Flip cameras are all the rage and have been for the last year or two. And rumor has it that they have a new feature in the works. Your old buddy Wi-Fi.

It’s just a rumor, but it makes sense to have Wi-Fi on a convenient camera like the Flip so you can upload videos to YouTube or elsewhere. Plus you would probably be able to watch other videos on it as well. At any rate, they had better add new features if they want to compete. So we think this one is very likely to be true.

Here’s yet another gadget aimed at women from a company who thinks that making it look like a cute little purse will have them selling like hotcakes. It looks soft and frilly and goes with your bag so of course you’ll love it right? Probably not.

Japan-based electronics maker Greenhouse has announced the GHV-DV30HDLXW/P today, a video camera specifically designed for women. Obviously. It’s available in two colors, white and…pink. Buyers will also get a cute pouch to match the color of the camera.

There are all sorts of sports where watching tapes of what you did right and wrong can help you improve. There are also sports where just getting film of someone crashing or doing something stupid is fun to watch. Whatever the case may be, Tachyon has unveiled new and very small camcorder that it claims to be the world’s smallest helmet cam.

The camera is called the XC Micro and it measures 3.8 x 1.4 x 1.8 and weighs 3.7 ounces. It can be attached to goggles, helmets, dashboards and other locations for filming. Power is from a pair of AAA batteries and lasts for four hours of shooting.

Zoom’s Q3 Video recorder is touted as being the first and only handheld video recorder to record HD audio, and in it’s class it is certainly a unique offering. It caught our eye back in July, but now the Q3 has finally begun to ship to consumers.

The device records 24-bit/48 kHz audio using a pair of condenser microphones and is powered by two AA cells and captures video at 640 x 480 (30fps). It also sports a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 LCD and an SDHC card slot.

Those of you in the market for a new pocket camcorder can now check out the new Flip MinoHD camcorder for $229. It sports a new design and will provide 2-hours of recording time, with a high-resolution display for playback.

Some other features include 8GB of internal memory, recording resolutions up to 1,280 x 720, an omni-directional microphone, built-in speaker, HDMI output and 2x digital zoom. Not too bad for the price. It comes bundled with FlipShare, which lets you upload videos directly to Facebook without a computer, which is pretty handy.

JVC wants a piece of the Flip market, so its unveiled the rather attractive and shiny Picsio GC-FM1. It’s more than just a good looking compact camcorder, though. It sports an 8-megapixel sensor and can capture 1080p HD video. No built in memory here, but it shoots to SDHC cards so you can easily add more storage if you need to.

You’d think that JVC would include a card in the box to get you started, but no such luck. So, you’ll need one. Movies are in H.264 format and you can put them directly on YouTube. The device also features digital image stabilization and you can expect 96 minutes from a single charge.

Extreme sports fans like to show people all the crazy stuff that they do from sky diving to swimming with five four year olds at once (which I assure you is very extreme) the catch is most cameras can’t stand up to the rigors of this type of use. What these people need is a camera like the Predator VX360.

The VX360 is a wearable camcorder that is water resistant and aimed directly at the extreme sports market. The camera is waterproof to three meters and robust enough to survive impact with rock and the salt from seawater.

Last week it was the U500 laptop and now Toshiba has unveiled another device born of its partnership with the Italian bike manufacturer. The pocket sized Cameila S10 camcorder.

Boasting a 5 megapixel sensor it can record video at 1080p and also sports a 4GB card which can hold up to 60 minutes of video. After you’ve recorded your masterpiece, videos can be uploaded directly to Youtube. The Camelia S10 Ducati camcorder also has a 2.5 inch TFT screen, but sadly no HDMI port.

Pocket camcorders keep getting smaller, even when you think they can’t shrink anymore. Aiptek’s latest pocket camcorder is one of the smallest we’ve seen yet that can shoot HD video. It also sports a 1.1-inch OLED screen on the back so you can preview your footage.

Some other features include the ability to shoot video at 720p30 and take 5 megapixel stills, with 4GB of internal memory, which will hold about two hours of footage. If you are into YouTube, you can upload straight from the camera’s Windows-only software, or pump it out to your TV through the HDMI port.

Pocket camcorders are all the rage thanks to you silly kids and your youtube videos and vlogs and whatnot. So how does a company attempt to get some of the market share from the likes of the Flip? Well, if you are Medion, you make your mini camcorder rugged so that it’s shock and splash resistant.

That way it should be able to take some abuse if you are filming some really outrageous stunts. Or a kids birthday party. The S47000 features a 2-inch LCD in back and only a few buttons to keep it all simple. It’s ultra light too at only 85g.

Toshiba just launched three new camcorders. The Camileo S20, H30 and X100 models. All three offer full HD (1920 x 1080p). The Camileo S20 is one of the slimmest HD camcorders in the world at a mere 17mm, while the H30 is all about “functionality with ease of use” and the X100 will get you a a decent 10x optical zoom.

If you’re looking for a budget camcorder, the S20 fits the bill, with specs like a 4x digital zoom, 5-megapixel sensor and 3-inch rotating screen. The H30 sports 10 megapixels, 5x optical zoom and 10x digital. The X100 features a 10-megapixel sensor 10x optical, 10x digital and a 4GB built-in flash memory. Plus, both the H30 and X100 have LCD touchscreen panels.

Exemode has introduced the Yashica DV-535HD camcorder. The DV-535HD can record 1080p 30fps HD video at an affordable price. It will debut in Japan on September 11th, retailing for around $263. Don’t let the price fool you, the DV-535HD doesn’t sacrifice performance.

It features an optical 5x zoom, a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor and a touch-sensitive 3″ LCD display. All of your video recordings are stored in AVI file format for easy migration to wherever you want them and you can save all of your recorded content onto an SDHC memory card up to 32GB.

I am a fan of motorsports like drag racing and motocross. One of the coolest types of video on YouTube and other sites are the sort shot from inside the cockpit or on the helmet of people during their favorite motorsport.

A company called Tachyon has announced the 2010 model of its XC camcorder will be shipping in mid-September. The camera is designed to be shockproof, offer a wide field of view, and superior light gathering capability for good images.

JVC’s latest full HD camcorder is getting ready to hit the market, the Everio GZ-HM400. The Everio GZ-HM400 will be available this August for about €820 and is pretty similar to the JVC Everio GZ-X900. Some features include:

A 10.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 2.8″ LCD display, 32GB internal memory, SDHC memory card slot, Konica Minolta HD Lens with a 10x Optical zoom, HDMI output, 600fps mode, K2 audio technology, iTunes and YouTube support.

This may be Kodak’s best pocket cam yet. The Flip Ultra HD doesn’t stand a chance with features like 1080p recording, an electronic image stabilizer, and an SDHC card slot. The launch price is $180. Some other features include:

It has an external mic jack, 5-megapixel stills, you can track faces of subjects and Kodak says, “see more details and accurate colors in low light.” That’s big because low light has been a problem with Flip-class cameras.
