I have several game cams.  This is the best of the bunch.

I have a number of game cams, and have been using them for several years.  This is easily the best one I have had.  It has 14 megapixels, which means I can crop photos it captures by a LOT and still have more resolution than the average computer screen, which has about two megapixels.  That same two megapixels is enough to print a nice 8x10 in case I need a hard copy.  Another great feature is the extremely fast trigger speed.  That means I can use this on a trail and still have a good chance to catch more than the tail of the animal that used to be there.  My slower cameras have to be used facing water or some other attraction that has the animals more stationary.  The motion sensor has a range of 50 feet, which is actually farther than I need, since I don't generally put my cameras that far from trails, water, etc.  The flash has an exceptional range of 70 feet.  Again, in my case, that's more than I need, but nice to have.

The infrared flash is totally invisible, even to animals apparently, and they can see further into the infrared than humans.  Some of my older cameras have regular white flashes, and some have the non-invisible infrared flashes.  I don't think it matters to the animals.  I have read that the animals see a flash and think it is lightning.  For whatever reason, in my experience visible flashes don't spook the animals.  However, they do make your camera easier for a human to spot, and thus more likely to be stolen, so that's the real advantage of the invisible flash.

This camera is tough, has good camo, seems very water tight, takes excellent photos, and is easy to program.

Now for some general tips.  As I said, I have been using these game cams for a few years now.  Find a good spot.  Look for other signs of animal activity, such as scat, tracks, chewed branches or leaves, or scrapes. Active trails and water are always good  If you aren't planning to hunt, you may be able to put out food or a salt block -- check local laws.  Fifteen to 20 feet from where you think the animals will be is usually about right.  Try to place the camera so the sun will not shine on the lens.  I find about three feet off the ground to be about optimal.  If you have a good spot you may be amazed at what you will catch in the photos.  I live on five acres of very rural property at about 4500' of elevation in southeastern Arizona.  Much higher mountains are just a couple of miles distant, and we deliberately maintain our property for wildlife, with a lot of cover, several ponds, and a lot of vegetation.  We are registered as Certified Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation.  Our cameras have caught cottontails, jack rabbits, kangaroo mice and rats, coyotes, kit foxes, grey foxes, three species of skunks, javalinas, mule deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and bears.  We have also captured photos of several types of hawks, golden eagles, and several types of owls taking water at our ponds.  If you don't have a game camera, you probably have no idea what is prowling around your property, especially at night.

This is one of the many video camcorders available on the market today. The fact that it is made by Sony, that it is small and portable and fairly straight forward to use, as well as the low cost are the reasons I chose it.

I haven't really had much of an opportunity to try it out yet, but have confidence it will be as expected. SOny items rarely disappoint.

This camera works better than another popular brand that I have tried. I would buy another VideoSecu over other products for bullet type cameras.  The color is not great, but not necessary for surveillance at home.

I've had several of these.  This is the best one yet.

I've used all of Cuddeback cameras over the years and this one is their best ever. The white flash catches awesome night pics in full color and "NO" it does not spook deer. Don't let camera companies blow that smoke on you. It's all about marketing.

I was hesitant about getting another Wildgame innovations brand but this cam is great. Not the best night pics but it isn't a $300 cam. Day pics are great! I will be buying a few more!

I have a total of 6 of these on two systems and all are still working after five years . I thought I better buy a couple cams before they're not available anymore. These will complete both setups.
All of my cams are on poles totally exposed to the weather and working fine.

The best bang for the buck you are gonna get in a TVI camera. Beautiful day and night vision. Some of the best night vision I have seen. This is the most popular camera I sell.

It's small, takes pictures and video, and it's HD!

Note: I bought mine used for $60 so my review may be more optimistic because of the deal at the time.

The video is really clear and does just as well if not better than analog camcorders. I can honestly say it's not as great as higher end HD camcorders but then again "you get what you pay for". The light doesn't do much good at all. Low light shooting still isn't that bad. I would recommend using this in a well lit area or outside during the day. I've also seen a choppy look to some quick panning shots. 720p is almost better than 1080 shooting. 1080 is not that much clearer and shooting in 720 saves memory card space, also transfering to PC is quicker because of the smaller video files.

The camera is amazing. I have a Sony Cybershot that costs 4 times as much that is just a little better than this little guy. Of coarse, you don't get any advanced features or the same quality. The flash works ok in short distances. There is no lens cap, you can't attach lenses or filters, but it's a really good point and shoot digital camera.

The audio recording feature works fine but really is useless. You might as well use the camcorder at low res. Audio in loud places distorts but is true with most cameras.

Memory card storage is awesome. It's cheap and reusable. Just buy one big card and that's all you'll ever need again. I've never had to trash a memory card for being worn out. Just transfer onto your PC and keep shooting.

The monitor is small but clear. Not recommended for those with seeing/reading problems. It is the only viewfinder. There is no other way to shoot. You can't turn it off to preserve battery life while shooting or else you can't see what you're shooting.

It feels good and sturdy but I don't feel confident in dropping it on any surface.

Reasonably quick startup/shutdown time.

The battery lasts enough for a days use, maybe 2. I recommending having 2 on hand though, for long shooting days or just to be safe. They're cheap and can be found on Amazon. You can charge via USB or wall outlet.

TV or video/audio hookup is easy. Takes only a minute. Cables included are good quality and work with other stuff I own.

