Flip Mino Goes HD!

12/11/08

Flip is the original cheap camcorder and is the latest to join the hi-def video club with the release of the Flip MinoHD. The MinoHD joins the Zi6 and EZ300 in capturing 720p widescreen video, and it will save up to 60 minutes of footage on 4GB of built-in storage. Its the same size as the original Mino, and it has a 2-hour Li-ion battery—though with the way we've seen these HD cams suck down power, we're cautiously optimistic. The camcorder comes in black or your own design, and while it's pricier than similar camcorders it claims to be better? We shall see! It is certainly more colourful, but it still only has 4GB of storage, unlike the Kodak, which has the option of loading up to 32GB via an SD card!
Which is better? Fight!
