A Camera that’s Pocket Friendly
The new Flip Mino HD is a delight for those who have enjoyed its predecessors. Although there aren’t many significant differences between the new and the older versions, certain features of the new Flip Mino HD give it an edge over the earlier versions.
This new pocket camera looks almost 1.5 inches slimmer than the previous model. It is stunning to look at, thanks to its metal body. The soft rounded edges make it comfortable to hold even with one hand. This is a refreshing change from the sharp-edged plastic body of the earlier models.
The new screen is sharper and bigger; it has a video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and is 2 inches in width. The best part about the new Mino HD is the capacity of its internal memory. The memory capacity is now 8 GB, which is precisely twice that of the previous models. Moreover, you can now watch videos for continuously two hours instead of one hour. After the acquisition of Flip by Cisco, almost everything has been tweaked. The improved features of the camera are surely a sign of the same. The processor speed has been enhanced too.
The HDMI port is a new feature that allows you to share videos on HD screens. This port was there earlier too but it used to be closed by an ugly looking cap. Now there is a small switch that needs to be pressed to swing it open and close. Smart eh! The downside is that a HDMI cable is not provided with the camera. You have to buy one for yourself separately.
There are certain things have not been taken care of. The sensor, lens, and the extremely sensitive touch pads that get activated by an accidental touch are all exactly the same as in the previous versions. They are really annoying features. The sensor is fine for close up shots in perfect lighting. While in low light it is hazy. Further, stills cannot be taken as the camera does not have the optical zoom feature.
It is one of the simplest and easy to use pocket cameras suitable for recording videos. And it does not burn a hole into your pocket. The Kodak models are superior yet you cannot just ignore the Flip. But if they want to survive, then they have to remove the flaws as soon as possible because of intense competition in the form of smart phones, ipod nano that offer stellar performance.
