Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs Vado Pocket Video Camcorder (Silver) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE DEVICE..VERY CHEAP AND WITH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE.
THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEOS WHEN YOU WATCH THEM IN YOUR COMPUTER, IS QUITE GOOD!!!
Digital camera Review: As essential as a cell phone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a pair of electronic necessities now, one for organizational and communication optimization (cell phone) and the Vado for "receipt taking". Yeah, imagine that, having a receipt of all your most treasured interactions, but not simply capturing one instant, but those situations that demand 30 frames/sec for many seconds, minutes, or hours!
Sad story though -- I am a student making $12k a year in a Biotech lab, so the $50 for the camcorder was cha-ching for me. On an AA flight, I left my beloved Vado in the backseat slot! Oh man, what a bummer. It's gone until I save another $50, and worse, the videos of myself and bestest conference buddies are missing too :(
I plan to buy another...maybe in March 2010.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I must of bought bout 2-3 different cameras in the course of 08 so far. In search of a good quality including the embarassing keychain cam, one by sakar which is a nice cam for still shoots. and a creative webcamw which is awesome so i know they got good quality cams and a logitech which i didn't care for. This one is by far my favorite video capablity camera so far . The image quality is amazingly good. I been searching for something to do my expotv video opinions with as well they keep rejecting the others from the other cam due to lack of quality.I can see already by the image quality here that won't be a problem. It is a cute little cam however the usb thing looks a bit flimsy but long as I am careful i see no problems. I recommend t his to others looking for a cool little device to take with you on family trip that you can just pop in your purse take with you rechargablility is nice . No Sd Cards needed thats also a good saver. This is a cool little gadget Giving it 5 stars for being cool alone :).Digital camera Review: Awkward and difficult!
Summary: 1 Stars
Awkward to charge and I am still trying to figure out how to use it!
The instructions are not clear and the cord that hooks up to the computer is very short.
Digital camera Review: Best little flash based Camcorder around

I got my husband a Flip video before we went on vacation so he could use it at his family reunion. It worked out wonderfully. I wish I would have had this. First, it doesn't use batteries which are a pain in the butt to keep track of. The little USB connector is mounted on a rubber extender that plugs right into my laptop. Because the extender is flexible (unlike the Flip) it's easier to snug in next to anything else I have plugged in. When I travel, I usually take a wireless mouse with me along with a portable hard drive. Being my laptop has only 4 usb ports, space is at a premium, so a flexible connector is MUCH appreciated.
Second, this is a bit smaller than the Flip. This fits easily in the zippered compartment of my purse. It also makes much better videos than my phone does, so I have taken to carrying it with me. It just 'feels' more solid than the Flip. Having a flash based camera is also a wonder because I am not worried about knocking it around. Hard drive based music players I have tend to react badly to stress. This little camera is rock solid. In the future I am going to stick with flash based devices because they have no moving parts, last longer and are ultimately lighter than heavy tape based camcorders or drive based mp3 players. They are also easier to recharge. The small videos these make (the Vado uses XViD to compress) are easily manipulated with basic software, and look good on even a large HD television. It's also very easy to put together a compilation with software like Nero, then burn it to DVD. If you have ever done the family reunion thing, you know that everyone wants copies of everything. Being able to assemble and burn something on the spot saves a lot in postage :p
I detected no reasonable difference between the Vado and the Flip as far as quality goes. Both contain features on the drive that enable you to upload videos to sharing services, like YouTube. The Vado drive contains a program you can use on your computer to view or upload your videos. It also has a self installing XViD codec which was very convenient. The Zoom is easier to use on the Vado. It also does very well in low light conditions which I found surprising. I bought the Flip because of brand recognition. If I had known about the Vado I would have certainly purchased that first. As it is, this is now MY camera :) My husband can keep the other thing :)
