Jason, it would be good to hear how this camera has done for you, now that it’s been a couple of weeks. How did it do on the London trip?

I was checking it out this morning, want one as well! PS: NEVER TRUST THE RETAIL INDUSTRY!

Hi, found you through Meagan’s new shiny site!

Anyway, have you heard about comparison between the Flip HD Camera(s) and the Kodak Zi6?

I am debating on whether one would have better quality?

[...] you can see, you get HD video quality and great sound for only $200. You can read a simple review and check a few photos from Jason Hawkins, a guy who knows his stuff when it comes to video and [...]

@couch I know, not even two weeks later too. Thanks though. I’m pumped.

@erik The Xacti looks pretty cool, and they seem to be pretty popular. I went with the Flip originally because everything was self-contained — no batteries, no memory cards, no wires — and really, no features was it’s biggest feature. Since it’s not something I’m going to use for serious video work I wanted it to be as simple as possible. I’m also going to use it as my baseline for consumer cameras in the future as I continue with the screencast series. Of course, a waterproof camera pretty much trumps everything in coolness. I’d love to be able to throw in a few underwater shots in my home videos.

@jermaine That looks neat too. Have you put up any video from it yet? I’d be interested to see how it looks. I’m sure I’ll post clips from the Flip in the next week or so. Maybe it’ll be enough for you to go ahead with your little clandestine gadget-sneaking operation. Good lucky, buddy.

I’m really looking forward to see how the videos come out. I picked up a JVC MS120 not to long ago. While it’s not HD capable, it will work for now. Maybe I can sneak one of these in the house at some point.

I've played with the Mino, but not the HD one. Though I think the (Mino) is nice, I still wouldn't trade it for my Sanyo Xacti. Have you looked at either of these? The waterproof version, which I take to Africa. The HD version (not waterproof).

Bah, jealous. And I just missed being up there to play with it… Either way, have a blast in London, and I expect a load of video.
