Flip UltraHD Camcorder Review
Let me start by saying, unlike the other reviewers, I am so far quite happy with my recent purchase. This is handy device at a low price with great video quality. Yes, it’s not terrific in low light and you need a steady hand when recording, but for the price you’re not going to match the quality and convenience (you have to keep your expectations realistic). You can charge it and take it anywhere, keep a couple AA’s as a backup and not miss a thing – everything I hoped it would do.

This is a great little product. I’ve only used video cams on my cell phone or digital camera so this is a nice upgrade for a casual user. What surprised me is that according to the package the minimum system requirement in terms of a PC processor is a screaming fast 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4. I couldn’t find this anywhere on Amazon’s product page. Had I known this it would have probably prevented me from ordering this. However, I didn’t have trouble using it with my 1.8 GHz 2 year old PC although I have 4 GB ram and a newer high end video card. The only glitch I’ve found so far is that I could NOT play videos in full screen mode. Just a little caveat- if you have an older computer this little device may give your PC a hiccup.

I previously owned the Flip MinoHD so this review is based on a comparison between the Flip MinoHD and the new Flip UltraHD. After reading about the Flip UltraHD’s addition of an HDMI output, larger screen, and longer battery life I decided to sell my 4 month old Flip MinoHD and purchase the Flip UltraHD. Since the MinoHD is very sleek and diminutive in size, my first reaction to the UltraHD was that it was quite a bit larger and bulkier to hold, and has taken some time to get used to. However, unless you’ve used a MinoHD the larger size of the UlraHD will probably be less noticeable. I found the camera controls on the UltraHD to be slightly easier to operate vs. the touch sensitive buttons on the MinoHD. As far as video quality between the two, I compared two different videos and both are about the same, however, the colors appear to be slightly more vibrant with the UltraHD. If you are trying to decide which one to purchase, if maximum portability is important to you than the MinoHD is the better choice. Otherwise, if you’re looking compact camcorder with more features (HDMI output, replaceable batteries, longer record time) then you can’t go wrong with the UltraHD. My ultimate wish is for Pure Digital/Cisco to introduce a MinoHD with all of same functionality as the UltraHD. Until then, the UltraHD is the all-around better choice.
