Thanks
Best Buy, we owe you (another) one. Yet
again, the big box retailer everyone loves to hate has provided the world with a glimpse of a heretofore unannounced product, and this one's got our mouths all kinds of damp. Barely a month after Cisco picked up Pure Digital for
a small fortune, the Flip Video Ultra HD -- which seems to be the natural successor to the
standard Ultra -- has already begun to hit select store shelves in America. Notable niceties include an HDMI output, 120 minutes of record time (up from 60 minutes), a removable / rechargeable battery and support for AA cells in a pinch. We're still waiting for the full rundown of specifications (and the price, too), but feel free to tap the read link for a stellar unboxing in the meanwhile.
Update: Looks like it's going for $199.99. Thanks Matthies!

interesting. i would love to see an up to date comparison of the options we have for pocket hd cameras. i'm on a budget and looking to get one (again after my kodak zi6 got stolen) but i also would be willing to pay extra to a certain point on a non-pocket camera if the quality is that much better. anyone have any suggestions?

You can look at my edited and slightly compressed MinoHD videos at vimeo.com/bpw. For a $200 camera, it's packed full of awesome.

They can fit removable batteries in there, how about removable media?

Hell yes. This is just what I want. For those of us who can't afford something insane like a RED camera because we're poor college students, but still want to catch our friends in HD-quality doing stupid things while they're drunk.

Easier to sneak into the bedroom than a full camcorder!

I wonder how this compares to the Vado HD? Looks pretty cool!
