   Seems small enough to take into concerts. I’m still getting the hang of it. I dropped it on the concrete and it’s already making strange noises.

   - I purchased the flip minoHd and the Canon vixia hf100 to compare. After a week, I returned the flip minoHD and kept the Canon hf100.
   
   - There were only 2 advantages of flip minoHD over Canon hf100, they both are cosmetic issues.
   
   1) Flip minoHD is light, slim, and small
   
   2) Very easy to use
   
   - However, there were many limitations of flip minoHD that really bothered me. These limitations were not with Canon vixia hf100
   
   1) No way to connect the minoHD to HDTV to play the recorded films. People tend to let you connect the camcorder to the HDTV (via hdmi) rather than to their PC/MAC to play the films. They worry more about personal, sensitive files on their PC/MAC to hand the PC/MAC to you
   
   2) Only 1 hour recording space with minoHD. No way to put in additional flash card for more space
   
   3) Limited battery time. No way to swap in the back up battery
   
   4) No full HD (1080p) recording
   
   5) No optical zoom and only 2x digital zoom.
   
   6) No image stabilization

   With the above limitations of minoHD, I felt handcuffed when compared to the Canon vixia hf100. More importantly, I only paid about $300 more to have the Canon (I paid $540 for Canon vixia hf100 + 16GB SDHC + mini hdmi cable)

   The only negative of Canon vixia hf100 when compare to minoHD was the size and weight. However, its size was the can of soda. I have numerous of cargo pants and shorts so I’m fine with the Canon in my cargo pockets.

   This was a baby gift from a friend and we were so happy to receive it. After filling the camera only once, ONCE mind you, with videos and downloading them we were unable to charge the battery in the camera fully ever again. It gets only about 5 minutes charge. It’s past the time we can return it so oh well. Gee at least we got that one hour of videos of our baby. Too bad we can’t afford to buy another video camera for at least another year. When we do buy another video camera it will NOT be from this company. I refuse to support this company I’m so angry. This camera is a fun little toy only as it’s not built to last; don’t buy it as something to rely on for recording important life events.
