5 Stars Awesome…

This is awesome… this fits the ultra HD like a glove. We did not have one issue with it during our 7 day family cruise. It was in the pool, the hot tub, going down the water slide, the ocean, and at the turtle farm. It does make the microphone sound a little echoey, but it is in the plastic bubble. This stood up to my daughters bouncing it around on her write and banging into the side of the pool or whatever and did not have a problem at all. You can’t even see any scratches on it. I wish I could find something this affordable for my camera. This is great even just as protection for your camera. It a little bulky, but I actually like that, it makes it much easier to hold the Ultra HD in your hand if you have big hands.

Worth the money for sure if you have kids that want to use your camera. Or need some water protection for whatever you want to do or wherever you want to use it.

5 Stars great, versitle case
I bought this case for our Flip before my boyfriend and I went to Panama for vacation. I love it!!! We are very active people and did a lot of hiking and snorkeling. Although the case is advertised as an underwater case, it is very durable and we ended up keeping our Flip in the case when we were doing active, dry land things. It proved to be a great idea to keep the Flip in the case because my boyfriend tripped and fell while filming me zip-lining. The case took a good hit and was only slightly scratched. I loved using it underwater. The video quality was the same underwater as it was when we used it on land. The case fits very tightly and securely around the Flip keeping it from rattling around, having some sort of distortion of the picture or leaking. My boyfriend had bought an underwater case for his camera, but those pictures did not compare to the stills and videos we got from the Flip. With that camera case, the pictures were hazy, the waterproof lens cover did not fit properly and it also leaked just a bit. The Flip case never let in any water, was very durable and we were thrilled with its versatility. I highly recommend getting this accessory for your Flip!!!

5 Stars Great addition to the Flip
This little case is a great addition to the Flip video camera. It’s easy to use, dependable and fun. I bought it for videoing my 1 year old’s swim lessons but have enjoyed using it anywhere I’m nervous about my Flip getting damaged – boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, playing in the sprinklers.

The only downside is that you have to remove the wrist cord on the flip before it fits in the case. Minor but inconvenient.

4 Stars Works Well in the Ocean
Used this product in the Atlantic Ocean (at the beach, not diving) and it worked well with no leaks occuring. The only downside is that recording sound is diminished by the case. You can still hear some sounds, but not nearly as well.

3 Stars It works relatively well, but I’ve got my reservations
For the price, you can’t really beat this. It’s got decent construction, and works relatively well in shallow water.

My only reservations were that that when I’d put it under water, I’d see air bubbles coming from the case. Now when I see air escaping, I tend to imagine water entering. Whenever I removed the camera from the case, I never actually saw any leaks or any water on the unit, but it just makes me question the long term viability of such a case, which is why I returned the unit.

Also, this is something that probably can’t be helped, but I wish that the mic would work better above surface. Obviously that’s probably not possible due to the fact you have to keep everything out, including sound, so I didn’t dock stars for that, but I wish you could record audio better.

Bottom line: for the price it works pretty well, I’m just concerned about the long term viability of such a case, and there’s a pretty high price to pay if there are such doubts.

5 Stars Amazing power in a compact camera!
Unbelievable camera!Shot HD video of my brother’ graduation and I was sitting across the arena! 10x optical zoom plus a 14.2 megapixel camera in a SLEEK design…

WOW!!

Buy it!

1 Star maybe i got a lemon
I am a pro photographer and I bought this as a present for my wife . I usually shoot with nikon dslr’s and the result is great. I bought this and returned it after 1 day. I don’t think that it’s a bad camera inherently. I can only assume that the one i got from amazon was refurbished or something because no matter what I did the picture just wasn’t clear and at 14 megapixels it should be great. I won’t buy cameras from amazon again. I even tested this camera in a few diff stores and the result seemed ok. that’s the problem with buying cameras online and not from a pro camera house. sorry amazon. not cool.

3 Stars Hard to hold
I just watched Nikon’s video on the S8000 and they show the model holding the camera with both index fingers on the top of the camera. Nice … but there is a pop-up flash on the left top, which would prevent this in any low light situation. It is not very user friendly … you have to stop and move your index finger and then pull the flash up manually after it hits your finger and fails to open fully. When your through shooting you have to manually close the flash.

There is no indicator to tell you how much charge is left in the battery.

