Another Easy Flip... but now in HD!:
I've previously owned the Flip Ultra and the standard def Flip Mino camcorders, and this is the best version yet. Slim body, better access to the flip up USB port, great battery life, VERY easy to use interface and design... and now in HD! The camera shoots in 720p, nice and clear, looks great on YouTube and the like. My technology-scared/scarred 60-year-old father even bought one when he saw how easy they were to use. My only complaint is the lack of manual focus controls. The auto-focus is well done... more info
Software a problem for 64-bit operating systems.:

Nice camera:
The Flip Mino HD has exceeded my expectations. It does what they say it will do without any hitches. The video quality and even the sound are great for any $200 camera. When you consider that it is roughly the size of the old iPod Mini, the quality is almost unbelievable. Highly recommended ++
great little gadget; a few minor tweaks could make it even better:
Got this as a Christmas gift, and I have to say, it's a pretty nifty little device. It does exactly what it was intended to do, which is capture videos spur-of-the-moment -- it's very portable (small and lightweight), and starts up very quickly, and is very easy to use. If you're looking for something that can capture more video, like on a roadtrip or vacation, then this really isn't the tool for that, given that it maxes out at 60 minutes, but like I said, for what it's intended to do, it is aces.more info
