    so would the verdict be that zi8 is still a better deal? picked a zi8 up last week after reading the giz review when i was looking into a cheap video camera. so far i like it. #flipminohdreview

    @krztov: So you just want affirmation on your purchase? Well, let's see: zi8 has an SD slot and 1080p recording, so out of the gate it's got a leg up on the mino hd. for the price, I'd be pretty happy with the zi8. #flipminohdreview

    In addition to the touch-sensitive buttons, the lens location on these is ridiculous. It's right where your fingers would be if you were holding it in one hand. #flipminohdreview

    It seems that a lot of review websites tend to neglect the fact that the Mino HD has a bigger, better sibling, the Ultra HD. It has tactile buttons, removable battery, increased capacity, etc.

    Still no optical zoom or image stabilizing, though :/

    and is it too much to ask for a macro lens?

    @windupbird81: In my opinion, the Zi8 is terrible. Stick with the Flip and you won't be disappointed. #flipminohdreview

    @windupbird81: I'll have to agree with macpatrik. I've owned both, and the Zi8 just felt bad compared to the flip. the latter is much more solid, and won't let you down (for general purposes) #flipminohdreview

    Still no stabilization? I'm curious to see that Kodak camera that's coming out with stabilization on it.

    I used the mino hd. I didn't like it. The touch buttons were too sensitive, the lens was right where you'd put your fingers if you were to hold it in one hand, and the button combination to go to the settings is also the record button.

    In reply to Next-Generation Flip MinoHD: Sleeker Design, Double the Memory
    Still not doing it for me. Price bump or not, here's what I think this needs before it's a slam dunk:

    -Removable battery (Ultra HD has one though)
    -1080p capable. Lower res available.
    -Still shots
    -Image stabilization
    -OPTICAL zoom, at least 2 or 3x

    Wouldn't care if it added a few millimeters or dollars. I just want a true HD pocket camcorder that's not a fugly square (lookin' at you, Kodak).

    I don't understand all the rush to these HD digital camcorders for the regular consumer. Maybe for youtube length shots this might be useful but when I take 3 hours of SD vacation footage, edit it then run it through my filters and finally add any SFX I want to add every 20 minutes of 720x480 takes 48+ hours to render out on my quad core system. I couldn't imagine trying to do that with HD.

    Personally I would rather have a nice SD digital that produced colors on the level of a professional camcorder with better low light and less noise before I would even THINK about going to HD.

    I've been waiting all summer to post that rant and I finally got live internet privileges at the institution after they were taken away in May. Read only Gizmodo printed out on old newspapers can get frustrating.

    In reply to Unsightly Flip Video Remote Appears
    It reminds me of the first remote control I ever used - looked like this with the one button in the center, and it made a loud "click" whenever you pressed it. The TV picked up the audible range of the click and changed the channel, hence the word "clicker". I think it was a 1970's Zenith TV.

    Maybe Flip has decided to build replacement remotes for old Zenith televisions?

    this form factor for a "video camera" just doesn't jive with me. I get it, quick vids, on the fly. For that I'd rather just use my celly, sorry. If I need "high-def", I am going to pull out my prosumer camera. This is not "pocketable".

    In reply to Kodak Zi8 1080p Pocket Camcorder Review: Your Move, Flip
    Doesn't look bad... specially for that price.
    I wonder how bad it is to hold a Blackberry shaped camcorder to make those movies.
    But well, since it has a tripod mount, we could probably make some DIY magic with a bike grip or something...

    Kodak seems to make the best pocket cameras at the moment. I got the Zi6 for my girlfriend and she loves it. Filled 2 16GB SD cards while in Germany and the quality is really good for this type of camera. A friend has a MinoHD and we took some 4th of July videos with both and the Kodak is much better. And the price, just perfect for the quality.

    In reply to Zoom Q3: Finally A Flip-Type Pocket Cam With Decent Audio
    it looks like a sound recorder that happens to capture some moving pictures as well. $250 is a lot to spend on something that has no redeeming value other than to blind kids. great, now i feel bad for saying blind kids.

    i've had a Zoom H2 audio recorder for a year and a half and i love it. i use it to record live music and use my canon g9 to record video at the same concerts.

    the q3 has roughly the same audio recording capabilities as the H2, plus all the video capability that i need.

    will definitely look at picking one of these up when they ship!
