This cam is easy to use and cheap but there are too many other drawbacks. I have a Macbook Pro and the software runs extremely slow. The videos are a pain to edit and the picture and sound quality stinks. I can get way better results using the icam on my laptop. A lousy zoom and double A batteries round out the mess. Even the aluminum foil-like case on the camera is garbage. It was dented and scratched the first day it was used. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more money to get a standard digital camera with the option to take short video clips. Or better yet a digital camcorder so you can more easily edit, burn, and save high quality videos.

Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (White), Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (White), Can someone please enlighten me? I see 2 flip Video Camcorder 60 min. (White) posted here on Amazon, one for $119.99 holds 60 min. video on 1GB memory, model F160W. The other one is higher in price $ 149.54, it holds 60 min. of video also, but has 2 GB memory? It is called Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Min. (White), model F260W. Does anyone know what is the difference between these 2, other than the price and difference in GB memory, but both hold same amount of time video? Now I don’t know much about computers, tech or electronics, but doesn’t the memory determine how much does it hold? Why are these 2 different memory but hold same amount of video time? I would appreciate if I get an answer to this question since I would love to order this as soon as posible, but unsure which is best. Obviously would prefer to buy the cheaper one but is the other one better? I really don’t see extra features for the second one. Would any of these work the same on my Apple OS X without having to get extra cables or software?, I need something easy to save videos of my babies and send them to grandparents in Mexico. Thanks, any info would be GREATLY appreciated……

for the price its ok-

but no still photos, and the zoom is horrible- the usb gives a lot of weight to it when its plugged in. you get what you pay for.

We bought this for our teenage son for Xmas and it was busted by March, although it had not received unusual use. We wrote the company and got some help that was not helpful. It seems that it is too fragile for real use.

I ordered this product so I could take it on vacation with me. I paid for overnight shipping and it was supposed to arrive on the 8th of November. I left for vacation on the 11th of November. I never received this product.
