It’s been quite a while since Pure Digital’s YouTube-lovin’ Flip Video Ultra came around, but folks looking for its rightful successor can finally stop peering around each bend in vain. Announced this day, the Flip Mino checks in at just 4- x 2- x 0.6-inches and weighs 3.3-ounces — a full 40% smaller than the previously mentioned Ultra. You’ll also find 2GB of internal storage for holding an hour of footage, along with a sealed rechargeable Li-ion, 1.5-inch anti-glare screen, touch-sensitive buttons and a Television output to boot. As predicted, this pocket-friendly camcorder comes ready to upload to some of the most popular video sharing sites on the internet, and users in the US can procure their own (in black or white) on June 5th for $179.99.

We got a tiny hands-on time with Olympus’s tiny E420 DSLR back at CeBIT, but the cam’s now shipping and the crew at LetsGoDigitial put one through its paces. As you’d anticipate, the E420’s diminutive stature won praise for being light and compact while still fitting well in the hand, but the real accolades were saved for the new Live View feature that grants for instant focusing with supported lenses and solid image sensor that delivers images on par with the more costly Olympus E-3. The only major negatives appears to be some noise at higher ISO settings and the lack of an IS system, but those aren’t necessarily major flaws — and if you’re in the market for a DSLR, the review just beyond the read link might be well worth your time.
