I've shot with two of them now for about 40 jobs and its as good as I expect to get from any hd cam until its time to upgrade to 4k, love the post quality when shot using a flat curve. Perfect exposure and focus, 60p is awesome for sports action.

I've been using it for about a year to shoot several weddings. The only sport like activity I have recorded has been related to running. The camera performs very well when recording in 60fps. The camera is lightweight and very sturdy. The one downside may be the lcd screen that is tucked away within the handle. It may be difficult to pull it in and out during sporting events. However, it should be fine if you leave it out. One thing I might add is that the camera isn't always amazing in low light. I would still recommend this camera over all others at the price range!

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

The camera is very good but I have never tried it with sports. I use it only for domestic photos. Regarding the lens pack I felt it was useful for me.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

After owning this machine for about 3 months, I have my question answered. I have tried class 4, 6 and 10 SDHC cards, and they all perform nicely without any problem, all the video (1080i) playback were smooth no matter they were recorded by class 4, 6 or 10.Also, still very happy about my purchase, just came back from a family vacation over the summer, and this one device does it all, my camcorder is now collecting dust.

I only record sports so I have not gone over 2hrs. It is a little difficult to set up but it works well

I don't have that problem. I just have a problem with it not recording sound. The video is great, doesn't have blurry issues, I just can't get audio recording. But other than that, it's a good video.

Bill,I can vouch for the Flip Ultra that looks good on TV so I would think the HD version looks even better. I was comparing this camcorder with Kodak's new HD Zi6. I think that it can record at 60 frames per second instead of 30. It would be good if anyone has seen a comparison of the two to share on this forum.Mike

Sry Bert, I only use this to tape football games. But my guess is that despite it's versitility, you would probably need video editing gear to edit the commercials out.GL

I have to agree with what Eric said, I've done tape player recordings and they came out pretty good. I have a tape player that I plugged into the Sound Card, I tweaked the recording adjustments and it came out great. You can do so much with the card, I'm just a tinkerer and it was easy to use. I mostly use my card for playing music, gaming and chatting on-line.

Great question and I don't have a definitive answer but I did want to say that I recently took a full HD clip for 8min on a fully charged battery and I still had full charge. I know it can wear down the battery though and be advised that 8min clip was 540mb, so having enough storage is important as well. I don't know that this would be ideal for recording an entire soccer game, unless you swap out batteries and SD cards. Just my two cents. I have no complaints really. Is a great camera that takes great pics and vids and is easy to use.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet . I am kind of disappointed by the quality of the video myself . Not too enthused by it . It can't record high speed action like it's said to be able to do.

I haven't had very good luck with either. The last Flip camera I owned stopped working for no apparent reason and the Sony Bloggies tend to shut down in the middle of recording. I purchased about 10 of these last year and have used all of them. This seems to be a problem with all 10 of them. I wouldn't really recommend either product to tell you the truth.

From the reviews looks like this is primarily used for video cameras as it is a high speed memory stick. I used it in a sony psp and the games video was smooth when before it was choppy with a lex at card.
