When I downloaded my video's and messed around with the software I found the snapshot feature and decided to try it out. I'm not an avid video taker which is why I bought this little guy. It actually makes me want to take video of things just to do it. I used the camera when my 3 year old nephew came to visit and trying to get a good still shot of him was like trying to pull out my own tooth so I spent the majority of the time video-ing his fun loving, energetic, never sit still self as we ran around the city seeing all the sights. The pictures print with a great quality. It is super easy to use.
I printed them through [.]. Now that I have it I have to say I LOVE IT. Some of the pictures I pulled from the video are pricelss and the kind that with a still shot camera you get maybe 1 in a 1,000,000. Fits in your pocket or purse. My absolutely FAVORITE feature though.in the software you can take a video frame by frame and save each (if you really want) as a picture, and it prints as a good picture. (cuz computer quality and paper quality sometimes differ) and was even more pleased.
Overall for the price, convenience, and size this is hands down a must have.
CAUTION-- if your thinking about buying this product-- STOP NOW. There is no repair service or anything for the product. 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. So you are stuck with a piece of junk plastic. If you don't want to have a headache, DON'T BUY.
So I don't know what I'll do with videos I take next year. I bought a Flip Mino thinking that this was the ideal size camcorder for my purposes, to record my grandchildren as they grow up. I found that this is a very hard thing to do. I think Flip is stopping this service in March. Maybe if you are a computer geek you can solve this problem. The only way I found to do this is to upload the video clips to Flip for a charge of about $20.
It takes fine video clips, but then what do you do with them if you want to keep them. To look at the video clips that I took, I wanted to put them onto a DVD that I could play in my DVD player, rather than my computer, which will be upgraded or otherwise changed every couple of years. I would NOT recommend the Flip Mino because of this difficulty. I am willing to pay this. But with my old camcorder I could make permanent copies myself, which was MUCH more convenient. Search me.
But I think a product should have a wider range than this for its customers.
The memory card is built in. I purchased Flip Mino in May, 2009. Easy to use and carry. I know I am out of warranty time.I'll wait and see what they'd say about it. In less a year, $160 is down the drain. Until yesterday, I could only make two minutes of video.
They normally come back to me in 3 or 5 days, with no helpful garbage.My record time is down to 1:37 minute. It's a wonderful product. There is no way for me to configure it.Update:I have tried for weeks to contact Flip's support. Other memories are gone. I am trying to get hold of the customer support. I tried many times the best actual record time is 4 minutes.
I hope some one can come up with a solution to my problem.Thanks,
