Flip Cam Gets a Hi-Def Upgrade With 720p Shooting MinoHD
Flip, the grandaddy of cheap camcorders, is the latest to join the hi-def video club with the release of the Flip MinoHD. The MinoHD joins the Zi6 and EZ300 in capturing 720p widescreen video, and it will save up to 60 minutes of footage on 4GB of built-in storage. Its the same size as the original Mino, and it has a 2-hour Li-ion battery—though with the way we've seen these HD cams suck down power, we're cautiously optimistic. The $230 camcorder comes in black or your own design, and while it's pricier than similar cams, Flip has a great reputation so we'll reserve judgment until we see it ourselves—which will be verrrrry soon. Stay tuned for a full review, fact sheet down below. [Flip] More » -

Zacuto Kit Turns Video DSLRs Into Cheapo Movie Steadicams
Redrock's "cinematizing" kit stirred up some attention last week with its bolt-on professional movie-camera-alike zoom controls and lens hoods for video DLSRs, and now Zacuto has something similar to offer. The camera sits up front in this rig, with the same kind of light controlling barn doors, fine focus and zoom controls, but this system has a video monitor and a structural beam that goes past the user's shoulder, over an adjustable pad, with counterweights behind, making the whole thing act a little like a steadicam. The system's customized for Canon's 5D Mark II and Nikon's D90, as you may expect, but fledgling videographers'll be disappointed that there's no pricing available yet. [Zacuto via Photographybay] -

Panasonic's Tiny Lumix DMC-G1 DSLR-Killer Does Shoot HD Video
On Friday, we introduced you to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, a tiny interchangeable-lens camera that's not a DSLR, but rather built on the new Micro Four Thirds standard. Now it looks like the G1 will shoot HD video, even though last week's US press releases were mum on the subject. Update: Although Panasonic Japan showed off these photos, the company's US office tells us that the G1 "will not have any video capabilities," but that future models would include HD recording. My advice? Wait for the future models. More »
