WARNING – NOT TRULY 3RD GENERATION,
Please see Cisco’s response, below. I am glad Cisco has responded.
________________________________
I almost bought one of these until I read the fine print.
The “real” Flip UltraHAD 3rd Generation has 60 fps recording speed for better action shots AND electronic stabilization – two BIG features.
I can give up the 4 gb of extra storage on the “regular” model, but his “Black Friday” model blowing out at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon strikes me as a “come on” – it omits the two essential features that make the 3rd Generation Flips of interest – the higher frame rate (60 fps vs 30 fps on this one) and the stabilization. Read the specs and blurbs on the REAL model you need to be looking at:

While these products do not have the same feature set, both the 2 Hour and 1 Hour version are new products this year for Flip, and that is why they have both featured the 3rd Generation designation in the product name. Both products feature new chip sets, updated firmware, and the latest version of our FlipShare software. Furthermore, the new 1 Hour UltraHD product offers consumers a model of our best selling HD Flip video camera at an opening price point of $149 (Suggested Retailer Price) for the first time. Additionally, the Blue and Magenta colors that are available are entirely new to the UltraHD family. It is always our intention to be clear and direct about our products and their features; we apologize for any misunderstanding that may have resulted here. To avoid further confusion, we have asked Amazon to remove the reference to “3rd Generation” from the 1 Hour UltraHD product names.
Handy camera,
I couldn’t ask for an easier lighter more user friendly camcorder than this! This camera is so easy to use it’s amazing. Just point and shoot. Then preview your videos or upload to your computer. The Flip software for your computer helps you customize and make adorable movies to be burned to a cd and saved forever! This camer is so easy, I convinced my principal to purchase three for our school. Now kids make video projects! I even video taped our SGA speeches and created a movie with music and credits. Sure, there are plenty out there that can do all this, but for the price and the ease, the Flip is the bomb!

|Very deceptive by Flip,
I double checked the specs on the Flip website – although the 1 hour and 2 hour Flips have identical names, they are NOT the same quality camera. The 2 hours has image stabilization and 60 fps (frames per second), while the 1 hour camera does not have stabilization and only shoots 30 fps.
I can’t stand it when companies pull stuff like this.
