Another for the Kodak Zi6 - got mine on sale at Target. The Mino, Ultra Mino and others were comparatively priced.
I had done my research before and was leaning toward either the Creative Vado or Zi6. Couldn't locate the Creative Vado for local evaluation & purchase. Checked out review videos on YouTube and CNet. I just didn't care for the video of the Flips. Still I was going back and forth. It came down to touch. I don't care for the toggle on the Zi6 but it wasn't a deal breaker. The Flips were not comfortable in my hand. I like using SD cards and rechargeable AA batteries. For day to day travel it is more than what I need. For longer events I bring my JVC Hard drive camcorder. Love that HD Macro mode. Silly to shoot in HD at the moment but it does look nice. http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com/2009/06/shaking-out-kodak-zi6-pocket-video.html Gena --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Julian Seery Gude" <jul...@...> wrote: > > I'd love your take on the best cheap Mini HD camcorder. > > Here are the contenders as far as I can tell (please add on your fave if you > prefer it over these) > > - Flip Ultra HD > - Flip Mino HD > - Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 > - Kodak Zi6 > > I admit I like the pistol grip form factor of the Xacti and prefer both the > Kodak/Xacti because you can use your own memory card.
