What's the diff? Need answer ASAP! ?

Question

What is the difference between a Flip (second gen, I presume) with 4 gdb (that say they're both UltraHD) and the 8 gb if they are both (supposedly) 120 minutes? How that even possible? Which one should I get? And what about the newer one, the 3rd gen, isn't the 'best' one the 8 gb (120 mins)? Thank you for your tine. Only serious and smart answers!
I want to get the BEST one [item] and (BEST) DEAL on eBay! :}

Answer 1

Go get a canon miniDV tape based camera. You will have less trouble and be happier with this choice. Every post i have seen on the net that talks about the difference between tape and hard drive or card based cameras is the same. The Tape based camera wins every time in audio and video quality. The other cameras cannot compete with a tape based system, especially for internet videos. The video that look like they are badly taken on the internet are taken with either a Hard Drive camera or SD card based.

Answer 2

You can consider Flip UltraHD Video Camera - Black, 8 GB, 2 Hours (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL



Shoot up to 2 hours of better-than-ever HD video on the easy-to-use, now even slimmer UltraHD

Press the big red button to start capturing vibrant HD video (720p / 60fps) on the super-simple user interface

Keep your video steady with image stabilization, UltraHD's newest feature

Organize, create and share your videos with FlipShare software

Answer 3

the time is a factor of the degree of compression used. compare a Flip at 8 GB for 120 minutes and miniDV at 25 GB for 120 minutes. When a salesman says "Ultra" that does not mean good, as you can see the numbers don't add up to even poor.
