous original Flip, the biggest complaint I have is the lack of rechargeable batteries. The original Flip had a battery built in and could recharge over USB. The newer Flip HD operates on two AA batteries, and you better make sure to buy a 16 pack of them because you will go by them fast if you like to record long videos. While you are limited to recording only up to an hour total of videos before you need to dump them to a computer, you might as well be limited by the batteries themselves for an hour. The built in software makes backing up the videos very easy. It also has a built in video editor much like Windows Movie Maker, but I haven't messed with it (because I already like WMM and Adobe Premier). You can also upload to Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Ultimately, this is a very good digital camera for a normal home user, but the normal home user may want to invest in the rechargeable batteries that should have been included in the first place.Read full review
Bought this unit to made video of a Civil War Clothing Workshop. Despite low light, the U260W performed great. Was surprised that even the images taken in full zoom were acceptable. The dual microphones situated on the front worked well in a situation where a sound system was used. Made 24 separate segments: a full hour's worth of video in total. The two AA batteries were spent by the end, but I thought that was still good. Posted the video on line and it looks good! Ease of use is a big factor in buying this camcorder. This is my second Flip and am hoping this one works without the nagging problem of downloading new software because the old one would not revert to full length capacity even when all videos were deleted. So far, so good on this one, though. Cisco is no longer making these, so I've just ordered another one.Read full review
Bought my daughter one for christmas and she liked it so much, I decided to get one for myself. Lightweight, easy to use and carry and great HD video. 4GB gets you about an hour of HD quality video, great for on the go and vacations. For a few more bucks you can get the 8GB model which gives you 2 hours of video, but since I am not making a major motion picture the likes of Francis Ford Coppola, the 1 hour model gets the job done for me. Its great for those short "you-tube type" videos. Super easy to use and download to your laptop or pc, and with a HD (sold seperately) cable you can just watch the video on your HDTV if you wish. My personal advice: opt for the HD model for picture quality and shop around, with a little diligence you can find a new one for under $100.00!
