Creative Labs Vado Satchel Video Camera
What can I say, this is a high-minded little camera. I have two of them and they work great. I have a camcorder that costs 5 times as much and it's sitting in my stand collecting dust because I take my Vado with me every where I go.
They are easy to use (point and shoot ) and the picture quality is gracious.
I've used it for personal video logs and just every day capture life videos.
It's sad that the older models won't be on tap any longer but I'm sure that the newer ones in High Definition will be just as good. The attitude I like about it most is the .avi format that the video is taken in. You can play your video's on any computer and if you want you can purchase any of the many video deliverance programs to put on to DVD. Great little camera. Only disappointment is the digital zoom on it. The pictures has a partiality to be a bit blurry on digital zoom. But.. any camera you get that has digital zoom (even the ones that costs hundreds more ) has the same question. Optical zoom is the best.

Vado purloin camcorder
Along with my pocketbook and keys my Vado pocket camcorder is in my pocket every time I leave the house. This inconsequential, lightweight video camera is very handy. It is easy to use, mostly because it has very few controls, and can be mastered in minutes. The batteries burden fast and hold their charge. The USB plug that is stored in the cotton corner of the camera container looks flimsy but has given me no problems so far. I think a plug with a longer cord would be more discommode prone.

Although the camera stores an hour of video I am disappointed with the video quality. It is no more wisely than cell phone video. Most youtube videos are of higher quality than this camera produces. Because it is a camera only, I was with a bun in the oven more. The zoom function is jerky. The sound is better than I expected. The software which is supposed to grant automatic login to youtube did not work for me, but my computer is locked down pretty tight so maybe it is due to a sanction problem resulting from my computer's configuration.

Not well-timed with the product.
First, Amzaon has shipped us the naughty product. We have ordered for the 2nd generation(and was charged for it) and we got an old model(Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Purloin Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black) OLD MODEL). We have returned the spin-off and the main reason for our return is after you record and play the video, the audio is not in sync with the video. Noticeably when you play the video for the second time the audio is way out of sync and you hear something different from what you recorded. I dream up it's best to buy a digital camera which records good quality video instead of spending bread on this.

Performs well!
It's sharp to review today's technology. So many products do a great job at what they are meant to do and are very easy to use, it's hard not to equitable give them all 5-stars. The Creative Labs Vado HD camcorder performs as advertised. It is small, easy to use and transfers video smoothly to the computer. My daughters (8 and 6) use this camera and love it. It is tough to get a good image in low skinny, but not awful. It has not taken over preferred status from our Flip Video camcorder because the Flip was here first and the Lose it software is ingrained in them already (and it's more intuitive). However, it may take over based on the fact that the Flip's batteries die plausibly every week. The Vado's rechargeable battery is a huge plus as is the included HDMI wire. FYI - The silicon skin didn't last 1 minute on the camera. Literally, ONE minute before the girls had that item off. "Too ugly and bulky".

It must be tough playing catch up to the market leader, but if your output is sound and has enough little extras (Rechargable battery, HDMI), I think you'll do just outstanding. This is a quality product (so far, so good!) and I look forward to the competition bringing out new features and trim prices!

Fine fantastic Pocket Camcorder
The only squawk I have is that it doesn't produce good quality video in low light. Everything else about this unit I'm very happy with. I found it tranquilly to use and had no problem making decent video after fully charging the unit. Down loading video couldn't be easier either with the units preloaded program. All-embracing I'm happy with this purchase.

Horrifying
I bought this for my helpmate who is not the most tech savy person and she handles this no prob. Controls are easy to use and the picture looks gigantic, the microphone does pick up the person who's holding it voice over others but what do you expect from a device that is the same gauge as an ipod. This pocket cam is awesome for whats it's designed for, we got it for Christmas and were able to watch what we recorded upright on the TV via HDMI... no converting to computer first... AWESOME... The video does yield out better in full light but not that bad in low light. the only other feature i would want would be an expandible flash card honour slot... but with 2 hours of on-board memory you really don't need it.

This is a camcorder I indeed use. I have another camcorder that has a flip screen but it is a pain lugging it around. But no problems carrying the Vado around. It looks and weighs as much as a apartment phone and is easy to use.

fair for the price
I checked many reviews before I got it (6 months ago, paid $125), so it is more or less what I expected. I use it for fun, so it is ok for me. Snap and Kodad HD camcorders were more expensive ($50 or so more). I prefer to use VGA mode because files are smaller so it is lenient to upload videos to youtube, but HD is pretty good.
pro:
- easy to use
- video quality options: VGA, HD and HD+
- qualified to connect to HDTV directly (cable included)
- easy transfer to computer
- very light

cons:
- my corporeal complain is the mic. You need to talk really close to the camera to get good sound. If recorded unbroken would very important for your videos, you should look for another make. Also, you can't connect external mic.
- software included is unpractical.

My computer have vista ultimate 64. I could see the videos I recorded, but couldn't edit them using WMM until I found this tutorial [...]

Unusually Disappointed
I don't advised of if I received a broken camera, or all of the cameras are like the one I got. The camera did come already half charged which leads me to take it that it was previously used, even though I did buy it new. The image quality was embarrassing. To call the footage HD would be the biggest lie I'd ever told. The video dignity was also extremely crappy. The camera would just cut off the video when it was being moved, and then cut back in when it felt like it. The metal goods was okay, I wouldn't mind keeping it my pocket if it did work. With all the being said, I immediately returned the component to the seller. I would not recommend this item to anyone. Save your money.

