The new Flip Mino HD will surely delight those who had fun using 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. Its stunning metal body makes you want to keep looking at it. Further, the new model is more comfortable to hold even with one hand because of the soft rounded edges. This is a refreshing change from the sharp-edged plastic body of the earlier models.

The new screen is bigger and sharper too, which is 2 inches with a video resolution of 1280×720. However, the best feature of the new Mino HD is its internal memory capacity. It is now 8 GB, which is two times that of the earlier models. Moreover, you can now watch videos for continuously two hours instead of one hour. After the take-over of Flip by Cisco, certain drastic changes have been made to almost all aspects of the camera. The superior features of the new model are a sure shot sign of the same. The processor runs faster as well.

A new feature is the HDMI port that enables sharing of videos on HD screens. Although this port was there in the earlier models, it was covered with an ugly-looking cap. In the new model, there is a small switch that has to be pressed to remove and replace the cap. Absolutely smart nah! The bad part is that the camera does not come with a HDMI cable. You need to buy the cable separately.

There are certain things have not been taken care of. The lens, sensor and the ‘too sensitive’ touch pads that keep getting activated when accidentally touched, are all exactly the same as those of the earlier version. They are really annoying features. The sensor is good for close up shots that are taken under perfect lighting conditions. However, under low-light conditions, the results are hazy. The camera does not have optical zoom so one cannot take stills.

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. However, for the Flip to survive the intense competition from smart phones and ipod nano that are known for their superb performance, the flaws will have to be taken care of soon.
