Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black) Review
The ultra HD is exactly what it is supposed to be: a hassle-free camcorder for when you don’t want to lug around a big one. You will notice right away that it doesn’t have image stabilization, so if you don’t know how to hold a camera steady, you may be in trouble. That said, the ease of use is wonderful. A child could operate this. Push the side button, and it’s on; push the red button and you’re recording. Clear, crisp video (2hrs worth) and the software loads on to your computer as soon as you plug it into the usb.
The software is as easy to use as the camera, and you can upload movies to the internet, make music videos, take stills from your video, and prep video for use with a third-party dvd creater. The only trouble I had with the software was when making a music video. Fortunately, the people at Flip were very helpful and sent me a patch for it. I was very satisfied.
Another thing I like is that it uses two AA batteries (6hrs of life) and comes with a battery pack (2hrs or so) that recharges when plugged into the computer. If you want to pay more, you can get the Flip mino hd, which is a little smaller and comes with a built-in lithium ion battery.
The only thing to think about when buying an HD is that it WILL NOT PLAY ON A STANDARD DEF TV directly from the camera, although you can still upload high def vids to the computer. No worries, though. Just make a dvd.
There is 00 HD and 0 HD; for 0, I think this is very good HD.
