Flip Video MinoHD Camcorder - Review and Buy Online

The Flip Video MinoHD Camcorder is genius! For two reasons - it does what it says, and does it well, and, (get ready for it) - its so easy to use "even a caveman could do it!" (I know ... ugh, but that's the real reason to consider a Flip hand-held video camera.)

In a natural progression that started with the original Flip hand-held video camcorder, the Flip MinoHD now allows you to get HD video with the same ease of use as the original Flip video recorder camera. The Flip Mino HD does the one thing we all want a camcorder to do - shoot great videos, on the go, without having to go through a "process." Like Kodak said about its cameras, with the Flip MinoHD you just point-and-shoot!

But it gets better! With the flip-out USB connector you just plug the whole thing into your computer, (no cords to keep track of, or lose), and the included video software - FlipShare - makes working with your videos easier than ever. It comes pre-configured to automatically upload to youTube, Facebook, and MySpace without any complicated set-up process, and you can edit and manage your videos just by following on-screen prompts.

If you simply want to be able to shoot great video on-the-go, without a complicated process, or hassle, the Flip MinoHD is something you should check out.

The suggested retail price is $239, and it is available at almost all stores that sell electronics, but you can almost always find the best price available online at ebay. And with ebay's "Buyer Protection Program", and its "Trusted Seller" ratings, you can shop with confidence knowing your purchase is as safe as any you would make at a local electronics store, but a lot less expensive!

The most important thing to know about the Flip Video MinoHD Camcorder is that it works just as advertised, (and as you expect), and it has proven to be as dependable as it is easy to use.

The specs for us non-techies that just want our gadgets to work the way we expect are that the Flip Video MinoHD Camcorder has a 1.5" viewing screen, one-button HD quality recording, (with wide-screen format available to chose), 2X digital zoom, and will store 60 to 120 minutes of video, (depending on 4GB or 8GB model).

The real nitty-gritty is that it is small enough to fit in your pocket, (and sturdy enough to survive it!), and you just pull it out and push one button to record any action video on the go. Then you just plug it into your computer and click on the prompts to transfer your videos. Isn't that why we are considering a Flip video camera anyway!

But for the technical details, here are the company listed specs:
