Pros: Easy to use, great picture for HDTV, wife is able to use it. We will soon have our first grandkid so we bought the video cam to take family movies. from Newegg.com Pros: Great little hd movie maker!!! super fun and easy to use!!! from Newegg.com My real issue was with the techinal staff backup. For some reason my camera came without the needed software installed on the camera itself. I resolved most of my problems by downloading the software from Creative Labs website and installing it on the camera. I emailed the techinal people at Creative Labs, while trying resolve my installation problems; to shorten a long story...got no help at all. from Amazon.com I ordered this camcorder and it was defect. It's very clear that it was defect but it took 2 weeks that Creative labs send an email to me that it's defect. I'd already send it back to the seller then. from Amazon.com I loved the VADI HD for the 6 weeks it worked. A wonderful device. from Amazon.com This product is why I buy things from Amazon - so that when everything goes wrong, I have someone to turn to. I purchased the Vado HD for a two-week trip across the country. It arrived about 2 weeks before the trip, and the day it arrived I was really excited because I hoped to try it out at a house concert I was going to that night. from Amazon.com Pros: Light weight, pocket size. Picture HD video quality is surprisingly good for this type of camera. Easy to use out of the box, and battery life is good Cons: Sound captured is a little bit low in volume, perhaps becaus e the mic location is covered by the bundle skin cover. from Newegg.com The video looks really sharp on my computer, while on my big screen it looks like 90's video camera quality. (which isn't bad for around a hundred bucks). Comes with a rubber case, 8GB memory, and a HDMI cable. I looked at a few models before choosing the Vado, the flip, Kodak, RCA. from Newegg.com This Vado HD cam looked pretty good based on reviews, but it was an epic fail in practice. I took it to a concert and made some videos, which were ok quality except for one huge problem: on playback on the computer, the audio and video were out of sync by at least 3 seconds in the AVI files produced by this cam. from Amazon.com I was torn between the iFlip video camera and the Vado HD720. Overall, the video quality of both cameras is comparable. from Amazon.com
