1. CamcorderInfo.com

CamcorderInfo.com subjects a few pocket HD camcorders to its usual rigorous testing. The Flip UltraHD produces a slightly better video than some of the others, reviewer Jeremy Stamas says. Other differences, such as size and memory capacity, are more important.

2. CNET

Like other sources, CNET finds that the Flip UltraHD's footage looks slightly better than most other pocket camcorders', although editors say the Kodak Zi8 has surpassed it. Reviewer David Carnoy does like the fact that the Flip UltraHD can use regular AA batteries, although that makes the UltraHD bigger than the Flip MinoHD.

4. The Washington Post

This test pits the Flip UltraHD against the similar Kodak Zx1. The Kodak shoots slightly better video, but the Flip's simpler design and much better software give it the edge.
