Review Summary 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. With the Zi8, Kodak finally surpasses Flip Video's video quality and feature set. Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.
