flip mino hd camera

[joe.f]

hi guys,
Has anyone had any experience with the flip mino hd camera? It's really cheap ($215 AUD) and i was thinking of getting one, but the price seems too good to be true for an hd camera so I thought i'd ask here first.
thanks,
joe

A review at IT Reviews commented that the MinoHD is a "healthy evolution of a popular product, but like its predecessors it can suffer from being a bit too simplistic and omitting some key features that may still be helpful for beginners." The review concludes: "As pocket camcorders go though, it's an impressive device."[4]
The Flip Video MinoHD was the number one in "best budget camcorder" in Cnet's Editors' top camcorder choices.[5] CamcorderInfo.com listed the Flip Mino as its "Best Budget Camcorder" and "Most Innovative Camcorder" in 2008.[6]

It really depends on your budget and needs, just like every other purchase.
