I used the Flip UltrHD Camcorder first to film events at my niece's 2nd Bday party. I loved the ability to take short clips with just the push of a button. Later, after having installed the software on my PC, I was able to view the clips, delete the ones I didn't want, and turn all the small clips into one movie. Very easy to use, so would not hesitate to recommend it for non-technical friends and relatives.
The beauty of the Flip might also be a limitation for some...there are not many settings to choose from. But for web, family clips, documentation, just about everything, the current settings seem to work fine.
The installation software resides on the Flip, and I've been able to download it so far on 3 different computers. So, anywhere I visit without my laptop, I can install the software on someone else's computer and download the videos and start viewing, editing, emailing, and uploading them. Because there is the option to keep videos on the camera even after downloading to a computer, I would do this and so have all the videos with me still on the flip after I returned home.
You will (for convenience) want to have a USB-extension cable. Othewise, depending on the design of the computer's USB port, you will be holding the flip in place with you hand for long periods of time (when making a movie, this could take several minutes).
