It's cool but I think their are better ones to be honest. If you are getting it just to goof off its nice.

if your gonna get it, for sure get the flip hd the regular non-hd sucks

most of these shots are with flip hd.  the others are with non-hd    you can pretty easily tell the difference
and the newer version of flip hd is even better

If you are looking for a camera to shoot skiing videos with it sucks.
If you are looking for a camera to take videos of life events it's decent considering its price and size. Very portable. Got mine a few years ago and i left it in my pants pocket. It went through the wash and still worked so awesome durability.

They work really well in my experience. Sure your not going to get 1080p imax quality, but def gets the job done. Here is a video we made at breck, using a flip cam. We ended up modding it and adding a fish eye, and a little thing for follow cams

it has 1080, but it has bad image stability.
Kind of an armature camera, bad zoom, but it depends on what you are trying to do with it.
A Go pro has the same quality plus you can do a lot more with it, Water proof ect.
they are good if you are just trying to mess around and get some shots


this edit was filmed with the flip mini
