Review: Creative Vado HD

Video Quality

I can’t help but feeling I have the most washed out backyard in the world. Below, you can listen to my rambling as I walk throughout the backyard. The backyard is just as it appears in the video: dead and dirt-filled. You can see noticeable bounciness as I walk around and move the camera around. However, the image quality is astounding.

Below is a video as I walk to the mailbox to pick up my new Watchmen book. Again, the bounciness is nearly all from my inability to glide across the ground. This is where it’s almost unacceptable, but the image itself is of extremely high quality.

Here’s an indoor one, where the Vado HD really shines. It looks almost professional quality here, aside from (again) the fairly slow response time when moving fast images.

Nighttime is a very different beast though. This was taken in the backseat of a car on the way home from Watchmen. It’s a fairly good distance away from the shopping centers, but a few landmarks are evident, better than I anticipated.

    Creative sent me an email noting Vado HD is on sale for $175 for the camera or $199 for the camera and a bunch of accessories. I own both the original ("standard definition") Vado and the Vado HD. Both shoot great video and are super easy to use. Perfect for tossing in my bag wherever I go. I have tried the Flip and Kodak. Creative's Vado edges both of them out IMHO. Great little pocket cams.
