One problem with this comparison though, they haven’t mentioned which Flip they’ve used just “SD” so it could be Mino or Ultra.
“Overall — the Flip offered a MUCH better picture both indoor and out, providing way more detail in the image. The Flip microphone was also a little more discerning in our test, able to distinguish our subject’s voice in a crowded room much better than the Nano.”
