Flip Mini HD Video Camcorder Review

by admin on April 9, 2010

If you’ve got kids, you own a camera and use it often. But is it the right camera? The Flip camera is so incredibly easy to use, the only thing stopping you from recording your family’s memories is if you forget to pack it in your bag.

The design on this Flip mini high definition camcorder is so user friendly: turn it on and then press the red button to record. If you want to fast forward or rewind, then use the arrows…the camcorder is super intuitive. Then, for downloading, just plug it in to your USB port. The Flip even has a build-in USB connector, so there’s never any hunting around for cords or attachments. Easy peasy.

For the techies out there, this little machine can capture 120 minutes of HD video on its 8GB hard drive (there are cheaper models that have smaller storage capacity), has a very wide aperture (2.4) that is great for those low light situations, and has a handy zoom.

While the zoom does work, it can be hard to keep your hand steady while zoomed in. There is, however, a tripod attachment, but that sort of defeats the instantaneousness of it. If you want to know more about all the specs, check out the flip website to find out the ins and outs.

What you may not know is that the Flip now has in these really adorable skins you can add on. Check out this sunflower. Can’t you just see pulling this out of your bag?

So, capture all those memories like your babies first steps, when she discovers just how fun eating can be (or rather, smearing food all over the place) or as she leaves the house for prom night…and look wicked cute doing it!
