This week Apple announced a new Ipod Nano that can shoot video, in the clip below the same scene is shot side by side using the new Nano and the Flip Ultra II Standard Definition. As you can see the Flip has noticably better image quality especially in low light.

Of course the Nano, which shoots 640-by-480 VGA video in MPEG-4 format, has loads more storage space and plays music. But even though the two units are similarly priced (in the US around $150) I wouldn’t advise buying the Nano if Video is key for you. The Nano doesn’t seem to offer much beyond decent Mobile phone Video quality.
Note: The Audio used on the clip comes from the Nano so the clip isn’t an Audio comparison.
See why I think the Flip Ultra SD is still a good buy over the Flip HD and Mino HD.
