Cisco Flip SlideHD Reviewed

[flamaest]

The main recording buttons are now on-the-screen?

This functionality sounds good in a "marketing-babble" world, but I have not seen anyone get the force-feedback-equation right for on screen controls.

I should be able to know what buton I am pushing without looking. This looks like a step in the wrong dirrection.

I say, lose the touch screen to keep the price down and improve the video quality.

Wow, Cisco, what a way to kill your product in a single release cycle.

But this doesn't do HD in 1080p nor does it do AC3 digital sound recording or don't have image stable feature. Price for the flip HD it crazy!

DXG had this one selling HD 1080p with light, 3" touch screen screen over the weekend on HSN for $159 bucks. I already own old DXG cam/web/video etc since 2004. It's okay but still works today. This one I'll past.
