Pick of the January Sales

07

2011

We've been keeping an eye on the January sales, and so far the best deals we've seen are:

Of the two, we prefer the Zi8 -- it has a wider-angle lens, a close-up mode, and a microphone jack. However, the Flip Mino is dinkier, which has to count for something. Oooh, but then the Zi8 comes in different colours... only, you have to spend another £15 on an SDHC card for it... decisions, decision.

Actually, the camera of this type that we really want to try out is the new Zoom Q3HD -- perhaps not quite as good a camera, but the microphones are likely to be stunningly fabulous. Prices from about £200.
