Review Summary Flip Video has made some modest improvements to the original Ultra--but it's only worth buying at a reasonable discount off its list price. 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. While it has its flaws and is a bit expensive, the ultrasimple Flip Video MinoHD produces impressive video for a camcorder of its size. With improved video quality, a slightly trimmer design, and upgraded software package, the Flip Video Ultra is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the emerging low-end digital camcorder category.
