Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs Vado HD 8 GB Pocket Video Camcorder, 2nd Generation (Black Gloss with Maroon Accents)
Digital camera Review: "Second Generation?"
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I had one of the original 8gb vado's, so I was really excited to get this one, and see what they had updated.
I opened it, checked over all the stuff, all the documentation, etc...and it appears that internally this is the exact same camera as the first generation. The outside is now glossy instead of rubberized matte (a downgrade in my opinion), and has red buttons.
On my review of the first generation my biggest pet peeve was that there wasn't any mac support. Well that's kind of fixed. From their site you can now download a mac application that will let you load movies into iPhoto/iMovie. Which works pretty awesome, although it still has to transcode the video, it would be much better if it was native, but this is better than nothing (or having to hack some solution together).
Anyways since this appears to be pricier than the first generation, and it's exactly (besides the color) the same thing, I'd stick with the old one. Compared to other cameras in it's class it usually comes in pretty good, although the flip hd and the creative zi8 usually beat it, the vado is really good at indoors, but not as good outdoors.