The sound when watching videos on the camera is barely audible even with volume control attached to zoom. When you connect the camera to your computer the sound is normal … no problem.

The S8000 has a very fast start-up and the zoom is excellent. The colors are beautiful and accurate. Fast and accurate focusing means I get what I shoot but the flash pop-up can slow you down. I don’t think I can live with the flash pop-up. I don’t buy a new camera, that often.

2 Stars Terrible picture quality
I bought the Nikon S8000 thinking that Nikon always delivers good picture quality. I am an avid amateur photographer, and own several Nikon DSLRs which I think are outstanding. Unfortunately, with the S8000 my trust was misplaced. While the camera is sleek with excellent shooting performance, the quality of the images was simply terrible. Even in good outdoor lighting at ISO 100 there is smudging and loss of detail when zooming in to 100%. All the pictures look as if they’re slightly out of focus, and this did not change despite adjusting autofocus settings, anti-vibration settings ets. The quality of indoor shots was even worse. I used this camera for 2 months, and tried every possible setting to fix the image quality. Video quality is excellent, but there is a nagging high pitch sound in all of the footage. If you care about image quality do not buy this camera. I’m selling mine at a loss.

5 Stars Quality point-and-shoot camera
I purchased this camera just prior to a business/sightseeing trip, and am extremely pleased.

10x optical zoom on a camera in this price range is excellent, and the zoom performs quite well. The picture quality is very good on the highest-quality setting (14MP+, which Nikon denotes as “print quality”) – the images produced at this setting are around 6MB apiece.

The camera has a special flash mode for nighttime pictures and it does make a huge difference. Pictures taken at night or in a dark location using this mode are much less washed-out and grainy than I am used to. Also included are the fairly standard steadiness correction and red-eye reduction.

All in all I am impressed with the camera, especially given the price. It is fairly easy to learn to use, especially if you are like me and only want a point and shoot camera, but does have many options to tweak if you wish.

The only downside is that the buttons to switch between modes (picture, video, display) aren’t always immediately responsive, and since you enter and exit video mode with a button on the back of the camera the last second of video is shaky unless you have a very steady hand.

5 Stars Panasonic GH1 For Video
I’m using this card in the Panasonic GH1 for HD video and it works great. No problems so far, and a great buy.

5 Stars Fantastic Card for a Great Price
I recently decided to dip my feet into digital photography, after scoring an awesome deal on a Nikon D40 kit. I needed a decently sized SD card, and after shopping around local big box retailers and on the web I settled on this one. The transfer speeds are quick, both while taking pictures and when in use with my camcorder. And the price is pretty awesome, by far the least expensive 16gb card I’ve found. But don’t be fooled by the price, its on par with other SD card from different manufacturers.

1 Star Great SDHC Card!! Until it dies.
I’m an amateur photographer and I’ve recently started to get into cinematography and photography on my T2i. I bought this card as a secondary card to my 8gb class 10 SanDisk card. I read reviews and recommendations that said this 16gb Transcend card was a great deal for price and bought it about a month ago. It worked great and I used it on numerous photo-shoots and long periods of shooting video. While on a paid photo and video shoot my camera stopped shooting in the middle of an interview and the card became unreadable. The card died on me and I lost all of the data on it. It seems that this card is not up to the standards that I would get with a more expensive card from SanDisk. I am now going to put the money into better performing cards rather than the cheap and easy ones after what happened.

3 Stars not bad, works pretty good
I bought this card that we would have more capacity for taking digital pictures while on vacation. You get virtually the full amoung as available storage; as hoped. The upload and download speeds are okay but the the fastest that I have seen. I dont know it it is a hardware or software issue that keeps it from going faster but still an okay card for the money.

1 Star Went bad after 1 year
Had this card for about a year, and it worked well until 2 days ago. I had it in my Nikon D5000 and got the error, “Unable to Format Card. Card May Be Defective.” Luckily I found a utility online to recover the pictures I had and I was able to re-format the card. It worked for another day and now I’m getting the error again.

I tried cleaning the contacts w/ a cotton swab, and even tried inserting the card while locked & unlocked – didn’t make a difference. Hopefully, the SanDisk 16GB Extreme – SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) – NEW 30MB/s version I just bought will last longer.

