Flip UltraHD

Shoots 720p HD video; high-quality video for its class; easy to use; uses rechargeable AA batteries; FlipShare software compatible with both Mac and Windows machines.

Somewhat pricey; no memory card slot; no cable included for HD output to HDTVs.

The Flip Video UltraHD may not be the sexiest mini camcorder out there, but it offers a respectable feature set and some of the best video we've seen from this type of cheap, YouTube-friendly camcorder.

light, small, cheap, takes great videos even if fairly low lighting levels exist...much better than some more expensive cameras...

works without a problem for years...now freezes up now and again...works ok for a while after being reset by battery removal for a couple of days or longer...still takes great videos for up to 2 hours if memory is dumped to your computer regularly...
