Flip Video MinoHD (2nd generation) Tests (Camcorder)

Solid 720p video, particularly for its size ; slightly slicker ultraslim yet functional design ; large 2-inch LCD ; easy to use ; integrated lithium ion rechargeable battery ; HDMI output ; FlipShare software compatible with both Macs and Windows machines

Fairly pricey ; no SD/MMC card expansion slot ; no cable included for HD output to HDTVs

Still one of the nicest models available, the second-generation Flip MinoHD offers a slightly improved design, double the memory, and an HDMI output for the same price that the original MinoHD used to cost.

Editors' note: You may have heard that Cisco will no longer be producing the Flip camcorder products. However, as long as they're still available on the market, you may want to consider buying one anyway. If so, here are some issues you should...

The pros and cons are already stated, but I'll speak to both in greater detail here: I was given a Flip MinoHD over the holidays, and have enjoyed playing with it here and there. It's not a real replacement for a proper camcorder - you really want a...

Sleek design, bone-simple to use. Decent software package with right outta' the box usability. Very good battery life, and exceptional auto white balance for a pocket cam

Biggest gripe is that this was marketed by a parent company that just hung Flip out to dry - even though it's a market leader AND money maker. This means no next generation, no continued refinement

I would highly recomend this video camera to anyone and everyone who is interested in capturing moment's in life that you can not do with a digital camera. Plus it's not almost a thousand bucks like those high end HD video cameras. This one fit's right...

I love how compact it is and the quickness to shoot video. And with the flipshare software it makes for easy uploading to your favorite social websites. Combining multiple clips is easy to to with flipshare software which is a plus as well

I wish I had a wider view, it doesn't cover a wide angle to your shot. I know there's an attachment lens available, but that takes away from it being compact. Although I am not concerned alot about the aforementioned I still love my flip mino hd

I like it because it is easy to use. The price was not bad and the quality of the video is very good. I would definitely recommend it to my friends. It is compact and can be taken with you anywhere.

Easy to use, Size, quality of video, and the price. I got mine online for $121.00. It comes in handy when I want to shoot video of my grandkids. I can just drop it in my pocket or purse and it is as simple as point, shoot, record with one button

It does not have a memory card slot and I had to buy the HDMI cables separately
