Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black) Review

I needed a small pocket size camcorder for our annual trip to the Dells. I did research online and at a few stores. I decided to buy the Flip Ultra HD after reading reviews. I needed this camcorder quickly and spotted it at a Walmart in my area. The price was $179.99, it came with a cloth case, carrying strap, and rechargeable batteries.
I charged it overnight in my laptop USB port and put it in my purse. We headed to breakfast before we hit the road to the Dells. I took a 3 minute video at the breakfast cafe, played it back on the 2" screen, the sound was good, but the video was quite grainy,
We got to the Dells and I took the camcorder to the outdoor waterparks. Very easy to hold and operate, but since it does not have an image stabilizer, you have to keep your handy as steady as possible. Took video the next day at the outdoor waterpark and in the hotel room that night. In all I took about 40 minutes of video. We got back home and I put the videos on my PC. The video taken indoors at the cafe, restaurant, and hotel rooms were horrible. The videos were very grainy, but the sound quality was good.
The video taken at the outdoor waterparks was excellent. The color, the definition, the sound was great.
The videos transfers very easy to any PC by plugging the camera's USB into the USB port. My 40 minutes of video took about one minute to transfer to my PC.
So, my overall conclusion is that this camera works great in the correct lighting. What slightly disappointed me was the grainy indoor video. My husband who is a technical guru says "What do you want for $185.00?
He swears the camera is not a "true" HD camccorder. It was very easy to use, fit into my pocket and purse, and the 2" screen is a blessing when recording and playing back the video. I like things that are easy and that don't require alot of technical ablility to operate. The Flip camcorder is fun and easy to use- and perfect for those spur of the moment events. Just turn it on and press record. Get more detail about Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black).
