Top recommendation for Christmas!
This is the Flip MinoHD Camcorder 2nd Generation. I own the 1st Gen and it is a great device. This new version has a couple of upgrades, mainly better in low light than the original (which was already good). In addition, the MinoHD 2nd Gen has doubled the storage capacity! A great $220+ gift.

This cam is awesome! The only negative i encountered is the zoom button. Placement is awkward and using it tends to cause the camera to shake a bit reaching for it but im getting used to it. I feel that these controls should be managed with your thumb which would make it more convenient and less shake performing zoom functions.

Low light is sufficient. (set on automatic) I had one fixture on in my kitchen and there was some graininess on the XP+ setting (LP, SP, XP+, FXP & MXP). Not a major concern since I do not plan on shooting without any light source. This cam does have an onboard video flash which I will test in dark and post results later.

MXP Mode:

Playback in MXP is absolutely impossible on my laptop.

Upload to Motionbox and playback is great! Although, expected, upload is slower than I would like. Time to look at Optimum Ultra (boost 5Mbps up / Ultra 15Mbps up)

Playback on TV AWESOME!

Have not used the incl software to edit yet (downloaded trial of Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD)
