    You won’t be dazzled by its video or LCD, but this pocket camcorder is child’s play to use and not bad in low light Read more

    An impressive camera for those who don’t need total tip-top quality Good points Light and small, and produces true HD video Bad points Not quite up to the quality of larger cameras Read more

    The MinoHD does the bare minimum and focuses on its only role: shooting HD video for online distribution. Plenty of other camcorders can do better for the same price, but none of them are as small and sleek as the Flip. Read more

    While the ultra-simple Flip Video MinoHD has its flaws and is rather expensive, it produces impressive video for a camcorder of its size and represents another step forward for mini-camcorders in general Read more

    With gadgets moving on so fast, you can't help but notice that the Flip Mino HD doesn't offer as much as you'll get on competitor models - you'll have to make do with less memory, a smaller screen and no options. On the plus side is price, coming in at a substantial £50 less than the Creative Vado (online discounts aside). Viewing your HD video is also not as simple as we would like. With no HDMI and the on-board software uploading regular resolution, you might miss out... Read more

  1. Didn't know it was a disposable!

    When I bought this flip mino, 60 minutes 13 months ago, I was skeptical about the negative reviews because there were so few and the positives seemed to greatly outweigh the negatives. Well, I wish I had payed more attention because it completely stopped working and THE most inopportune time that I could imagine. I used over the course of 13 months it to take exactly 372 SHORT videos, mostly of my infant daughter. It was working fine this Christmas morning which also... Read more

    I've had three units so far, none of the three would charge out-of-the box.They have only email tech support, but they can only suggest a reset process that doesn't solve the problem. They string you along until the 90 day warranty expires and then they say that they can no longer help you. Read the reviews at Amazon. Over 100 users with the same problem. Read more

    The iPhone 3GS video camera is far and away better than this one, they at least figured out some sort of image stabilization. This looks like a jailbroken iPhone 3G's video (only HD). Read more

    nice and small in size, very good picture quality and resolution, pretty easy and intuitive interface, plenty of storage space for your average person, and pretty good price ... Read more
