When choosing a camcorder, it's a good idea to think about the purpose you wish it to serve. If you want to record family memories in the best quality possible, I'd recommend paying £500+ for a full sized camcorder. However, there are many situations where a handy pocket camera such as the Flip Mino HD is more appropriate. In this review I'll compare the Flip with more expensive camcorders and the recording capabilities on mobile phones. OVERVIEW This camera is a very simple device. It records directly into it's own inbuilt hard drive, which is 4 or 8GB and that will store 1 or 2 hours footage. The footage can then be transfered directly to any computer ...  Read the complete review

This is a review for the Flip Mino HD 8 GB Camcorder. The average price is anything from £90 secondhand to £100-150 new. *First Impressions* It comes in a nifty little black cardboard box, and inside is an even niftier hard black box that flips open and reveals the camera! The camera itself is metal, and I noticed as well very cold to the touch for some reason! The back is silver, the front is black. The screen is smaller than I expected, takes up about a third of the front of the camera. There is a shiny red button right in the middle, which is the record button. On the side is a button to flip out the USB attachment- hence it being a 'flip' camera, I ...  Read the complete review

After I carelessly lost my rather expensive camera whilst going on holiday abroad (after moments of panic I gave up searching in my empty camera case and gave it up for a lost cause), I decided that I really needed something small and portable to take, that did not cost as much as a full, good digital camera, so as to not have a repeat of the incident. I am not, have never been and in all honesty will probably never be the most careful of people, and so I was looking for some kind of camera or camcorder that was good quality but not overly expensive. Obviously, I would still be pretty upset if I lost it, but not nearly as much as I would be if I lost a big bulky SLR. ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the Flip MinoHD with high expectations, and they were met. The Flip MinoHD camcorder is great-- the perfect thing for any family hoping to videotape the kids, friends, events, etc. First of all, it's extremely easy to use: when you get the box, there is absolutely no assembly required. Your first guess about which buttons are the power switch, record button, and USB connector release will be correct; great intuitive design. The device looks and feels great and easily fits in your hand comfortably for long periods of time. It turns on and off quickly) so you don't have to wait long to start recording that precious, fleeting moment. The screen is a ...  Read the complete review

I chose this camera as I wanted small portable camera for taking quick and easy footage on the move for my Youtube cannel. This camera fitted my needs perfectly. It has a red button at the front which after being pressed records almost instantly. It takes only a few seconds from pressing the on button and you actually being able to film which means you never miss those moments which only happen once in a lifetime making for some really interesting films and clips. The flip has a large screen on the back for easy viewing and films in HD which makes everything look a lot clearer. Aiming the camera can be tricking if you are filming yourself as there is no way ...  Read the complete review
