A Camera that's Pocket Friendly

You will definitely love the new Flip Mino HD if you enjoyed its predecessors. Although the new device is not very different from the earlier versions, there are certain new features that make the new version more worthy.

This new pocket camera looks almost 1.5 inches slimmer than the previous model. Its stunning metal body makes you want to keep looking at it. The soft rounded edges make it comfortable to hold even with one hand. It is a good change from the sharp edged plastic body.

The new screen is sharper and bigger; it has a video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and is 2 inches in width. The best part about the new Mino HD is the capacity of its internal memory. It is now 8 GB, which is two times that of the earlier models. One can enjoy two hours of video which was earlier confined to paltry 60 minutes. As the company Flip has been acquired by Cisco, some drastic changes have happened in almost everything. The improved features of the camera are surely a sign of the same. The processor speed has been enhanced too.

A new feature is the HDMI port that enables sharing of videos on HD screens. Although this port was present in the previous models, it was closed with an ugly-looking cover. Now there is a small switch that needs to be pressed to swing it open and close. Absolutely smart nah! The sad part is that the new model does not come with a HDMI cable. You have to buy one for yourself separately.

However, some features have remained untouched. The lens, sensor and the 'too sensitive' touch pads that keep getting activated when accidentally touched, are all exactly the same as those of the earlier version. These features are very infuriating. The sensor is good for close up shots that are taken under perfect lighting conditions. When the light is low, the result is hazy. The camera does not have optical zoom so one cannot take stills.

It is one of the simplest and easy to use pocket cameras suitable for recording videos. Plus, it suits your wallet too. The Kodak models are superior yet you cannot just ignore the Flip. However, in order to survive the intense competition provided by smart phones and ipod nano, both of which are known for their excellent performance, the Flip has to get rid of its flaws soon.
