Review: Flip MinoHD

The MinoHD is similar in form to its predecessor, the Flip Mino, but it records at a resolution of 1280 x 720 instead of VGA 640 x 480. To cope with this, there's 4GB of storage space, which equates to an hour of recording time. In terms of performance, the MinoHD pleased rather than blew us away. Its one-touch operation is foolproof, but the 1.5in LCD screen is far too small. Performance in good lighting conditions is pretty decent and although there's no image stabilisation, the footage is serviceable. However, videos shot in low lighting conditions were surprisingly good. In this respect, the MinoHD compares favourably to its rivals. You'll find some sample footage on this month's SuperDisc. The bundled software offers seamless uploading to YouTube – ideal for amateur filmmakers – and the handy flip-out USB connection enables you to shoot footage and view it seconds later. It's a real shame, however, there's no HDMI-out on this model.Related LinksTechRadar's Reviews GuaranteeRead more camcorder reviewsRelated StoriesReview: Sanyo VPC-HD2000Review: Toshiba Camileo S10Review: Panasonic HDC-TM10Review: Genius HD520Review: Panasonic HDC-SD10
