Advantages: Small, durable, light, good quality video

Disadvantages: sometimes gets too hot

The Flip UltraHD is a brilliant camcorder. It easy to use and it's all inclusive, so you don't need to worry about extra cables or memory cards, it's all built in.

It's fairly light and looks like your standard mobile phone. Anyone can use it as the buttons are big and are laid out in a really simple way.
Massive 8GB storage, allows you to record up to 2 hours of HD material. I've recorded a copious amount of video and still have lots space left.
The battery can be charged via USB. One bad thing about it is that, it can sometimes generate a lot of heat causing the flip to stop charging. The battery life is good and a great thing about the Flip is that if it's not in use it automatically switches off, so you don't need to worry about accidently leaving it on and draining out the battery.

UltraHD allows you to record in 720p. In a well lit area the camcorder is able to produce high quality videos, but in area with little to no light, it's quite appalling. It's a shame that they didn't include a built in light as that would have made filming in the dark possible.

The flip come with built in software which allows you to edit and compose videos with ease. No need to buy any additional software, just record what you want, plug the Flip into an available USB port, and then produce, save or burn your video.

For £129 the HD Flip is a pretty decent camcorder.
