"The Creative Vado HD stores its video in the AVI format which is great for all the Windows users out there, and there are a lot of them. This format makes it easier to edit the video in Windows Movie Maker or any Windows-based video editing package since it's the native format."

"However, once the video comes off the camera and onto YouTube or a DVD, it's simply stunning how a camera of that size can produce such amazing images. The video quality by itself pushes the player into the A range."

"The real test of a point-and-shoot, no frills camcorder is its processor's ability to intelligently apply the correct automatic settings in different situations, and this the Vado HD did well."

"Audio is actually better than impressive - even when I used the camera in a really tough location (a large stadium with a dolphin show), it picked up all the noises brilliantly."

"The Vado HD works just as well as its predecessor but it's that extra bump up in resolution that elevates it from "interesting gadget" category to full-on "OMG, I want one" status."

"The Vado HD makes it incredibly easy to share our memories with the world. Image quality is among the best I've seen for a camera this size. The wide-angle lens, removable battery, and 8GB's of storage pushes the Vado HD well ahead of its competitors."

"Best of all, low light performance is sufficiently good to make capturing indoor family events a realistic proposition."

"Having seen a number of HD devices of varying performance, we were pleasantly surprised by the Vado HD, especially considering the size. Given good conditions (plenty of ambient light and a stable position) you'll find the video results are pretty good."

"Creative's Vado HD is the only pocket camera I would recommend at the time of this writing."

"Its white balance is good enough to avoid the dreaded yellow tint, and it handles moving between different lighting conditions well; when I did that, the camcorder adjusted in less than a second."

"With its feature set, it's obvious that Creative has all guns blazing on the Vado HD... indoors and in lower light situations, the Vado HD maintained better color reproduction and less pixel-ization than the Mino."

"For my money right now, it's the Creative Vado HD. The wide angle lens is absolutely essential when you're trying to get closer to a subject - or if you want more in the scene. That's all you need to know - and all the reason to go with a Vado HD over the others."
