When you grow older (wiser maybe), and have nothing better to do, you tend to pamper yourself with the latest tech to show that you are not left behind and still manage to catch up with the young chaps around you.
Back in Oct when I was in the Asian Internet Congress in KL, I saw both David Cavanagh (one of the best Australian internet coach who now reside in Pattaya Thailand) and Sean Roach (Sean has been honoured twice by the Mayor of Las Vegas with “Sean Roach Day” (Jan.17th and July 10th) for his commitment in helping people to grow their business, especially on internet marketing) walking around shooting video with this charming and sleeky little video cam- Flip Camcorder. I can’t wait to find out what is this little toy and I went online to search for it. And there you go… www.theflip.com. Flip Camcorder is one of the best pocket camcorders in the market.

Without second thought, I guess it is called love at first sight, I bought one MinoHD 120 Mins with customised image. The image at the back of my camcorder is my dog, Silky. This images shown below is the ‘preview’ of how my camcorder would look like when you upload the photo through theflip.com. You can try it out yourself at theflip.com.
The MinoHD 120 Mins is the 2nd generation of MidoHD. The body is made out of brushed metal rather than plastic, double the memory (8GB of built-in memory allows you to store 2 hours of HD video), and a larger, 2-inch transflective (antiglare) LCD that has a resolution of 960×240 pixels. Another beauty of it is the second-generation MinoHD has a mini HDMI connector that allows you to view your clips on an HDTV–as long as you buy an optional cable.
It is so easy to use. Honestly, you do not need a manual to tell you how to operate the camcorder. And it is handy with few sensor button on the camcorder only.
The conveniences of having this pocket camcorder are:
Pre-loaded FlipShare™ software for instant viewing, editing, one-click emailing, and online sharing:
-Browse, playback, organize and archive your videos
-Create movies with video clips, music and titles
-Edit clips and create still-image snapshots from video
-Instantly upload to Facebook™, MySpace™, YouTube™ and other video sharing sites
-Share your videos privately using attachment-free emails or greetings cards (free and unlimited video sharing)
-Create private Flip Channels to share your videos with groups of family and friends

Yeah it’s an affordable little device to record the moment or the voice-and-scene clips.
Not so keen right now…who knows later i might like the art.
cheers
Great post. I have the Ultra HD and love it. I also like the simple video editing software that comes with the camera. I thought it was a wonderful idea to have the software integrated within the camera so you can edit on any computer.
