2nd-Gen Flip MinoHD camcorder shipping
on October 14, 2009
The second generation Flip MinoHD camcorder from Pure Digital Technologies started shipping this week. The tiny HD video camera stores 120 minutes of 1280×720 resolution video on 8 GB of built-in memory, requiring no additional memory.
Video is recorded at 30 frames-per-second (progressive scan) at an average bitrate of 9.0Mbps. Video compression is H.264, audio compression AAC, and output format is MP4.
The MinoHD has a large 2-inch (diagonal) LCD display — especially large considering the width of the MinoHD is just 2″. Resolution on the display is 960×240.
Lens type is a fixed focus f/2.4 (0.8m to infinity). The wide aperture helps in low-light situations, along with the camera’s 1/4.5″ HD CMOS Sensor. A 2x digital zoom allows you get a bit closer to your subject.
Battery life is rated at up to 2 hours with the internal Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery.
Additional things to mention are the built-in speaker, wide-range stereo microphone, HDMI out, and tripod mount.
The second-generation Flip MinoHD retails for $229 and is available at Amazon.com, TheFlip.com and other retailers.
