Hi:

I am searching for a cheap HD camcoder to do some test with popvideo. Given that I will be using for shooting indoor, dunno if one of those Mini could the work.

TIA

:cool:

If you are looking at the Flip MinoHD, I've read good things about those. I was thinking about getting one myself.

My hubby just got a Flip for his birthday and I love it! I shot this with it just over a week ago:

Hi:

Yes a mean Flip HD cameras. Brand recommendations and buying advise are welcome.

Thanks.

:)

You mean, apart from definitely buy one? LOL

I think the one we got as a present cost around $250. With about 2 hours of storage, it does quite well for our purposes. If we use it for live-action film shooting, I expect we'll have to travel with a laptop to transfer media. Zoom function is fairly limited, and I haven't really gotten familiar with the settings, so I don't know what options we have regarding focus. But it's a great, clear picture, as long as you have enough light.

It will take regular AA batteries, but I recommend getting at least one rechargeable. It recharges right off the USB connection.

Hi:

Well, I can't resist and purchased a Flip HD. It cost me $173 at Amzon including two day shipping which is a good price. Will see how it works.

:)

Mino HD is prety good, but I'm thinking of getting the Sanyo Xacti myself as it seems to have a LITTLE more features, plus it records in stereo sound which I like.

...ok that's my two cents.

The Sanyo Xacti seems to be a pretty good deal. I like the idea of stereo sound.  It also has a rechargeable battery included.  It seems there are several models and form factors. I was looking at this one: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Sanyo+Xacti&oe=UTF-8&cid=15004058870394417951&sa=title&os=tech-specs, which can be had for $148.

I don't remember the BK part, but yes that is a good price and the zoom is really good too... and not like those cell phone cameras that just pixelate everything.

I really am thinking of getting one of these.

Hi:

That 5x Optical Zoom is among the largest for this type of camera. Yes seems the Sanyo have various additional features. I decided for the Flip Ultra HD because the internal 8GB (no need to buy a card), it includes stereo sound, batteries recharge through USB, HDMI port, and price at Amazon --which was about $25 lower than the price at flip itself. The Zoom is very limited (2x) tou.

Besides that this is my first experience with this type of device. HD cameras are still expensive and I think what I need at this time could be done with this. Probably next generations will include a better zoom among other options.

Good to see that I was not the only one looking for this type of camera.
