How is this compared to the Flip UltraHD?

I haven't had very good luck with either. The last Flip camera I owned stopped working for no apparent reason and the Sony Bloggies tend to shut down in the middle of recording. I purchased about 10 of these last year and have used all of them. This seems to be a problem with all 10 of them. I wouldn't really recommend either product to tell you the truth.

Purchased two Flip's and returned both as neither would charge. Have used Bloggie for 4 monthsand am very satisfied. Only small problem is a bit of distortion when using zoom feature. Perhapsit will improve with more use.it will improve with more use

I switched to the Bloggie because the FLIP was no longer serviceable/available, and have been equally satisfied.

The Sony Bloggie Touch blows the Flip away. The quality of the Sony is far superior. I bought one for my Father-In-Law and one for my wife. My wife had a Flip, so I am speaking from hands on experience. Neither one of the Sony units has given us one bit of problems. Don't know why the other person went through ten of them. I tend to think "user error". I'd get one for myself if I didn't already have a larger hand held Canon that cost me like $600.

I upgraded to the 4000nex from the earlier 5500bhs. They both have resistive displays but the difference is absolutely night and day. In my opinion responsiveness is more about CPU speed than the technology of the display itself. It doesn't scroll as fluidly and effortlessly as an iPad's capacitive display, but it is terribly impressive compared to what I've seen before.

That's a helpful post, Tyrone, thanks. My FlipHD has horrible battery life on the rechargeable batteries, but I've yet to try regular alkaline AAs. Will do that and see if that helps things.

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.

David, I have two Flip UltraHD 120 Black Video Cameras. The best quality comes with good lighting. Indoor lighting is not always ideal unless you have a lot of light. From my experience, the absolute best HD Quality Videos come from Outdoor lighting on sunny days. Even then, I've managed to pull of some spectacular night shots, and dark lighting shots (bars, restaurants, parking lots, outdoor). Zooming in will degrade the video quality, somewhat. Try to get close to your objects and avoid zooming if possible.

My first Flip was not the Ultra, and the microphone was in the back. The Flip Ultra, that I bought next, has the microphone in the front, and it's amazing what great sound it picks up. However, if you're narrating with the Flip Ultra, remember to talk louder or you'll have to increase the sound later using Windows Movie Maker. Also, I liked the smaller count down numbers on the Flip Ultra when it's plugged into a TV or DVD recorder. The original Flip had LARGE lime green numbers counting down the seconds as it played, but only on your TV or DVD recorder, (or VHS recorder) not on your computer.

No it's not. Anyway, i think it is too heavy to give it a "tablet" use. If thats what you are looking for, stick with vaio flip, i have one also, and it is a lot lighter and faster, because of the ssd derive.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking I might wait and see how much the T240HD is when it gets released now, since it will have the actual resolution to display 1080p.

The model I have is Ultra HD and the flip video power adapter works with mine if you have the usb flip out to attach to a usb plug in then yes it will work.

Hi,I have seen the many difference and also the build quality is way different then SQ model. Also UQ is certified THX . So its better in many ways. For info you can listen to conference of Sharp on Youtube.Note - On Friday I got this TV and I am still analyzing the functionality. Will update my review soon.ThanksAbhin

I only see the TH-42PZ8OU for $1100 at Sears - maybe it's different in the store itself.I went all out and got the 46' 1080p plasma for $1050 on Amazon last week. Now THAT was a good deal.

The only thing you'll gain with the Plasma is better viewing angles - and much higher electric bills. This DLP gives noticeably better blacks than that Samsung plasma This DLP gives a noticeably bigger picture This DLP gives comparable color, sharpness and overall PQ as the Plasma This DLP is cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run. This DLP displays a brighter picture. - You already have a great TV, so stop stressing. The absolute only logical reasons to get the plasma is if you intend to throw huge Wii gaming parties or if you're running a bar requiring the viewing angle advantage. Or if you need to wall mount. Otherwise stick with and enjoy this DLP. The only plasmas worth consideration over this 67a750 is the Pioneer 6020/elite and 'possibly' the Panasonic 58" 800/850u. Other plasmas aren't worth comparing to this DLP.

The Flip Ultra HD and probably al other Flips work great with a Mac. I have used a simple 2008 MacBook, iMovie and iDVD to make my first tiny film and the results are stunning.

Bill, Only because you asked, I tried four different screens -- a 42" plasma flatscreen, a 42" lcd flatscreen, a regular old-style TV and an lcd computer monitor. The old-style TV, I wasn't surprised, was "grainy," to use an old-fashioned term. The plasma was disappointing. The particular model I own didn't allow me to shrink the video to its natural size, so the picture was blown up edge to edge and that caused the picture to degrade. (DVDs on that TV are great, by the way.) Your plasma might operate differently and therefore, offer better results. The lcd TV allowed viewing the videos at natural (large) size, best quality of all, although even full size it looked great. And the computer monitor was great, too. If your potential gift recipient is a casual videographer as most of us are, they won't be disappointed. Fancy themselves as the next Baz Luhrmann and the Flip will promptly find itself on the return pile. I will post these results to the review I already made in case it's of interest to others. Good luck, Bill!

It appears that the mino HD is a newer, upgraded version of the ultra Hd. Originally the mino did not have the sound quality or storage capacity of the ultra. I am rather confused by this apparent upgrade, because the flip was supposedly out of production and all warranties were supposed to cease as of 2013. I would go online and check the reviews. I have had my flip now for 2 years, we recently changed batteries. My daughter uses it daily for her you tube videos and loves it.
