You will definitely love the new Flip Mino HD if you enjoyed its predecessors. Although there is no tremendous difference between them; yet certain features of the new version makes it smarter than the earlier ones.
This new pocket camera looks almost 1.5 inches slimmer than the previous model. It is stunning to look at, thanks to its metal body. Further, the new model is more comfortable to hold even with one hand because of the soft rounded edges. It is a good change from the sharp edged plastic body.
The bigger and sharper new screen is 2 inches wide and has a video resolution of 1280 x 720. However, the capacity of its internal memory is the best feature of this new camera. The memory capacity is now 8 GB, which is precisely twice that of the previous models. Further, the new model allows you to continuously watch videos for two hours instead of the earlier limit of 60 minutes. As the company Flip has been acquired by Cisco, some drastic changes have happened in almost everything. The improved features of the camera are surely a sign of the same. The processor is faster too.
You can now even share your videos because of the HDMI port, a new feature of this model. Although this port was present in the previous models, it was closed with an ugly-looking cover. In the new model, there is a small switch that has to be pressed to remove and replace the cap. Absolutely smart nah! The bad part is that the camera does not come with a HDMI cable. You need to buy the cable separately.
However, some features have remained untouched. The sensor, lens, and the extremely sensitive touch pads that get activated by an accidental touch are all exactly the same as in the previous versions. These features are very infuriating. The sensor is good for close up shots that are taken under perfect lighting conditions. However, under low-light conditions, the results are hazy. The camera does not have optical zoom so one cannot take stills.
It is one of the simplest and easy to use pocket cameras suitable for recording videos. Plus, it suits your wallet too. The Kodak models are superior yet you cannot just ignore the Flip. However, for the Flip to survive the intense competition from smart phones and ipod nano that are known for their superb performance, the flaws will have to be taken care of soon.
