Especially as other budget camcorders now shoot 1080p video
Solid construction; stereo microphone; smooth digital zoom; good color and light balance; dead-easy to operated; 2-hour storage.
Can shoot a little too bright indoors; HDMI cable not included; no image stabilization; digital zoom looks grainy.
The science of pocket camcorders is evolving. What was a great pocket camcorder yesterday (again, with all its compromises) is only adequate when a newer, better model comes out. Such is the case with the latest Flip MinoHD. It’s today’s great...
Overpriced relative to competitors, Lacks 1080p capture, No image stabilization, No included video output cables, No SD card slot, Suffers from severe motion blur, Slightly heavier than previous version, *
Lay the Mino HD side-by-side with every one of its pocket-video-cam competitors, and style-conscious YouTubeographers will pick it up first every time. The new aluminum body undoubtedly makes the Mino HD a great-looking and feeling camcorder, which may...
New Jack City: HDMI, oh my! AlmostFull Metal Jacket: Frontside brushedmetal body boosts toughness, adds character (and only 0.7 ounces). Reasonable battery life: 1.75 hours of mostly continuous recording. Upgraded software for basic video editing and quic

Solid 720p video, particularly for its size; slightly slicker ultraslim yet functional design; large 2-inch LCD; easy to use; integrated lithium ion rechargeable battery; HDMI output; FlipShare software compatible with both Macs and Windows machines.
Fairly pricey; no SD/MMC card expansion slot; no cable included for HD output to HDTVs.
Still one of the nicest models available, the second-generation Flip MinoHD offers a slightly improved design, double the memory, and an HDMI output for the same price that the original MinoHD used to cost. Read full review See all prices
Abstract: 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. The original Mino HD was one of the simplest, easiest-...
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
Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists....
Best-in-class low-light performance, outstanding build quality and design, extra 4GB of memory
No still-photo capture, no removable storage or battery, minor imaging issues in optimum conditions
The second-generation Flip MinoHD is the sexiest and most solidly built pocket camcorder we’ve seen yet, and it backs those refinements up with very good video quality. Highly recommended. ...
Abstract: If one were to seek a poster-child for pocket camcorders, you’d need look no further than . These candy bar-style camcorders epitomise point-and-shoot video with their simple operation, easy connectivity, and emphasis on sharing video across the Web.La...
Abstract: Has the Flip Mino HD sounded the death knell for the handicam? Well, it has for me. I've always wanted to own a handicam or some sort of video camera that is portable and can be whipped out at a moment's notice. Now I can with Flip's pint-sized Mino HD...
