Flip Mino: Our First Footage (So Far, So Good)

I just got my hands on the Flip Mino and I'm impressed with it so far. It's way thinner than it's big brother Ultra, but remains almost the same height and width, which is good because it's not small enough to lose. The USB placement is well hidden on this design and I think it's positioned to fit in the slot more conveniently than the Ultra. As you can see in the video sample above, it takes solid video, adjusting from diffuse outdoor lighting to dimmer indoor lighting with ease, and without a lot of noise. The touch-sensitive buttons weren't sensitive enough for me at first, but after fiddling with them a bit they worked fine. Also, I'm still not sure which side of the Li-ion/AA debate I am on, but the thought of having to charge this thing for a full three hours when it runs out of battery doesn't excite me. I'll be testing it out more to let you know my full opinion, but in the meantime, so far, so good. Check out the gallery after the jump. [Flip Video] More »

Cheap Camcorder Showdown: Creative Vado Vs. Flip Ultra (Vado Looks Better, Flip Shoots Better)

On paper, Creative's Vado might outclass and out-spec the wildly successful Flip Ultra camcorder it very liberally (like crazy, PETA liberal) takes its cues from, but what about in the real world? Laptop Mag tosses 'em together and finds that while the Vado outpaces the older Flip most respects—it's cheaper, slimmer, more attractive and has a better layout and bigger LCD—the Flip wins where it counts: video quality.

Flip Video Ultra: Better Than the Original, But Still for Your Mom

Today the Mossberg Solution takes a whack at Pure Digital's update to the Flip Video, the Flip Video Ultra. The 60-minute (2GB) and 30-minute (1GB) models run $30 more a piece than the original, but basically improve on them in every way (better screen, resolution, etc.). Overall, the Solution says it's "a pleasure to record startlingly good footage for a camera of its size both indoors and outside" and fairly easy to share video, which is the focus of the update. Just don't expect to share pristine quality video, since it's still lower res than a standard camcorder. [Mossy Solution]

Pure Digital Camcorder Now Works With Google Video, Not YouTube

Pure Digital has updated their camcorder to make it easier for users to upload their recorded video onto video-hosting Web sites, like Google Video (but not YouTube, at least not yet). Originally released this past May, the camcorder, which comes in two sizes, one that hold 30 minutes of video and one that holds 60 minutes, now features a one-touch mode that uploads recorded video to the aforementioned video-hosting Web sites.

Pure Digital Point & Shoot Camcorder

Cheap and easy are the names of the game with this camcorder. It is small, runs off two AA batteries and will hold up to 30 minutes of VGA-quality video in the built in 512MB of flash memory. The Pure Digital P&S Camcorder has a 1.5-inch LCD for viewing and is extremely simple—push the red button to recorder, push it again to stop, and delete and save with ease. It does include a 2x digital zoom, but with the low quality of video, the digital zoom will harm more than help. Overall the Pure Digital P&S Camcorder does a good job of providing basic video clips with average audio at a cheap price of $129. More »
