Charge Video Quality vs Flip MinoHD?

[zeldaboy101]

I don't take a ton of videos, so I don't see myself getting a dedicated camcorder any time soon, but I noticed today's Woot deal is a pretty good one. The 3rd generation Flip MinoHD is $45 shipped for the 4gb that can record up to an hour of 720p footage.

I haven't used my Charge much video wise and haven't put any videos recorded on a larger screen, so while videos recorded look nice on the 4" screen, I have no clue how they're going to be on a computer or tv screen.

I've read reviews that say the Droid Charge's video can be a bit laggy, which is one reason i'm considering getting the Flip for when i'm trying to take somewhat better videos. Has anyone ever seen video directly out of both and compared them? Comparing samples on youtube isn't going to be very accurate since they're compressed...

Is anyone underwhelmed by the video quality of the charge to want something better?

They normally go for $75 on amazon, so it's a pretty decent amount off today.

Thanks,
Jeremy

you wont see much of a difference they all have small sensors that needs day light for the best result. I think dedicated pocket camcorder would shoot videos better because they mainly made for videos and not part of some smart phone option. Flip can record 60fps which is much better for fast moving objects and it also have so called digital image stabilization which works good but sometimes can make your video look like jello. Plus you can safe battery on your phone by using flip instead of phones camera.

Recent vacation took video with both Flip and Charge. My wife and I agree that video on the Charge is at least as good as Flip.
