This is a really great camera. I bought it for my granddaughter who is 9 and she loves it. After just a short going over of the instructions she was filming everything. I do recommend getting the extra memory card though because the memory in the camera is short
for the price, an awesome little camera!August 29, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought one of these Flix cameras used from Amazon to take with me on a trip. I intentionally went for something inexpensive, as I can be a bit hard on my electronics, and didn't want to worry if the camera was dropped or broken. I was a bit apprehensive about my purchase as some reviewers were disappointed, or had poor customer service interactions with Digital Blue. when the camera arrived, I was astonished at how small it was. it is about the size of a pack of cigarettes [sorry, didn't have another size analog.] I figured 'well, this little bitty thing can't be very good.' to my delight, the video and audio quality ARE very good! granted, the last video camera I used was a Hi8 camera back in art college, and had no experience with digital video cameras. believe me, it was a pleasant surprise at how well this tiny thing worked. this camera captures images with good detail and bright crisp colors. the sound is decent, too. I called Digital Blue as I own an iMac and the enclosed software wouldn't work on a Mac; the fellow who helped me was EXTREMELY kind and patient and helped me use the camera with my Mac. I can import the video into iMovie with no problem. make sure to purchase an additional memory card with your camera; I did, and now have one hour's recording time. no, the zoom isn't great; it pixilates the zoomed in object. but I carry this camera in my car in case I need it for emergencies, or just to shoot things I come across. the camera's small size makes it easy to fit into any purse or even a pocket. I recommend this camera highly. I bought mine for about 40.00, and it has served me well- and yes, I did drop it. it still works just fine! if I have any questions at all, Digital Blue answers them fully and are generous with their time. give this little camera a try, especially if you are on a budget, but still want to shoot video. it does not work well in very low light conditions, but will shoot indoors with adequate ambient room light. it records distant vistas just fine, too. AND it takes very decent still photos! I used it to record a raccoon family eating peaches that fell from my tree at night, using a flashlight. the video came out a little grainy, but it recorded the lighted objects adequately, making for a fun little 'memory' video. all in all, again, a great little purchase. I HIGHLY recommend this product.
A good value.January 18, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
We bought this for our 8yr old son who loves making his own movies. He enjoys it and it's made well. The only things we'd like to see changed for future versions of this is a volume control (it's pretty loud when they're reviewing a movie they took) and an easy on/off switch. Aside from that we're quite happy with the purchase! Oh,buy some rechargable batteries for this since it eats up regular ones farily quick if your little one is a budding film maker!
Not worth the money!January 9, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
We bought this for our son and it stopped working after just one week, and Digiblue has terrible customer service! After waiting on hold for over an hour I was told that it was basically not their problem. Overall, I would say a terrible product with terrible customer service.

My son loves his Disney Flix Video! We find it very creative and it helps him use his imagination while he captures certain moments. The special effects available from the software are lots of fun.
