Customers Reviews  2009-11-19 Great compact Camcorder This is a great little camcorder. Very small
and easy to travel with. Great that it fits
in a pocket. Would like a longer taping time,
but still a good deal. |  2009-11-05 Simple and Cost Effective .. Tough and Interesting Hardware I purchased the Vado normal resolution to use for making video under circumstances that I would not want to put my expensive video camera through. The Vado is tough and does a great job for a little money. Like all cameras it needs light to make good images and it does well indoors under daylight (6500K) fluorescent lights. Nice wide angle lens for close up shooting. I put my Vados in harms way and they keep on ticking. Great for children I suspect but no experience there. The Vado is the point and shoot of video cameras but sometimes that is all you need. |  2009-10-28 Vado by Creative Labs This is a great product for the price. Of course it won't do what more expensive camcorders do but it is not intended too. It is intended for ease of carrying. You don't even know it is in your pocket. Ease of operation. All done with one thumb, and the buttons are conveniently placed. Use it a half dozen times and you don't even have to look at the button disignation. You already have their function memorized. Ease of playback on the screen, on PC, or TV. The video, although not great, it is acceptable. I have been taking some fall colors from scenic overlooks and the pictures are great for a $47.00 price tag. |  2009-10-02 As essential as a cell phone 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. |  2009-09-29 Gift This was a birthday gift for my grand daughter, she is a senior in high school. So far she is enjoying the motion camera and has used it in a science experiment. Technically, at this time I can't add any useful information. | |
