A Great Comparison of Mini HD Camcorders

I’ve seen a lot of youth workers talking about mini HD camcorders in the blogosphere and on Twitter lately.  These cameras (HD or not) have so many applications from a youth ministry perspective that it’d be hard to outline them all.  From video podcasts to youth group announcements, the small size and usability of the devices for these things trumps your average camcorder in seconds.  The Flip MinoHD seems to being getting the most attention out of them all.  In an effort to see if this attention is warranted, I did little  research.  While the majority of my research was limited to Amazon.com user ratings and reviews, nothing proved to me which mini HD model was the best. It took me venturing out to Vimeo before I found something truly valuable to help me compare two models. The video below puts video from the Flip MinoHD side-by-side with video from the Kodak Zi6 Mini HD camcorder, with sound.  Watch, listen and enjoy.

Based on this video, I don’t believe the winner is the MinoHD.  The sound and color on the Zi6 is much better.  I’m still waiting to see a side-by-side comparison of the VadoHD with the Zi6 before I make my final decision on which I think is best.
