Showing posts with label mino. Show all posts
So now comes the first ever video I made out of the FLIP! It was nice to know it was able to capture images in that dark club. It needed lighting obviously but it wouldn't be a bar if it weren't gonna show anything dark and with lights like that. It did show one thing, the real ambiance of the situation there. I can still see people in the dark and when light hits them they do appear very clear. Was it worth to go all the way with MINO on video recording needs?! Yes, I'll tell you why.
The software embedded inside the unit that installs automatically and updates itself is phenomenal. It cuts down any clip that the mino takes. Probably would be able to cut any other mp4 data too. That would mean that mediocre people like me who could not edit videos using windows movie maker before can simply do that with it. There is also an option to go full clip or have it magically transitioned by the software' magic clip. You can customize sound via three source options, it even has the option for stock music which it probably gave away for free. The application does not eat that much memory while runnning. It counts to about 2000+ which is pretty low considering I was moving 11 clips. All of which are okay while haviing threats but it stood up for memory requirement. I can even play it in small sections so I know what I am editing. Good gadget and great software that came with it. :)

First Mino Video and the Software
It's good news! I just got this from the mail. It was one gadget that I truly wanted to have and now it is in my hands!
It looks promising though but I haven't really tried the software yet. The navigation is pretty simple and probably built for dummies. It has a power button on the right side, a big red button on the center and 4 buttons on its side signifying Play/Pause, left, right, and delete. The Flip Mino has its charging capability dependent on the USB which upon a click on its retracting mechanical switch will pop up. I like the ease of use because it basically functions as a camera saving its movies into a USB stick which you can use later on with the software that uploads all of the clips and makes them into movies too. Since I got the one that doesn't have HD capability it makes a decent video. I wouldn't want to complain because this was just given to me and by golly I love it! I can't wait to experiment with it tonight in low light clubs!

Well it looks like there is a new one that would want to battle out the cheaper camcorder market and it is called the SONY BLOGGIE. This was definitely intended for bloggers like us hence the name... but unfortunately it has not been doing well with reviews. It is small and compact but if you think about it they forgot one thing that is a must for any camcorder; the ability to zoom. The lack of optical zoom disables the flexibility of this camcorder to focus on certain parts of a frame. There are also problems regarding its zoom capability as reported and if you do compare its performance with the FLIP MINO or FLIP ULTRA HD the only advantage is the pixels. Aside from that, this is very poorly performing in all its features. I would probably not go for this since it does a bad job in low light conditions too which I specifically pointed out that I need hence the rooting for the FLIP Ultra HD. With the FLIP powered by 2 AA batteries and this one only succumbing to its own one, it would be hard to source batteries of it from here. The price difference is huge but I would still go with the FLIP. Sorry SONY better luck next time!
