Flip Camcorder

sogs

hi

Can anyone tell me what is the most upto date Flip camcorder? my son is looking for one and I have searched the internet and there seems to be so many different types I am looking for about an 8gb with 120mins recording? any advice welcome.

thanks

The latest one is not necessarily the best. Just get the most highly rated one with the best customer reviews and selling rates.

I would definitely recommend the Ultra HD series (2nd or 3rd generation) and 8GB would fit your requirements.

If possible get the 3 generation as these operate at 60 frames per sec and apparently reasonable anti shake

Check the HM-TA1, Panasonic's take on the pocket internet camcorder.

It's HD, highly rated and only around £75.

And there are several other makes in the pipeline.

As above , there are other makes available as good or better than the flip.
I ,personally, like the idea of rechargable AA batteries -easily sourced, even if non-rechargable - and SD card memory .What good is built in 8GB memory and a built-in lithium battery on a weeks hols ?
Image stabilisation seems to be the newest feature but don't know if it works on pocket cams yet.
The ability to take reasonable/any still photos is a very useful feature.

I've been looking a while for a pocket HD capable camera...not so keen on the flip mailny because of what others said with recharge batt & inbuilt memory

I settled on a kodak one...and with my various needs its never let me down so far!
