Flip Mino HD Camcorder Receives High-def Upgrade

Pure Digital Flip has become the household name for cheap camcorders, but everyone is apparently lining up to dethrone Flip with new high-def contenders. In face of increased competition from Kodak Zi6, RCA HD-EZ300HD and alike, Pure Digital finally steps up with a new HD-capable camcorder called Mino HD.

Weighing at 3.3 oz., the Flip MinoHD sports the exact same seven-button layout and an identical 1.5 LCD preview screen as its standard-def cousin, but it bumps on-board storage to 4GB, enough to store 60 minutes of H.264 video footage in HD (720p 9Mbps VBR). Other aspects are mostly the same as well, including a 2x digital zoom and swiveling USB plug to recharge the camcorder's internal battery. New to the Flip Mino HD includes customizable case, and cross-platform compatible FlipShare software for preparing video to be shared via email, or on YouTube, AOL Video, MySpace or physical media like DVD. Whether or not HD recording, the additional 2GB, and customization are worth the extra $50 will depend on how you like the Flip Mino.
