Pure Digital Flip UltraHD

Hot on the heels of our head-to-head HD pocket camcorder battle, Pure Digital has added another top-notch, high-def model to the mix. In fact, the brand-new Flip UltraHD might be the best HD pocket camcorder of the lot. The $200 Pure Digital Flip UltraHD is a bulkier, AA-battery-powered cousin to the tiny-but-impressive Flip MinoHD. Like its predecessor, the Flip UltraHD records smooth 720p video to MP4 format with the H.264 codec, and it includes FlipShare software for managing and editing clips, as well as uploading them to YouTube. Flipping out the UltraHD’s USB connector and plugging it into a Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X 10.4 and up computer launches FlipShare automatically. – from Washpost

The new Flip UltraHD camcorder is slightly chunkier than its predecessor, and features two hours of recording time and a two-inch, high-resolution screen. It also comes with an AA battery pack that can be recharged through the camera’s built-in USB arm. “Our new Flip UltraHD [makes] it incredibly simple and affordable for anyone to capture and share hours of video in stunning HD,” said Jonathan Kaplan, chairperson and CEO of Pure Digital. – from TGDaily
