Outstanding little product and value...
I have to say that I was highly skeptical, but at that price - it had to be worth a shot. Fixed focus, minimal zoom, no image stabilizer - how useful could this really be.

I got the UltraHD mostly because of the ability to use AA batteries (over the MinoHD) - because, while recharging isn't always easy or timely, AA batteries you can normally find even in the middle of the bush - LOL.

After a good hour of indoor and outdoor shooting, this device has won me over. For some reason, the lack of stabilization, while not leaving you with broadcast quality, doesn't cause the problems that I thought it would and the depth of field is outstanding for everything except <2ft.>

Amazing HD videos in your pocket! Video editing and sharing is also a snap...
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RCZSGRNYQ38TY The Flip UltraHD Camcorder is the perfect supplement to larger consumer camcorders. It's a point-and-shoot camcorder. I carry mine in my pocket and am finding opportunities to spontaneously capture fun moments, like the one in my video here in this review (I was walking my dog at the time).

The only reason that it can't serve as my primary camcorder is that the zoom is extremely limited as you'll see in the video. And footage can get wobbly as there is no auto stabilization (you'll notice that, too, in this video).

This camcorder is designed for upfront and personal footage: parties, family gatherings, etc. I use mine to shoot video interviews for my blog, for example.

The quality of the videos is impressive: true HD! PC users will especially appreciate the intuitive and rather elegant "FlipShare" video editing software. I have a PC and a MacBook Pro. I prefer the FlipShare editor vs. Apple's iMovie because it's a lot easier to use.

Editing your video clips is a snap with FlipShare: there is no learning curve. You can then save your videos/movies onto your computer or share them with friends and family -- or the world via FlipShare "icons" that give you the following sharing options:

* E-mail
* "Greeting cards" (cute e-mail themes like Christmas cards or post cards)
* Upload them to myspace, YouTube or other similar sites
* Burn them to DVDs
* You can also capture high-resolution "snapshots" or photos from videos with one click of the "Snapshot" icon.

To create a move, click the "flip" button on the side of the camera to extend the USB arm and plug it into your computer. Then open the FlipShare software and select the clips you want to include. Next click the "Movie" icon. That begins an easy, self-guiding process to:

1) Add an opening title and closing credits (you don't have to, but it's an option. You can even add a cute "Recorded by Flip Video" animation at the very end, which I opted to do in my video here).

2) You can leave the default sound, or you can add music from the included library of seven songs (or upload a song (mp3 format) from your computer. You can then opt to play the music as soft (or loud) background music and still hear conversations, etc; or you can play only the music, removing the default audio altogether.

3) Name your movie -- then click "Create Movie" and the software does its magic. Done! It's that simple.

I love this little camcorder and recommend it. Two thumbs up!
