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 :/
@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
Cisco has been so active in buying property and re-selling it that it seems reasonable that they are just trying to flip it.
Get it -- "flip it"? It is like a joke on the name of the video camera, but it also means to re-sell it. Kind of funny. Don't you think? I worked on that one all night. Don't thank me. Really. It's okay.
Just some constructive criticism Benny...at the beginning of the video you looked and sounded like you just woke up to do this review. As the vid started to play some more you got into the flow of things. Thought I just mentioned it you...Nice kicks by the bed!

You mean for the 11 minutes between the posting and your comment?
