• AA batteries
• 2" LCD Screen

Good

• Light
• Portable
• User-friendly
• Quick upload to youtube
• Supported 1-2 hour videos
• Stop, start, rewind, pause ability
• Easy to edit videos with basic software
• Instant playback feature (I could watch my videos on the tiny 2" screen)

Bad

• It is not a smartphone

Verdict

• True, I loved the little gadget. I took it with me to the park in order to make silly films with my kids, but I had to think about bringing it with me. I had to have a plan to make a video. But no one plans to take their smartphone with them to the park. It is intuitive. The smartphone has all of the Flip Camera's features + more. Flip Camera, I loved you, but I have moved on. RIP.
