Today the best selling camcorders on the market aren’t the fancy high-end models costing tons of money, but the easy to use and low price models like the line from Flip. Flip’s line of Mino and other camcorders are among the most popular you will find and make it easy for people to record video and upload them to sites like YouTube and others.

The catch is that while the Flip camcorders can record HD quality video, the devices have sound that isn’t as good as their video quality. The fix for the sound quality is here from Blue Microphones. Blue makes mics for all manner of uses from the PC to professional musicians to use in recording studios and live events. The latest new offering for the company is the Mikey for Flip microphone.

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.

Anyone can get in on the action and upload their own videos based on the different themes, including “Worst Date”, “Last Dream”, “Bridges, Rhinos, Chandeliers”, and “If I Could Change 1 Thing About The World” to name a few. MTV and Flip …

Has anyone cross-referenced the prophecies of Nostradamus with Hello Kitty? Because I’m pretty sure she’s the Anti-Christ. Anyhow, the kitty is back thanks to Pure Digital Technologies’ Flip Video lineup getting all Hello Kitty-fied with the Mino and MinoHD. Like their un-kitti-fied cousins, the camcorders sport one-touch video recording, a built-in USB port, and can record 60 minutes of video with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Most importantly for those willing to worship at the kitty altar, the camcorders come in eleven different Hello Kitty designs. Apparently, the price will be $179.99 for Mino and $229.99 for MinoHD, which is the same price as without the kitty graphics.

It seems like everyone is making videos for YouTube or MySpace these days. This video making revolution has led to some really small and totally digital camcorders hitting the market that make getting the videos onto video sharing sites easier.