You have to buy additional software to get the shot video onto a DVD or Blue-ray disc. I haven't been able to use any pre-installed Microsoft Windows software to do this. This could upset some customers since software can cost upwards from $50. There is free stuff online that works ok too though. Look around before buying anything.

After figuring this gadget out, it's awesome. You can take it anywhere. I never heard of this brand but am surprised at how well this camera works for the price. Don't expect miracles but expect a good camera. I really like mine and am very pleased.

I've owned this webcam for over 2 years and it is the best one I've owned. I particularly like its featureset, especially all the effects you can play with. My nephews live far from me and I've used them quite a bit to entertain them. Picture quality is great and I haven't had any problems in the various computers I've used it (XP/Win7). Highly recommended!

I can truly say that this is a great little camcorder. I have had a ball with this since getting it for Christmas. My grandson is now wanting one for himself. For the cost of this camcorder, one could not get a better product. Try one and see if you will not be very satisfied.

Prompt shipping.  My first Action Cam and this was probably overkill.  Has a lot of parts you would need.  Get it - you won't be sorry.

It seems like most of the reviews here have done a great job of presenting the cons and the pros.  Everything that Heath L. Buckmaster said is absolutely true.  Instead of being redundant, I'll simply summarize my thoughts.

The Flip Ultra Camcorder is a nice little device.  While you won't get as great of picture quality as the MinoHD, which is also a bit pricier, you will get a nice, compact every day camcorder that fits nicely in your pocket.  It has a slightly larger screen than the MinoHD cameras I've seen, which is nice, and I do like the button press to turn it on (compared to the earlier non-HD model that had a spring-switch.  With the extra space, you get about two hours of filming at a 640x480 resolution.  What was surprising was that, while it does take batteries, it does come with nice Duracell batteries and not some crappy off-brand.  Aurally, it has a good sound that was able to pick up karaoke singing, when the surrounding tables were also talking and laughing loudly.  This camera works the best outdoors during the day or in lit rooms.  That said, the video quality in a gloomy bar wasn't too bad, surprisingly.

For those thinking about getting one of the earlier, cheaper models (the first one I bought was a 30 minute one for around $50 here) and this one, definitely go with this camcorder.  It holds more data, is more attractive and I found it easier to grip and less bulky. However, for those that are torn between this and one of its HD siblings, the HD one isn't much more expensive and has better picture quality.  The only question is what the new iPods, with a camera in them, will look like compared to the Flip.  Apple seems to be gunning for this market share and, if the camera quality is similar, you might want to look at the iPods since they are much slimmer and feature-filled.

I went through a lot of slow camcorders and atlast found this one as best.
I was reviewing all camcorders compatible in HD with Hard Drive one's but found this so appealing at the provided price range.

Only drawback that I came across is not having viewfinder. But I don't really require it as the screen is too good. 60GB is too much for my use.
As a whole I like it and until next few years I don't want to loose this.

This camcorder works perfectly for me.  The 60fps is very good.  However, if your hands are pretty steady the 30fps isn't bad either.  Quick note, the image stabilization only applies to 720p 60fps and wvga 60fps.  Low lighting isn't half bad.  There is a night mode option that does help a bit but to be honest, I didn't purchase this cam to do low light situations.  Still images are really nice once you get the hang of taking them.  The 1080p resolution is at 1440x1080.  This is actually at 1.33 which is full frame, but the pixels aren't square.  If you have K-Lite Codec Pack, you should have something called XVid MP4 which can export this as a widescreen avi file.  You'll have to play around with the settings on it to get it just right though.  Didn't have any trouble doing this with AVS Video Editor 4.  The other video resolutions shouldn't give you any trouble.  And mind you, it has nothing to do with the camcorder itself.  Codecs aren't truly specifically designed for 1080p so you have to work around it.  Format for vids is .mov  The software I got with it was ArcSoft.  If nothing else, take advantage of the Digital Theatre that comes with that package.  It's awesome for viewing the .MOV files as well as any dvd you own.  Plus it lets you take still pictures from whatever video is playing.  Make no mistake, the HD on this baby is nice.  I would suggest testing it out on an actual HD screen though before you start bashing it.  I was hanging with one of my old buddies and he thought it was garbage until we looked at the vids on the computer.  An LCD is never a good indicator of how the full video looks.  That's not even an lcd's purpose.  It's so you can see what you're shooting in the first place.  And he claimed to be so HD savvy!  Ha!

I seriously would recommend this camcorder for anyone that plans to do a lot of daytime shooting.  I'd even recommend it for Youtube vids although honestly if all you're doing is shooting for Youtube ONLY, you could actually go after a flip that records in hd.  Plan to become a videography hobbyist like myself?  Go after the Aiptek.

One more thing.  This camcorder has an external mic jack.  This was the deal maker for me to be honest.  I plan to be pretty busy this fall recording marching bands ever saturday and an external mic is a godsend for this price range.  It works very very well and that's after numerous tests at different volume ranges.  Using the internal mic only?  It has nice frequency response and is in stereo.  It's located on the lcd flap so no internal motor noise is picked up.  Hope this helped you guys.

This is by far the best game camera I've used  I've owned many and most are junk that won't last over one winter.. Trigger speed and distance sensor are good, picture quality is clear at 12MP resolution, battery life is also way above average (using quality alkaline type), and easy to setup menu.  Excellent as a static camera.  I've already bought 3 E2 and one E3.

I have tried many different brands before. This is the best one.
