I bought this because of the convenient size and because of the HD resolution (720p).
Pro’s
. The camera turns on very quickly so is handy for those spure of the moment shots.
. It comes with a built in USB connector, and its software is on the device itself (so you can use it anywhere without having to worry about leads or CD’s.
. It easily fits in your pocket, and comes with a thin fabric slip cover (the sort you get with sunglasses) so its something you could conceivably carry round.
Cons’
. The video quality is quite poor for a “HD” device. Yes you get the correct resolution, but you also get with it a fair amount of pixel noise. I bought Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 ultra, to try to fix some of the noise, but you can never really get rid of it.
. It doesn’t cope particularly well in low light conditions, the noise gets noticeably worse.
. Memory isn’t expandable and the battery isn’t replaceable, neither of these were really issues for me, but it might put others off.
. Only digital zoom (so it might as well have no zoom)
In short if you have a mobile phone that records video, this gadget really isn’t for you, as the quality really isn’t much better. With its rather poor quality, it won’t be long until devices like this disappear in favour of newer mobiles, I wish i’d stuck with my mobile, but the idea of playing something on my HD tv appealed to me.
The Amazon service was brilliant as usual.

The best thing about this product is you will actually use it. The traditional video cameras are simply to much hassle to carry about, this little thing is as small as your phone and even easier to use!
Get one now if you regret not carrying your big cam corder everywhere you go, the footage and sound is very good, only real issue is the lack of decent zoom.

Great for getting that quick shot and so easy to use. The size and convenience make it easy to carry on you all the time, unlike a normal camcorder. The zoom could be better but then if you want all the bells and whistles this may not be for you. The clarity is amazing. The software which comes with it was easy to use. I can’t believe how much I use it – I know I wouldn’t use a camcorder this much as I never take it out with me. No bigger than a Nokia phone, it just plugs and plays.

Very stylish. Very compact. Very easy to use. Bought the Flip Mino HD as a Christmas present for my partner, who fell in love with a similar product in use by her daughter when she visited us last summer from the USA – but she thinks the Flip MIno HD is even neater. Very impressed.

It is so easy and simple, very quick download to my apple computer, easy to create without any complaints.
Very useful in pocket if anything so memorise important events. Also it help me a lot to video myself while i am teaching class so I can able to assessment myself and find a mistake.
totally A*
