This video is about the Flip SlideHD camcorder. The Flip SlideHD camcorder offers 16gb of memory, and 3" diagonal LCD viewing screen, and adds a headphone jack to make this the best camcorder so far for viewing your Flip video.You can get a detailed comparison of the specs that compare the Slide, with the Flip MinoHD, generations 1 and 2, and the Flip UltraHD here, but I think I have covered all the ones you are likely to care about in this review.

If you want to buy the Slide, this link will give you Amazon's best price, and help out our site at the same time:

Flip SlideHD Camcorder, 4 Hours (White) NEWEST VERSION

Overview: The 2nd Generation Flip MinoHD

The Flip UltraHD has an MSRP (at this writing) that is the same as MinoHD 1.0, but with substantially heftier specs. The MinoHD 2.0 is priced about $30 higher than the UltraHD, yet has an internal battery that isn't user replaceable. In this video, we present feature comparisons and trade-offs, and also provide a side-by-side comparison of the video taken by each of these camcorders.

Overview: Flip UltraHD

In June, 2009, Flip Video introduced the Flip UltraHD, with a rechargeable battery, 2 hour video capacity, and tactile controls that resemble the Flip Ultra, but with 720p HD video resembling the Flip MinoHD.

Overview: Flip MinoHD

The Flip Mino-HD is one of the top two or three fastest-selling High Definition camcorders on the market today. Priced at around $200, it's truly a bargain. In this video, we'll present an unboxing ceremony, close up, take you through the full set of controls and connections, and show you how to easily move the video from your camcorder to your computer.

Watching & Sharing your Videos

After you move Flip Mino-HD videos onto your computer, FlipShare gives you a pretty good way to organize and watch your video clips. You can see thumbnails, or miniature snapshots, of your videos in various sizes, and even watch them full-screen in High Definition. If you want to share your videos with friends and family, FlipShare lets you upload videos with email, in a greeting card, or on YouTube, AOL, or MySpace. It's all simple to do, but there is a secret way to get YouTube and other services to show it in High Definition.

Editing with FlipShare

When you have a sequence of clips from your Flip HD camcorder that you want to edit into a movie, FlipShare offers movie editing that is as simple to use as the camcorder itself. 'Simple' is often the same as 'not very powerful,' and although that is the case with FlipShare, we'll show you how to get the most of it.

Using FlipShare 4.5 New Features

FlipShare Version 4.5, released after the 1st generation Flip MinoHD camcorder, introduced a number of new and valuable features. This video tutorial tells you all about those new features and how to use them.
