The Best Mini Digital Camcorder
You can use a mini digital camcorder to shoot YouTube or blog videos. It is extremely portable–you can carry it in your pocket. And it is easy to use.
Of course, a mini digital camcorder does not deliver a high quality image and sound like a standard digital camcorder. But the mini camcorders are very popular for their compact size and ease of use.
Today in the mini digital camcorder market there are two absolute leaders: the Pure Digital Flip MinoHD and the Zi8 by Kodak.
The main characteristics of Flip MinoHD mini digital camcorder are:
- Original colorful design and pocket-fit size.
- It is really easy to use. It has no additional features, you just press the only button and start recording video. Then, by connecting it to a computer you upload video to Facebook, Myspace and other sharing sites.
- This mini digital camcorder has an internal lithium ion battery, which recharges via built-in USB port.
- It has 8GB of built-in memory, capturing 120 minutes of HD video.
- It offers a 2X digital zoom.
- It shoots video at 720p and 30 frames per second.
- It has a large 2-inch anti-glare display.
The critics note that the best thing about Flip MinoHD mini digital camcorder is that it is really compact and simple to use.
The Zi8, on the other hand, has the following advantages:
- It offers four different video modes, with a maximum resolution of 1080p and shoots 60 frames per second.
- It has a 2.5-inch LCD display.
- Unlike the previous Kodak mini digital camcorder models, which took AA batteries, the Zi8 has an internal rechargeable battery.
- Zi8 has image stabilization, which means that you will get a steady image.
- It offers a 4X digital zoom.
- The Zi8 is not very compact, you can hardly carry it in your pocket. And it has no built-in memory, so you will have to buy SD memory cards.
So, both mini digital camcorder models have some advantages and disadvantages, and it is for you to choose which of them will suit you best.
