Creative Vado Expert Reviews

Following in Kodak's and Pure Digital's footsteps with its own HD pocket camcorder, the thin and lightweight Vado HD is small enough (55×101x23mm, 100g) to fit easily in a pocket or purse, so it's great for holidays and travelling. Upping the ...

Another strength of the Vado HD is that it enables fast and easy sharing of video on YouTube and Box.net. The camcorder has a built-in USB connector so you can plug right it into your PC, just like you would with a flash drive. It also comes with ...

A lower price tag would have ensured higher rating.

YouTube moviemakers will like the Creative Vado pocket camcorder. And probably no one else. In due fairness to Creative, the company has aimed this product for people who want to shoot movies on the go on a device that is easy to toss into a shirt ...

Keep a video camera in your pocket

A decent camcorder but it's more expensive than as-good-or-better rivals

If it was cheaper, the Vado HD would be an attractive option. But at £200, it's hard to see its place in the market.

The latest HD camcorders are fantastic pieces of kit, but overkill if you just want to capture video quickly on the move. For a lot less money, the Vado is one of a growing number of budget MPEG-4 video cameras that record clips you can easily upload ...

It almost seems too easy. A good MPEG-4 camera, narrowly outperformed by the pricier Flip.

Creative's Vado is brilliant value for money and a fine little friend to fans of web video
