Creative Vado HD

By (cnet.com)

Solid 720p video ; ultraslim design ; removable, rechargeable battery ; easy to use ; one-touch video uploading to YouTube and Photobucket ; includes mini HDMI connector and bundled cable for outputting 1080i video to an HDTV

No flash-memory slot ; Mac users have to manually copy video files to their computers ; white balance is slightly off and colors are a bit amped

The Creative Vado HD may fall slightly short of the Flip Video Mino HD in terms of video quality, but it's stronger feature set may tempt you.

Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam (silver) review

By (cnet.com)

Ultraslim design; removable, rechargeable battery; easy to use; relatively inexpensive; one-touch video uploading to YouTube and Photobucket

Included desktop software is almost featureless; no SD/MMC expansion slot; Mac users have to manually copy video files to their computers

While its video quality doesn't quite measure up to some of its competitors, there are enough pluses to make the Creative Vado Pocket Cam a worthy contender in the mini camcorder market.

Enter Creative, jumping into the fray with its superslim $99 Vado Pocket...

Creative Vado HD - Review of the Creative Vado HD

By Dana Wollman (laptopmag.com)

Slim, lightweight design, Detailed 720p video with smooth zoom action, 8GB internal storage, Includes an HDMI cable

Relatively expensive, Video is dimmer than competitors', Audio consistently cuts out before the video ends, Onboard software doesn't run on Macs

As with the original Creative Vado, we feel that the $229 Vado HD bests its competitors in many categories-slimness, internal storage, and the inclusion of both an HDMI port and cable. Our 720p video showed an impressive amount of detail, however, the ...

I paid 39.99 from Dell, I didn't expect much for the money but it's worth the price and very easy to use for a video rookie as I am. Like the USB for recharging and downloading. Nice design and LCD screen is a fair size. Not bad for $39.99

No memory card slot and not any real editing with the software

"One of the worst experience ever!"

By lubbesuh (cnet.com)

Save yourselves trouble and get another unit.... 

Absolutely nothing

Horrible customer service. No phone lines. Take 10 email exchanges to get the product back to repair. Batter refused to recharge after just a few uses. Software very unstable