4 Stars Nice alternative to traditional camcorder
My wife and I are having a child, so we decided to get a camcorder. In looking at all of the available options out there, we started to look into the Flip style pocket cams vs. the traditional camcorder route. We knew we wanted HD, but I didn’t want to spend $400 and up for a traditional style camcorder. When we started thinking about all the ways we would use it (clips of the baby for emailing to the grandparents, etc) the Flip style video recorders started to really shine. Add in the Flipshare software, and this thing is just about perfect for our needs. The camera itself is tiny, like fit in your pocket tiny, so I am apt to take it more places without fear of destroying it (the beach, etc). The HD video is superb so long as you have good light and are not panning quickly. I do not think it is as good as some of the higher price point camcorders out there, but we are talking about 1/4 the price here, for what I think are very acceptable levels of performance. The Flipshare software is pretty intuitive, you set up emails that can join your “channel” and when you plug your camera in via the convenient USB port to upload video, they are alerted to a new video for them to watch. Really makes it easy to share via the web. You can also burn to DVD. Overall, I am impressed. I would like to see newer models include such features as image stabilization, and perhaps better zoom (almost non-existent, and since it’s digitial, probably wouldn’t recommend using it anyways).

4 Stars Portability Fun!
I’d have to say the same things about the Flip UltraHD that’s been said hundreds of times! I would defintely but the UltraHD rather than the Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (White)

Two problems however. One is the zooming, it only zooms 2x. I’d like for it to zoom at least 4x and I wouldn’t care if the lens had to come out very far from the camcorder!

And, of course, my biggest concern. No, not the audio quality! No, not even the fact that this camcorder has no image stabilizer. But the fact that this camcorder has no MACRO!!! This basically means whenever you close-in on an object (e.g. a cell phone screen), the image BLURRRRRRRRRS out!

In the end, I say this is a good “starter” camcorder. What are you waiting for, buy it!

5 Stars Love it!
I bought this as I’m getting ready to build a new house and wanted to have a video record of the build process. Last time I just took pictures, and thought it would be cool to have videos this time. I want to be able to easily upload to a house blog that I’m creating so friends and relatives can follow the process. The week after I got it I attended my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary and took the Flip along with me. I took about 18 different clips and then easily made them into a movie with the Flip software. The FlipShare software allows you to share by email or uploading to a Flip channel. Needless to say, they were thrilled with the end result when I sent them a copy. I only wish I owned this when my parents had their 50th anniversary! The HD video is very clear even when enlarged to full screen. It comes partially charged so I was video taping 5 minutes after I opened it up. It’s very user friendly and fun to use.

5 Stars Works Great Videoing Moving Horses
I bought this Flip UltraHD even though I already had an older flip camcorder, still working by the way, they both work the same except this new on has more sensitive controls, another words the buttons work better. I do a lot of horse videos so the wider screen format makes it so much easier to follow the horses as they speed by. I had a very expensive HD camcorder already but the flip is so handy I carry it around in my shirt pocket and get more videos that way. I don’t miss having to hook up the two cables and figure out what program to use to take video off the old expensive camcorder with a weird .MOD format that does not work with most of my software, I had to covert videos with yet more software. With the flip I just plug it in to the usb port, the flip software starts automatically and then I can choose what videos I want to keep. This is a real no brainer other than you may like the mino flipHD it is smaller, but I have big hands so I chose this one. The video color and brightness is very good.

4 Stars Good Beginners HD Camcorder
I was very excited to receive my Flip Ultra HD camcorder to begin filming everything and anything. It is so portable you can really take it anywhere and after seeing the quality of the camera on youtube I was very impressed I had to purchase it. When I got the device I instantly filmed a few test videos to see the quality, and it wasn’t that impressed. The best quality you can get from what I have found is outside. The visuals look great and the colors stand out. I guess I might be used to HD images but the quality looked 480p/540p. It could just be my device but indoor shots with decent lighting were just average, I really didn’t get that wow effect compared to the videos I saw on youtube.

Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with the portability of the camera. It is so small and fits in your pocket so you can really take it anywhere. I plan on filming a lot with this device and the flipshare software was very easy to use. I am a beginner to video editing and using iMovie HD has been semi difficult but I am figuring it out. Once I used the included Flipshare software, I was able to make a great movie in seconds! Very easy to use which is what I liked. I recommend this camcorder for anyone looking for simple point and shoot video. The HD is an added bonus although my device doesn’t really look HD but again it could just be a lemon. Buy this camera you will have a blast using it!
