Comparison of Sony MHS-CM1 and Flip Video Ultra

I have a budget of $250 for a camcorder what is the best I could get for the price?

what is at the left ?

gonna buy the webbie

Great video. My Flip Ultra recently broke and i think instead of getting a new one im gonna shell out the extra couple of bucks and get the webbie. What do you think?

sony wins hands down

i think the "webby" is better

(in case i wasn't clear, click on the youtube HD button and you'll be able to see the video in high-def... i mastered it in HD, so the full 720p resolution will be available... you're definitely be able to tell which is which!

cheers

excellent question! its obvious in HD, but not in STD...

the image on the Left is the Sony "Webby" and the image on the Right is the Flip Ultra. (the Webby shoots in a 16:9 widescreen ratio while the Flip shoots in standard 4:3)

i returned the Webby since at $200 it was too expensive a 'toy'...

(re: split screen... tried this originally, but because of the different aspect ratios and cameras being side-by-side, there was enough parallax error to make the result not that useful

That is a great way to compare two cams. Thank you!

But I am not really sure which is which, maybe you can add some subtitle to the beginning of the flick? Or maybe to the end (so one can stay without brand bias while watching).

And a split-screen version (showing only the half of each picture) could be cool as well.

So anyways, which is which? :)
