Mini Digital Camcorders - Ever Increasing Competition

Mini digital camcorders have grown in popularity over recent years. After the success and popularity of the Flip video other manufacturers soon followed suit, some with more success than others.

By their continued offering of new models with enhanced features, better quality imagery and top quality design, Flip have maintained their position at the top of the mini digital camcorders market. In saying that, the consumer electronics market is volatile and if you don't remain innovative and fresh, your position in the market can rapidly change. I've put together a review of 3 of the latest models of mini digital camcorders.

First up is the new 'premium' edition of the Mino HD, which Flip has entitled 'Second Generation'. The main distinction between this and its forerunner is the upgrade to the casing, now a brushed metal, it's much higher end looking than the earlier models plastic casing. The internal memory space has been doubled to 8GB allowing 2 hours of HD video to be stored and the LCD screen is larger with an anti glare coating. If you purchase the optional cable, it's possible to watch your video on an HDTV.

Kodaks newest offering in the mini digital camcorders market is the Zi8. In my opinion, not as good as the Mino HD it does hold its own very well with many of its features like the electronic image stabilizer, the 2.5 inch LCD screen and support to allow an external mic. Lighter and thinner than its predecessor the Zi6 it is relatively compact weighing only 4.8 oz. This mini digital camcorder can be found for well under $200 if you shop around and for the price it presents a fair quality of filming quality.

With their debut into the mini digital camcorders market, JVC have launched the Picsio GC-FM1. While it has an appealing design and a decent two inch LCD screen, it falls down in its controls which lack the standard of the a fore mentioned mini digital camcorders. Due to their size they are not easy to operate and hence you are not sure if or what function you have selected. Nonetheless it produces a moderate quality of video clip but still doesn't match the Kodak and Flip in other areas.

In conclusion, if you are doing your homework on true mini digital camcorders, you would have to choose either Flip Mino HD or the slightly more bulky Kodak Zi8. It really comes down to features and price at the end of the day, do some research, consider what you will be using the camcorder for and your budget, shop around and make comparisons, online stores like Amazon and eBay often have some amazing deals in this competitive market.
