What makes a flip video recorder better than a digital camera that records in HD?

best digital camera for recording video hd image

I decided on getting one of the Panasonic digital cameras that record in HD instead of getting the flip. I don't understand why the flip is more expensive than the panasonic f3 for example. The video quality is the same and the flip doesn't take high quality pictures the way the panasonic does.
@fhotoace That's what I thought. I'm glad I did research and found a digital camera that records in HD instead of wasting money on the flip.

- Nothing. It's way much more inferior than most HD capable digital still cameras. It's a marketing strategy. There's no law preventing you from raising the value of your product as you see fit.

Is there a point and shoot digital camera with optical zoom while recording a video?

Is there a good quality point and shoot digital camera that allows for optical zoom while recording a video? Not digital zoom, which just crops the frame you already have and makes the video blurry and undefined, but optical zoom, which actually zooms into what ever you're looking at without the blurriness of the digital zoom. Thanks so much for your help :)
Is there a camera with all of the qualities above that is compact. For example, a camera that could fit in a jacket pocket.
