Digital camcorders are increasing in popularity today as the number of users capturing and sharing videos across the Web climbs.

 

Users are turning to online video sharing sites to watch TV shows, music videos, upload personal content, and more. In fact, according to Nielsen Online, video sharing site YouTube (News - Alert), for example, nearly doubled its audience since last year.

 

Along with the increased capturing and sharing of videos,  comes the need for digital cameras that are affordable and easy to take along any where users go.

 

To answer to this need, Pure Digital Technologies is introducing a new version of its Flip Video camcorder, Flip Mino HD, a small, easy to use HD camcorder that fits into user's pockets and makes editing and uploading videos over the Web fast.

 

The company's Flip Video family of digital camcorders has experienced great success after just one year in the market with over 1.5 million camcorders sold.

 

Market Research firm NPD notes Flip Video is currently the number one best-selling camcorder in the U.S. Also, the company has been ranked the fastest growing

Silicon Valley Company by Deloitte (News - Alert) in their Technology Fast 50 program.

 

The Flip Mino HD camcorder, offered at an affordable $229.00 (MSRP), will make it possible for more users to take part in the online video sharing phenomenon.

 

Because the camcorder weighs just over 3oz. and can record up to 60 minutes of HD video, it's possible for users to take it with them and easily capture moments at any time and share them across the Web.

 

The camcorder also comes with Flip Video's FlipShare on-board software which includes a simple drag-and-drop interface and allows users to simply plug the camcorder into a computer using the camera's flip-out USB arm and automatically organize, edit and share video on YouTube, MySpace (News - Alert), AOL Video or via email
