The Flip Mino Is An Easy To Use And Highly Portable Product.

Advantages: Versatile, ease of use, and nicely priced.
Disadvantages: I haven't come across one yet!

Hi there! I am the proud owner of a Flip Mino. I have had it for about 6 months now and continue to be amazed by how well it fits in with my daily life. I recieved it as a Christmas present and have used it probably 2 to 3 times a day since. I can personally attest to the fact that this product is a wonderful gift for all ages. Anyone from a five year old to someone upwards of 60 can plug it into the computer with its handy flip out usb connector ...
...and emailing movies in minutes. It is perfect for children who are fascinated by everything and who will produce heart warming clips that they and there parents can cherish for years to come, to teens who want to record their bands newest hit or a message to their sweetheart, to adults who can take down notes or record important information that could otherwise be forgotten or missed. The Flip comes with a handy wrist cord so you don't have to be ...

Review of Pure Digital Flip Mino

A great step up from a mobile phone but lacks serious use.

Advantages: Small discreet and portable
Disadvantages: Lacks features for serious users.

The future of small, lightweight and discreet recording has arrived. The ‘Flip’ measures just 4.17” x 2.16” x 1.25” and weighs in at a 4.9 ounces featherweight. There is little style to the product but then who needs it when it operates so effectively for such an incredible price. The structure is very simple with the front casing a fixed focus lens and a built in microphone. The back has a basic user interface that is a simple point and click design. ...
...files at 30 frames per second with a resolution of 640 x 480. The battery life is an impressive 2.5 hours. A 1.5 inch TFT Screen and speaker provides the view and play back facility. The 2GB internal memory gives about 60 mins of recording and the quality is only reasonable and you get what you pay for. With only a 2 x digital zoom and no lighting, the Flip Ultra has definite limitations. Why would you buy this video camera? If your plan is to ...

Review of Pure Digital Flip Ultra F260

A nice little camera, nice and compact and useful. But....

Advantages: Great small compact camera providing incredibly good visuals.
Disadvantages: No viewfinder.

The Toshiba Camileo P10 is an excellent substitute for both digital camera and camcorder. The controls are tricky, but once mastered it is extremely easy to use for stills or video. Capacity is excellent. With an 8GB SDHC card it will store over 2 1/2 hours of video at the WVGA setting, or store 3400 photos at the standard (5MP) setting. The WVGA setting uses 60 f/s making fast action smoother on playback. The HD settings are okay, although i feel ...
...rechargeable lithium battery seems to last for over an hour, but a spare one is very useful The only thing i dont like, is that it doesnt have a real viewfinder. Why do camera manufacturers never include these anymore? Its practically impossible to view the screen if the sun is bright, and thats essentially the only way to control the cameras features. Good camera for sure, especially for the money. ...

Review of Toshiba Camileo P10

A Perfect DVD Handy Cam

Advantages: Lightweight, Small, Perfect
Disadvantages: None

This mini dvd cam is probably one of the best presents I have ever been bought. Perfectly light weight with a great battery life and amazing quality recording straight to a mini dvd. records to DVD-Ram, DVD-R and DVD-RW, so whatever type of dvd player or computer you use, the discs will be compatible. Has a 30x optical zoom, so can get all the best shots, no matter where you are, and has a flip out lcd screen which turns all the way round and can ...
...out to the side depending on where you are shooting from. Even allows self videoing with full view of yourself. Battery usually lasts me around 3 and half hours, and mini dvds can be bought in all different time amounts for this camera. never had any problems with this camera, and it was supplied with A USB cable, Battery Charger, TV Connecter Cable (AV I think!) Battery and a Charger cable to enable charging whilst filming. I recommend this to all, ...

Review of Panasonic VDR D160

Even I can use this! Great quality film and big hard drive.

Advantages: 20 hr hard drive & expandable flash, good zoom, great ergonomics, very small, light and tough
Disadvantages: screen a little bit fiddly, very poor stills,

My husband and I bought this video camera after our first daughter was born when we were baffled by the variety of cameras on offer. We needed something that we could actually pick up and use quickly to capture first steps etc. I must say that we were not dissapointed. The camera is very easy to use with great ergonomics that put the controls at your fingertips, it's also very light. It's so small you can slip inside a coat pocket easily enough! ...
...fo fairly regular filming and has never let us down. The downsides are that the touch screen menu is a bit fussy. You need to be very precise when selecting options. And the still photo quality is very poor so I would not recommend this if you want both photo and film. The menus are easy to follow and set up is quite simple. The hard disk suits us as it means the camera is smaller and you can use it out of the box with the Playstation 3 and we ...
