Final verdict : After Youtube compression I suppose the difference in quality between the two videos is negligible . Still , for US$ 150 the Flip Cam is pretty neat and it takes an hour of photos and is really tiny . Great for on - the - go interviews or travel videos as well as capturing impromptu fun . I 'd definitely recommend it , especially for us blogger types .

Question: What may happen if the camera is bulky and heavy ?
The review may be less glowing .
