Two down in a year
Bought this product for my wife as a birthday present. It died within three and half months. Sent it back to the company for a replacement - that went without a hitch. However...it has now died again - 12 months later. It won't turn on . I have tried resetting it per customer service - to no avail... Time to try a different company.
Broken after a year
It wasn't all that great to begin with but now it doesn't even work properly. It records horizontal bars over the picture. In short, it's useless.
While it worked, it wasn't all that great. Picture quality was so-so. I find other products just as easy to use. I'd recommend a Sony cybershot with camera and video and a much larger view screen (Mino screen is tiny). For that matter, all you have to do with most cameras is put the storage card in a memory reader ( e.g., SanDisk ImageMate All-in-1 Flash Memory Card Reader) and connect it to your computer and it will read the pictures.
In short, Mino has a terrible view finder and mediocre picture. To add insult to injury, it does not last long.
Nice little camcorder
I got the chrome model and that was a big mistake.. fingerprints, fingerprints, fingerprints! Like the way it worked, but not sturdy enough for my taste and no underwater capability unless you buy the special case. The "flip" usb is great for not having to worry about a cable to upload. I did return mine and got the Kodak Playsport for the durability and underwater feature and it's great.
a small high def piece of heaven
This thing is so amazing! I was really overwhelmed by the small size and the very light weight of the camera - so much so that I was a little skeptical about the quality I would get from such a light - almost plasticky, toy-like weight of the product. I knew that the quality would be pretty good cause I have 2 colleagues who use them for work and another friend who uses them to film their kid and have seen the quality. Seeing is believing! Features are few, but that makes it extremely easy to use. I down graded the features because I wished the zoom function could be better. Also image quality downgraded because I think the actual video that is recorded cuts the bottom of the image by just a sliver when compared to the image seen on the camera during recording. Overall a great buy! I will be using it record video for teaching some how-to classes as well as for research.
Nice camera while it works... dreadful customer service
Nice little HD camcorder while it works...
Flip customer service is just dreadful. I bought this via an amazon.com deal of the day as a family gift before the holidays. Therefore some time elapsed before the gift was given on Xmas and then more time elapsed before we used it.
We found that the camera is very handy in that is fits in your pocket and the video quality is good. However it is quite awkward to plug the camera directly into and out of the USB connector of a PC and the USB connector is quite fragile and easily broken. A USB extension cord is a must. Apparently Flip does offer a repair program - at a HEFTY fee - but there is a long, tedious process required to use it. We've been going back/forth with them for MONTHS and now have a price and an RMA number but are still waiting for shipping instructions.
