Flip Video's latest model is the Mino HD

When you can get a video camera that is this easy to use, and has High Definition images, it is impossible to pass up. I bought my Flip Mino HD for about $200 (sadly I’ve only seen it for sale in the US), but is now available for about $150. Very simple one-button operation (turn on/turn off). Once you are finished taking the video, a USB plug pops out of the top and you can load it on to your computer for editing or display. I usually put it up on the web (one-button add) because now YouTube supports HD video, the new standard.

Great for immediate feedback in a class.
