it produces high quality dvds and blu-ray discs, and it outputs hd directly to my 1080p hd television through component and hdmi connections (the camera only outputs and records up to 1080i though).
whether played directly on an hd television, using a mini-hdmi to hdmi cable (like this one that i have), or converted for editing using roxio toast 10 titanium or final cut express 4 (for mac
playback via hdmi from camers is stunning.
location of hdmi, etc.
what should have been in the box and is not: a mini hdmi to hdmi cable.
record, connect it to your usb, and load it up onto your computer or plug an hdmi cable directly into it and connect it to your tv.
the only downside is that if you want to connect it to your tv via the hdmi plug.
pros: hd quality, small, easy-to-use, price, hdmi out cons: no optical zoom, fixed memory, can't change resolution the bottom line: awesome little hd camcorder, good value and fun product!
* it only has mini hdmi video output port.
after reading about the flip ultrahd's addition of an hdmi output, larger screen, and longer battery life i decided to sell my 4 month old flip minohd and purchase the flip ultrahd.
you can play it back through your hdtv via the component cables it comes with, or through a hdmi cable you can purchase here at amazon.
my only complaints are not about the camcorder but about canon, send us a mini hdmi cable to go with the camera and develop better editing software.
what's great about it:?user friendly controls, easy to use, perfect size, great image quality, attractive, nice design,reliable what's not so great:?wind filter does not do a good job, battery life
the only things i could complain about is battery life, no hdmi cable and the software.
what's great about it:?picture quality is fantastic, menu system is intuitive, image stabilization is impressive what's not so great:?low light shooting, stock battery life, no hdmi cable included
easy to connect via hdmi-mini from monoprice.
its quality can be truly appreciated when viewed on a large screen hi-def television through a hdmi connection.
1.) doesn't come with an hdmi cable.
one reason this became important to me is i have a 1st generation hdtv without an hdmi input.
hdmi cable not included
then i hooked it up to my hdtv for playback - and discovered there is no hdmi cable included.
my only real complaints are the lack of an hdmi cable and the fact it has a mini hdmi cable slot instead of a full size hdmi cable.
for the next test i connected the camcorder via a iogear series 2000 mini-hdmi to hdmi cable, which is not supplied, to my hdtv and playback was perfect.
* lack of hdmi cable - this was a huge surprise and disappointment.
would have been nice to include a hdmi so i would not have to buy one.
the only criticism is the nickel and dime approach to accessories that should be included with an $1,100 msrp camera -- the special mini-hdmi to hdmi cable and wider angle lens...
the package contains all possible cables but not the ultra compact hdmi cable connection.
i am sure an hdmi cable will increase the viewing quality but i have not bought one yet.
you'll need to buy a mini-hdmi cable to get it to your new flat-screen tv, but with that cable the playback was glorious.
we have a $30 video capture card that does the trick, but obviously quality isn't hd, nor would hdmi be even capable of streaming.
-may want to purchase an mini-hdmi to hdmi cable for instant viewing on your hdtv.
+ hdmi support
no hdmi mini cable
no hdmi cable supplied.
using hdmi out port or the component out port to a 1080p flat screen monitor provided surprisingly beautiful hd video to the screen with crystal clear imaging.
hd can only be passed via component inputs or hdmi.
the included audio componet used does a excellent job of displaying the image on the tv screen(2006 lcd sansung tv) and a hdmi connect might be nice but not necessary.
people tend to let you connect the camcorder to the hdtv (via hdmi) rather than to their pc/mac to play the films.
-no digital out - i'm completely dumbfounded why flip supplied no hdmi out on an hd camcorder.
there is no way i can play hd vdo directly on my hdtv--there is no hdmi (or similar) connection available..for the price i do expect this.
