The Flip UltraHD is very easy to use, their manual (such as it is) is not really necessary. It has excellent low-light capability and a reasonably wide angle lens. You don't want to pan/move the camera much when using as this will cause a somewhat fuzzy image. To use, just charge the battery on your pc usb jack for several hours, press the power switch on the side, and then press the red button.....your now making a video. Play back thru the HDMI output is excellent but you will need to buy a cable with a normal HDMI plug on one end and a mini-HDMI plug on the other. You could also use an adapter with a normal HDMI cable. Don't bother loading the FlipShare that comes within the camcorder as it is out of date, aren't they always. Go to their site, download the latest, and load that into your pc. The FlipShare program could use some improvements. The TV type DVD's I've made from the Flip using Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 play without any problems on the DVD player attached to my HD TV. The encode time using Premiere Elements is about 20 to 1, that is a 1 hour video took my pc 20 (twenty) hours to encode. My pc: Win-XP, Core2Duo6600 running at 3GHz, 2GB ram, large SATA hard drive.
It's a fun camcorder and easy enough for my 4 year old grandson to use.Get more detail about Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black).
