 Great video quality for youtube and the web May 24, 2010
B. Lim (San Jose CA)
It is great for all the youtube and web recordings.
the cons: there is no image stabilization so the video can get shaky
I used final cut pro to edit the videos as iMovie wasn't able to. I imported them using iPhoto.
 Creative Labs Vado HD 4GB Pocket Video Camcorder 2nd gen. March 14, 2010
Thief Raccoon (CA)
the Vado HD itself is surprisingly light, even with the battery inserted!
(when inserting the battery, the side with information goes up)
the controls are simple and easy to use.
but it also lacks different options when taking a video, besides the three video qualities (HD+, HD, VGA).
video quality is great, but I haven't owned any other ultra portable video camcorder.
***AUDIO SYNC ISSUE (and my fix)
the audio/video sync issue many people experience can be solved by watching the video on a higher spec computer.
Or you can try getting a better codec for your own computer
(which you should, as HD videos are becoming more and more common) as i did.
my specs are
AMD Athlon x2 Dual-Core QL-64 2.10Ghz
2gb of DDR2 RAM
Radeon 3100 with shared memory
32-bit Win7
used GOM player to view recorded videos
i recorded a clip of my girlfriend brushing her teeth (~30 sec),
connected the Vado to my laptop, and watched the video.
I did not notice any audio sync problems, but it was a very short video.
Then I proceeded to test the Vado Central software, which wanted me to install a codec.
Then later when i watched the video again, (not with Vado Central, I used GOM player)
I noticed significant audio sync issue!
So i uninstalled the codec Vado Central gave me, then installed CoreAVC,
changed GOM player setting to not use internal codec so that it will use CoreAVC,
and my video was in perfect sync again.
so if you encounter this sync issue, try finding a better codec (h.264) before you throw away your old computer.
(I think the codec that Vado Central wants you to install isn't very efficient...)
 defective product February 2, 2010

Seemed like a good device but the sound didn't work...only recorded static. We returned it -- Amazon is very good about that. Hope others have better luck.
Good buy February 1, 2010
Arunprasad Mohan (florida)
it is a good one., shoots decent video. Such a Tiny camcorder shooting this decent pictures is unbelievable. It's just very handy easy to use, easy to upload videos. Good buy on overall.
Flipped for joy February 1, 2010
G. Cernicky (PA)
This was my first flip camera. The ease of use and comfort are an easy winner for any video that captures the moment. The video results are more than I expected . I liked the software from Vado to make slideshows and snapshots. When a neighbor wanted to send a video clip for an anniversary , I first chose my "old" device , which seemed to be more appropriate. But, the flip came to he rescue and delivered a gem . Moments later , the neighbor wanted one ,too , which will capture her children in sporting events.
The Creative model suits all my purposes . The controls are easy to use , even with the enclosed pliable cover. And, under 15 minutes , I had the videos online to share with friends and family. Now, that is a measure of success well over my older video cam . The difference is a cumbersome carry case versus a Flip that can be easily placed in a jeans pocket for instant usage. The only negative was that I purchased this from Amazon and today I found that its 40 dollars cheaper on Ecost , and not refurbished . With that thought , I'm buying another one for my Family.
