The editors didn't like
Software could be much better
No light! Not so great for nightlife
Volume changing is too incremented
Regular buttons may be better
Easy to accidentally turn on or off
No option to expand memory
I’d like to thank Flip Video for making this review possible.
Small LCD screen
No HD output.
No mic or earphone jack
Toosimple editing software
Tough to shoot steady video consistently
Poor automatic white balance
No HD playback directly from camcorder
White balance doesnt seem to be that good under fluorescent lights
Frame rate slow for some fast speed recording
Only 4GB of memory
No expansion slot
1 hour of record time and is overly priced.
Small screen. Memory isnt expandable.
No image stabilization. No sound input.
Still no memory card slot or digital still capability
Tiny LCD screen
Composite video output
No removable storage or battery.
Not quite up to the quality of larger cameras
Not up to quality of larger cameras
Can’t expand memory
No HDMI. Only 30fps. 1.5inch screen makes playback annoying. Internal Liion battery gives half as much shoottime as standard Mino. 2x digital zoom results in a picture that's noisier than a Jackson Pollack. Frontside red recording light is still antisteal
Somewhat pricey
No SD/MMC card expansion slot
Rechargeable battery isnt removable or replaceable
Cant output HD to HDTVs.
Needs stabilization and HDMI port.
NONE!
Video tends toward yellow when shot with typical indoor lighting
Very good video quality, Thin, sleek design, Responsive touch-sensitive controls, Intuitive, streamlined software
Still no memory card slot or digital still capability, Tiny LCD screen, Composite video output
Although Pure Digital kicked off the YouTube camcorder craze with the original Flip Mino, it was soon bested by other models that offered 720p resolution. Now with the Flip Mino HD, the company has jumped aboard the high-def bandwagon. Unfortunately, t...

No removable storage or battery.
Pure didnt have to change much with the addition of the Flip Mino HD for it to be a success, and thats precisely the end product. Hardware-wise, its the familiar pocket camera with 720p video and a few alterations made to improve the overall image q...

Compact; shoots HD; good low-light shooting; can create custom case for free; easy to operate.
Video tends toward yellow when shot with typical indoor lighting; microphone not terribly sensitive; digital zoom produces soft images.
The Flip MinoHD is a step ahead for the Flip family. Like its sibling, it’s easily packed into a pocket or purse, it holds enough video for its intended purpose, and the case-customization option is very slick and likely to appeal to the Mino&rsquo...
Abstract: The Pure Digital Flip MinoHD (Specs, Recent News, $229.99) ($229 MSRP) is a very good camcorder for its price range – well get that out of the way before we start listing reasons why you might not want to buy it. The sensor, the compression, and bitra...

Abstract: Pure Digital launched their latest point and shoot camcorder today, the high-definition Flip MinoHD. Keeping the same, sleek styling of the Mino camcorder launched back in June, the MinoHD adds 720p recording (1280 x 720) and, at 4GB, double the memor...
Once again, Flip has done a respectable job of bringing dead simple, high quality video recording to the masses. The MinoHD is light on features—no macro shooting, still picture taking, or video quality options—but it makes up for these shortc...
