The good: Ultraslim yet functional design; easy to use; relatively high-quality sound and video for its class; one-touch video uploading to YouTube and AOL.
The bad: A bit expensive; no SD/MMC card expansion slot; rechargeable battery isn't removable or replaceable.
The bottom line: Despite some minor flaws, Pure Digital's Flip Video Mino is the best mini camcorder for straight-to-Web video currently available--but it also costs more, and it can't match the features of a video-savvy point-and-shoot camera.

It is easy to use, I snap still photos and burn dvd's.
by patgold on October 6, 2008
Pros: I figured out how to burn dvd's saving my videos to my mac & burning them on the dvd burner. I use the ilife '08. I can also snap still photos from the movie clips--which is great-so I now just carry my mino around and use it as my digital camera.
Cons: I tried to e-mail a 30min film to a friend and that file was too large--one can only compress and send small files on e-mail--but luckily I am able to burn my own dvd's--and mail those off to my friends.
Summary: I find this product very easy to use. It works on my Mac. It is easily rechargeable. It is small and does not intimidate folks being filmed. I can create ...

by lynrh on November 1, 2010
Pros: NOT WORTH ANY THING QUITS WORKING ABOUT A MONTH AFTER YOU GET IT
Cons: had it less than a year and it quit turning on and charging

Summary: Bought this item for my mother less that a year ago thought it was great functional camera untill one day i go to charge it and nothing happens. I ended up charging it over night and it still would not turn on. When I called the technical support it took two weeks of hearing their BS untill I got to send it back. I just now got my replacement and its doing the exact same thing. IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

The best in its class with excellent sound quality.
by samusgravity on September 13, 2008
Pros: Fast bootup (about 4-5 seconds), great video quality, excellent sound quality, touch interface was a pretty good idea. Software included is good.
Cons: I occasionally noticed that the touch buttons were a bit unresponsive (but it doesn't ruin the overall experience).
Summary: I just got this 2 days ago, and I am loving it! First off the Flip Mino is very sleek and is something that you would want to show off ...
Summary: I just got this 2 days ago, and I am loving it! First off the Flip Mino is very sleek and is something that you would want to show off to your friends! It boots up very quick and has great video quality. The touch interface was a great idea, but occasionally I noticed that it could be a bit unresponsive (this doesn't ruin the overall experience). The star of the show here is the sound quality. This little guy's microphone is great, and the tiny speakers produce great sound. All sounds come through clear.
If you are looking for a easy, excellent way to record videos, the Flip Mino is the way to go!1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Straight up convenience!
by jkpinpdx on June 21, 2008
Pros: Portability, size, quick to use, start up time, ease of use, sleek design, no video tape to pack around/buy, quality video and good mic/sound, rechargeable battery
Cons: Sometimes you hear the BEEP confirmations (when you hit the record button) in your video (however you can opt to turn OFF the beep confirmation sound ), no way for user to replace or buy spare battery
Summary: I find myself shooting more video, simply because of the convenience factor of this camera! Very small, easy to carry and shoots great video for its intended purposes. This is ...
Summary: I find myself shooting more video, simply because of the convenience factor of this camera! Very small, easy to carry and shoots great video for its intended purposes. This is not a video camera to make your next hollywood production on, but for quick fun family videos or the youtube crowd... its perfect.

Camera arrived and will not turn on or charge.
by schmittm1 on August 10, 2011
Pros: No Pros, camera does not work.
Cons: I bought this product hoping it would be a tiny HD video camera, but for the limited features it has to offer, it is actually quite large (about the size of a large cell phone) and feels quite cheaply made.
Summary:
I received my brand new Flip Mino yesterday, and it will not turn on or charge. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT IS A PIECE ...

Almost there
by mrteeney7 on December 28, 2010
Pros: It's a solidly designed product. Well priced. Like the quality though it can be beat. Has a new wide angle lens. Has casing for wet weather. It's small, very light, easy to take out anywhere. Mounts to a bike or a helmet if you want.
Cons: the camera weighs more than the support a usb arm can provide. It's a little SLOW TO BOOT UP - not exactly point and shoot - it still takes a few seconds. No flash. No external memory.
Summary: I do wish the quality were a bit better. It's great and all - I'm amazed by it - this tiem next year we'll all have some ...
Summary: I do wish the quality were a bit better. It's great and all - I'm amazed by it - this tiem next year we'll all have some new technology anyway - so it's great for right now - it's an impulsive product for impulsive people looking to entertain themselves and other, much like me, so go out and buy one. You'll be happy and then the world will have more great videos to laugh at.

Cheap price if you know where to look!
by ROvertonAvon on November 27, 2010
Pros: The Flip Mino is a nice size and has a cheap price if you look around.
Cons: Their customer service sucks but if you purchase it from Avon, they have a 100% satisfaction return policy on products.
Summary: I love this little camcorder but I wished I had waited to buy it until I started carrying it with Avon. It's only $89.00 right now with free ...
Summary: I love this little camcorder but I wished I had waited to buy it until I started carrying it with Avon. It's only $89.00 right now with free shipping and handling. www.youravon.com/roverton
I love being able to plug it into my computer and send videos to my family all over the country. I can also burn the movies of my son straight to disc and give them away for cheap gifts. It sure beats using my blackberry for short movies with much better graphics and longer recording times. -
Don't Buy!!! CAUTION

Summary: CAUTION-- if your thinking about buying this product-- STOP NOW!!!! I purchased the camera when it first came out (less then a year ago) and now it's dead. I called tech support and the only offer a 90 day warranty and that's it. There is no repair service or anything for the product. So you are stuck with a piece of junk plastic. If you don't want to have a headache, DON'T BUY!!!!!!!!!!
