Flip Video Ultra HD makes its unofficial debut, gets unboxed

Thanks Best Buy, we owe you (another) one. Yet again, the big box retailer everyone loves to hate has provided the world with a glimpse of a heretofore unannounced product, and this one's got our mouths all kinds of damp. Barely a month after Cisco picked up Pure Digital for a small fortune, the Flip Video Ultra HD -- which seems to be the natural successor to the standard Ultra -- has already begun to hit select store shelves in America. Notable niceties include an HDMI output, 120 minutes of record time (up from 60 minutes), a removable / rechargeable battery and support for AA cells in a pinch. We're still waiting for the full rundown of specifications (and the price, too), but feel free to tap the read link for a stellar unboxing in the meanwhile.

Update: Looks like it's going for $199.99. Thanks Matthies!

interesting. i would love to see an up to date comparison of the options we have for pocket hd cameras. i'm on a budget and looking to get one (again after my kodak zi6 got stolen) but i also would be willing to pay extra to a certain point on a non-pocket camera if the quality is that much better. anyone have any suggestions?

You can look at my edited and slightly compressed MinoHD videos at vimeo.com/bpw. For a $200 camera, it's packed full of awesome.

They can fit removable batteries in there, how about removable media?

Hell yes. This is just what I want. For those of us who can't afford something insane like a RED camera because we're poor college students, but still want to catch our friends in HD-quality doing stupid things while they're drunk.

Easier to sneak into the bedroom than a full camcorder!

I wonder how this compares to the Vado HD? Looks pretty cool!
