Totally Amazing…watch my video !!, 20 Nov 2010
This review is from: Flip Ultra HD 3rd Generation 120 minutes recording, 8GB Memory & Image Stabilisation – Black (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What’s this?)
Customer Video Review Length:: 0:46 Mins
I made this video after 20 minutes of taking the FLIP from the postman’s hand. I made a couple of 20 second clips sitting at my desk and I was so impressed I decided to see if it would handle a ‘real’ test. I attached it to a Gorilla grip tripod and attached that to the passenger seat of my car and went for a drive. Took me 10 minutes to edit as 1min of video is around about 100Mb of data and that’s all Amazon will allow you to upload. Personally I think this little camcorder is brilliant. It doesn’t get much better than this. Watch the wing mirror on the car and the background. The field depth is really good. Also listen to the microphone pick up. I’m driving a Diesel and although the film is fairly short and the vibration in the car is high the quality is still great. Next test has got to be putting it into a splash proof case and taking it down a water slide. This will be terrific fun and an amazing Christmas Present.

YOU REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE – YES YOU DO!!, 21 Nov 2010
This review is from: Flip Ultra HD 3rd Generation 120 minutes recording, 8GB Memory & Image Stabilisation – Black (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What’s this?)
Never one personally for the latest in ‘gadgets'; I thought I’d give this a try anyway, since it was offered via the ‘Amazon Vine Programme’ for ‘Review’.
I have to say; the most off-putting thing about products like this, is probably the most boring part which is reading pages and pages of Instructions and Operating Manuals – and most of which are so poorly put together, they’re often difficult to understand… However; not only were the Instructions for this fabulous little Video Camera minimal; you really didn’t need them at all – it was just so easy to use!
As someone has already stated in their Review; within literally minutes of opening the box, you are operating this marvellous little thing and making your own mini movies! Never having owned any sort of gadget or Camera like this before, (not even a Camera Phone) I was quite astonished at the simple operation, but more importantly; the amazing results! Both picture and sound quality is superb, and the playback screen is actually big enough for you to watch and enjoy, and not some tiny little pathetic thing which is often the case with this type of thing.
This comes complete with a powerful little rechargeable battery, (only takes 4 hours to charge) soft pouch for storing and a carrying strap. It’s extremely good quality all round, and having just looked at the price – dirt cheap too!! It’s absolutely fool-proof; a child or elderly person could operate this. A good and crystal clear screen for those with not such good eyesight – it’s simply flawless! You can save and store your movies on your PC using a nifty little built-in USB connection plug, and even play them back on your HD TV!
Very difficult to think of anything more to say about this Item, other than – go on – treat yourself for Christmas – you’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic Mini Video!, 14 Nov 2010
I bought this Flip Ultra HD 3rd Generation after reading reviews in the gadget magazines. It is so easy to use! In just one day I have been to an exhibition, filmed some of the attractions and made a short video using the supplied software. I’ve also uploaded it to You Tube and emailed the video to some friends.
This is very highly recommended, light and easy to carry, fits in a trouser pocket, very easy to use, upload video to a computer, edit and send short movies to friends with.
Picture quality is incredible!

Product Description
Compact Digital Camera FS11 – 28mm Wide-angle 5x Optical Zoom LUMIX DC Lens and iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode with Advanced Scene DetectionIn iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, 4 detection functions work automatically and simultaneously to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time. The iA Mode includes MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) to detect hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control to detect subject movement, Face Detection AF/AE to detect faces in the frame and Intelligent Scene Selector to detect scene conditions. Sunset Mode has been added to the Intelligent Scene Selector. The DMC-FS11 features a 28mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-140mm). The 28mm wide-angle lens lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The 5x optical zoom lens captures beautiful shots of people or landscapes with 14.1-megapixel resolution. The Extra Optical Zoom function uses the center part of the CCD to extend this 5x zoom ratio to powerful 10.5x zoom at a resolution of 3-megapixel or less. To realize the Sonic Speed AF, a number of re-engineering and improvements are made including the adaptation of higher-speed actuator, the optimization of algorithms and the parallelization of software processing element. The result is ultra high speed yet accurate AF performance for you to enjoy the airy shooting that has experienced never before. Panasonic also replaced its linear program processing with parallel processing to achieve an ultra high-speed start-up time. The DMC-FS11 can record motion pictures in high-definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-picture recording even in low-light settings. The DMC-FS11 can also record stunning full-size motion pictures in WVGA (848 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) or standard motion pictures in VGA
