I just bought this at bestbuy a couple weeks ago. By their price guarantee I got it for $540.00 by showing them the Camera Store website.

It does 1080p60 and has 10X optical zoom and takes 8MP Stills. It seemed like a pretty kick-as deal to me after the price match. No internal HDD, but I got a 32GB Classs 6 SDHC card for $100 so I have more than enough capacity (5 h at 1080p60)

It does some fun, if gimmicky stuff like lower resolution 600fps slo-mo or 240 fps slo-mo. The stills quality isn't as good as my 10MP Canon DSLR, but it's certainly decent to get 8MP photos and not have to carry around two cameras plus my lenses.

BTW - I know it's not as small as a flip camera, but I can actually fit it in my jeans pocket if I'm wearing slightly baggy jeans, or with room to spare in my coat pocket, so it's pretty portable and convenient.
