Hardware Creative Vado HD (3rd Gen) Review

Creative's last Vado HD didn't fare too well against the best of the crop of mini camcorders in terms of image quality. The 3rd Gen Vado HD improves on this, and adds touch-sensitive control buttons too. Read on to see if this is the best pocket camcorder for your money.

Well, considering that it has a VGA screen (per the article), it's far higher than that of the HTC Legend, HTC Hero, Apple iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, Samsung Omnia, etc. It's actually very high res already, especially for a 2" screen.

iPhones, Legends are no longer MODERN! Cue the entry of the hordes of angsty Apple fanatics.

 

The N900 is modern though. And it does a fairly good job of capturing video at 848x480 and photos at 5mp (or 3.5mp @ 16:9 aspect ratio). I suppose I'm probably not the target audience for this, but I can't really see why I would bother with it.

 

? I may have mentioned the N900 in my previous comments, but I'm 100% sure I didn't mention it in this thread, nor did the article mention anything about the N900. The N900 was never a mass market device anyway, so don't feel sad about being unable to bother about it. ;D

 

Still don't see the point In this market

 

Sames tbh, but I do like the fact that they used it to show us the inside of that beasty setup. As for that second video, I am not sure that the British grey urban environment demonstrates the outdoors, lol. Man, I need a holiday.

 

With an external mic input, this could rival the Zi8.

 

it must be good if it shows up the dingy view from your offices.
