Disney Flix Camcorder-Black

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 welland 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.

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!

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.

This kids camcorder has been one of the best Christmas presents we've ever purchased for our daughter -with the exception that after around 4 months it stopped working all together. Digital Blue quickly responded to our problem, and replaced the camera.

After another year of use, the camera doesn't work at all if a memory card is installed. The on-camera memory is so small; you need the memory card to get any real use out of the camera. Digital Blue's response now:

Unfortunately our limited warranty policy is only for one year from the date of purchase. We also do not have a repair facility for our products.

No replacement (understandable), but can't fix it? Buyer beware!

good camera for the money. we paid $45 for it. its for my son to replace his v-cam now which i think is no longer available. YOU MUST BUY A MEMORY CARD IT ONLY HAS 64K WORTH OF INTERNAL MEMORY. it was only good for 2 mins worth of video. i dont know how long its going to hold up, we've only had it since easter. so far so good it has fallen once from about 3 feet and had no problems so it seems pretty stable.