Windows 7 saved this camera !
I almost gave up on this video camera only because I could not find docile to use software to just create a DVD of what I recorded. The built in software did not work if you recorded in HD. You would get video, but no well-constructed or sound and no video. However, the YouTube feature worked perfectly. Windows Movie Maker that comes with Vista did not honour the .AVI file even though it was supposed to. It lacked the codecs for the HD file.

We upgraded to Windows 7 and the Windows Cinema Maker worked great! It works flawlessly and easy to use. We now get so much use out of this great video camera. I attraction it.

Cons: Cannot upgrade to a larger flash memory. It is only built in. The USB connector gets in the way of the tripod mount. You must pull asunder it out away from the camera for it to fit or use Creative Lab's tiny tripod. I use it on a 52" tripod.

An Hands down No-Brainer
It's thorny to believe a product this small would perform so well, but it does!! The portability is a huge plus, and the candour is what every non-geek dreams of. Nothing to download into your computor as the program to operate it is built into the camera itself! Although the playback sieve is small,(as is the whole unit)and the speaker just allows you to hear what you've recorded, don't be discouraged. Once you download onto your computor through the ultra-honest USB hook-up, the picture is excellent (especially on HD+) and the sound is excellent because the microphone is actually fully sensitive in what it picks up. This camera is like a cellphone in size. It can always be with you w/out taking up too much space.I've never put music to a video before , yet with this segment I was doing just that in about 3 minutes. Definetely check out [...] for more good advice and instructions on this part. It's great to keep a high quality videocamera on yourself for those unexpected moments in life. The accessories are a stuff b merchandise idea. I'd suggest a protective cover,an AC charger(or a USB charger that plugs into a wall.) If you are wealthy on vacation check out the underwater plastic pouch that lets you snorkel up to 15' Davy Jones's locker to get underwater pictures. If you do long segments of recording(weddings etc) think about an extra mobile, otherwise 1 is enough. For the price this is a great unit that is alot of fun!! The practical and fun applications are endless. Recollect.....the Gen3 unit has less memory 4gig than this unit (Vado HD) which has 8gig. The memory is worth it!!

Cured than the Flip Ultra HD
I from day one bought the Flip Ultra HD from Newegg. I had all kinds of issues with the Flip Easy Ration Software. Flip acknowledged the issue, but couldn't provide a solution. So I went to consideration it to Newegg and was informed that wasn't an item eligible for a return. Lame! They did make a 'one without surcease exception' after I explained the problem. But lesson learned, I doubt I'll purchase anything over $20 from Newegg in the following.

Anyway this Vado is significantly smaller than the Flip Ultra HD, and the lense is better due to the wider corner it can shoot. With the Flip Ultra HD I always felt like I had to take a few steps back to whatever I was trying to record to fit into the imagine. The sound quality also seems better with the Vado.

On the downside, the buttons on the Vado are poorly intended. They can get activated by barely touching them or brushing against them. It's also advertised as being able to take still photos....yes it does, but the importance is poor, there's no anti shake technology, so mine are all blurry. It would probably work if I had a tripod..but I don't.

It's a fun camera for the cost point.

It's so scarcely
That's the first constituent I noticed, it's the size of an iPhone and yet it's an HD video camera and a digital camera. Now if you are filming an lengthy movie, this is not the device for you. But if you are out walking and see bigfoot or an UFO, this camera is just the right size to have in your camp to film them. (Be sure to keep the just out of frame and bounce around a lot)

There are several very nice features, the built in USB is fantabulous so you can connect quickly to any computer. The software is built in to install quickly and it allows you upload unkink to YOUtube or other sites easily.

Now it does have couple negatives, no external memory place for SDcards and only 4GB of memory. The Focus and Light Adjustment features are a little sensitive, but that perfectly requires a little practice to use them. And I have to say that sometimes it is just too small when you are trying to film something elaborate.

Total this is a very nice product that you can have on hand for those times you wish you had a video camera, as well as those times that a more improve system would be intrusive.

Take heed!! Just Be Informed
Okay ...

I purchased this small video camera so that I would NOT have capture video from "tape".

Yes, this video camera does a colossal job IF you want to go straight from the camera TO YouTube. However, might I remind you, that IF you plan on getting this camera, with expectation of editing the video in another application, such as Sony Vegas, or Adobe Premier, GOOD Chances!!! You have to do a lot of leg work ... and to me, it's just not worth it.

The editing software that comes with it is VERY bad, to say the least. OH, you can embellish the front and back end. However, you can't JOIN other clips together. So, if you WERE planning on post to YouTube, and say, you were using this camera to build a tutorial. You'd have a very burdensome time, and merely impossible with the included software.

Now ... somebody had mentioned Nero 9, but, let's clock it ... A somewhat upper level, professional software like premier or vegas, ought to be masterly to handle these files.

So ... just informing you.

In leaning with this little camcorder!
I am new to the camcorder seascape, as my camcorder as been my camera in video mode. I can't say enough good things about this little device. To be just out of the box I charged for about 4 hours. It auto installed the software and drivers needed to display the program on my computer. The program is Creative Vado Prime and after taking a video I plugged into my computer, my computer prompted me for the program and I choose Creative Vado. From there it loaded my video and then I could keep to my hard drive, post to my facebook or youtube. The video was so clear and the audio was amazing. The only drawback was in dark areas in which the camera doesn't do night/dark filming. I loved how I could aspect the videos, upload and delete from the program. ( I know I can do from my computer as well but this is so simple ! )

I am so impressed. Many of my friends are impressed with the alarming HD quality, and I can't wait to get a software program so I can edit my videos like I have seen online.

I consider this is a awesome device, and my mother is so impressed she is going to buy one this weekend! Easy to use, and great worth. Thanks Amazon! :)
