Cisco Launches The Flip Slide HD
Since their release of the Flip Ultra HD last year, Cisco is ready to follow up with their latest camcorder. They call it the Flip Slide HD. Like its predecessor, the Flip Slide HD is able to record camera footage at 1280×720 HD. However, it has more storage space with 16GB, which allows you to capture up to four hours of footage before you’ve reached the storage limit.
Furthermore, the main feature offered by this new camcorder is the sliding, three inch transflective touch screen, which utilizes all recording and playback buttons. When using it, you can hold the Flip Slide in the same way as other Flip models and the new version also includes a headphone jack and a three-inch display. The display allows the camera to be more effective in performing playback functions since it is angled up to 45 degrees, resting on a flat surface. When you slide the screen, you will access a touch-sensitive strip which allows for quick and easy scrolling through the videos you’ve made.
The Flip Slide HD has recently been reviewed by Gizmodo and they believe that the touch screen doesn’t meet its full potential, especially with its considerable size and mass. The new camcorder could also be a strain on the wallet since it’s priced at $279.99. Time will tell whether or not this latest addition to the Flip series will be worth the investment.
