Review: Flip Video MinoHD

{ad}We previously reviewed both the Flip Video Mino and Ultra and since that time the Mino has been part of my travel gear anytime I leave the house where I think a moment of video may be needed. Since it weighs practically nothing and you can record...

Gadgetell Review: Flip Mino HD

Quick Review What is it? The Flip Mino HD is a tiny, pocketable, HD camcorder by PureDigital. What's Cool: Very easy to use. Form factor makes it easy to carry around. HD video quality is okay. What's Not: Shiny surface is a fingerprint magnet. Low...

The Flip Mino HD is very easy to use. Since there is just one shooting mode, you won't be fiddling with menus and settings. The small screen does a fine job as a viewfinder and can be used to see what you just recorded. It would have been nice if...

The new definition in small HD cameras

The Flip Mino HD is an interesting proposition and great HD camera under specific scenarios. A couple weeks ago, I was able to review the Flip Mino in its standard definition format. The Flip Mino HD is like its SD sibling with the exception that it...

Flip Mino HD Review: If it Ain't Broke...

Flip's followup to the successful, caveman-easy Mino HD is fundamentally the same product, slightly better. The improvements are welcome, but there are still some issues I wish Flip would address.

As it's packing the same sensor as the first Mino HD, this new version shares the same strengths and suffers from the same flaws: Good in solid lighting and close-ups, but noisy in low-light and choppy while panning. It still can't take stills, there's...

Flip MinoHD

Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists.

Price ; Pocketability ; Easy-to-use FlipShare software ; Decent video quality for the price

Capacitive buttons ; Low quality screen ; No memory expansion ; Requires a steady, steady hand

Those who can't live without more storage, HDMI output or a larger, higher resolution should hang out for the 8GB MinoHD that's available overseas and may or may not be coming here. Here's hoping that there's a model on the drawing board with image...

Flip Mino HD review

Pocket HD camcorders are evolving so fast we can barely keep up. Just as the Flip Mino HD caught up with the Kodak Zi6 and Creative Vado HD with 720p recording, Toshiba has raised the bar again by announcing its £130 1080p S10 . We'll be looking at...

Review: Flip MinoHD

Flip MinoHD Recorder By Mike Wheeler Last year CyberShack was deciding if the Flip Mino should be the most underwhelming gadget of the year. It was a mini camcorder with a steep price point, and although we decided against handing out any sort of...

Flip MinoHD review

We go hands on with the most popular solid state HD camcorder, just launched in New Zealand.

You can also use the software to create videos or DVDs from your videos - although I've noticed that when creating a video, at least on a Windows PC, the resulting WMV is enormous, and not really the same quality as the original. If you really want to...
