The flip Is not designed to compete with a larger camcorder, like a samsung HMZ20c or Canon HF100, but as a stand – alone fun unit, it scores and With stand -alone fun The Flip is a must for all Youtube aficionados

I previously owned the Flip MinoHD so this review is based on a comparison between the Flip MinoHD and the new Flip UltraHD.
After reading about the Flip UltraHD’s addition of an HDMI output, larger screen, and longer battery life I decided to sell my 4 month old Flip MinoHD and purchase the Flip UltraHD. Since the MinoHD is very sleek and diminutive in size, my first reaction to the UltraHD was that it was quite a bit larger and bulkier to hold, and has taken some time to get used to. However, unless you’ve used a MinoHD the larger size of the UlraHD will probably be less noticeable. I found the camera controls on the UltraHD to be slightly easier to operate vs. the touch sensitive buttons on the MinoHD. As far as video quality between the two, I compared two different videos and both are about the same, however, the colors appear to be slightly more vibrant with the UltraHD.

An update – Amazon sells these for a cheap price and quick delivery. It is now one month since ordering with Expansys and still cannot get confirmation of cancellation.
Have a nice day.

I tried to order the mino HD off expansys – a complete disaster. Ships within five days? Nope. Respond to emails within five days? Nope. Get the delivery charge wrong? Yes!
It is now twenty days since I ordered the mino and four days since I attempted to cancel the order – my order status is still ‘awaiting stock’ (their website says 100 in stock, ships in four days).
Nightmare.
Mr Gadget – please get this product in so we can order it from a reliable source.

Hi, I see everyone wants to know where to buy these in Australia. You can get them online at a few places.

Matt, word on the street has it that Cisco will acquire Flip so here’s to hoping that it will also be accessible via Cisco’s current distribution channels worldwide inc. Oz.

I just found this article about trying to get a Mino HD in Australia, includes a response from Western Digital:

Cheers,
