Following closely behind the Flip Mino HD, it's the Vado HD camcorder from Creative. The Vado Pocket Video Cam hasn't made as much of an impact on us as much as the Flip and now the Flip's available in HD, Creative thought it best to pull up those socks and join in on the competition. It's still holding on to that 2-inch screen (which beats the Flip's 1.5-inch screen) but Creative has beefed up its insides with 8GB of storage instead of 2GB, to house all your 720p (1280 x 720) videos.
There's also an HDMI cable for instant television playback with the rightly equipped TV, a clever flick out USB connector for easy PC uploading and the built-in Vado Central Software for easy use.
It's tipped for release on 7th December, although according to Engadget this is an educated guess, but you can pre-order via Amazon for $200 USD and it will "deliver when available" - whenever that is?

I'm was thinking of getting one of these (Kodak Zi6 or Flip MinoHD) to Record Ariel Rebel from www.ArielRebel.com But then I fell onto the Vado HD...and there is no looking back!!!
"For those special moments a Big Camera can't be seen you need pocket HD"
Anyone Should be able to get some good Hidden in Store footage with the Vado its small and has a Wide lens that will help... Not having a Wide Lens like the flip... hurts the field of vision and makes camera shake more apparent..
I've looked at the Kodak Zi6... But the Colors are too Punchy, The lens is decently wide.. Sound is too Aggressive.. you hear every motor humm and the skin looks off... not good for Sexy Videos! And were all going to use it once or twice for some sort of Sexy Nude Video. It has a very good screen size 2.4" and the external SDHC cards is a plus... on board memory is almost non existant 128 megs.
The MinoHD... Has better neutral colors and shadows, that you can punch up later and a microphone jack for better sound... but the screen is to small, battery life is only 1 hour. I would need 2 of these to be able to shoot outdoors... imagine your, shooting the perfect hot scene, and "NO MORE BATTERIES" that would suck!
So i'm waiting on the Vado HD, It has a Wide Lens...YAH... so you get more in the shot when closer to the subject, good screen size helps to see what your getting in the shot. 2 hours of battery time is excelent.
Also has 8 Gigs of internal memory. I've scene some vids of it online.. they look good but there's no proof it came from the Vado.. it could have been recorded by anything or anyone... you need to see the setup to have the proof. ;) The only down side is it doesn't have 720p60 only 30 frames/sec. But then again the Zi6 which has 60 frames... automaticly switches to 15 frames per sec in low light.. not to smart.
Here's a link to Amazon of all places with some specs and Pre-Order... for USA Only.. so No Help For Me.
Ill post reviews when I get one in my hands... and you all can go see ArielRebel.com so see the new footage.. lol
I'll also post video reviews on Myspace ArielRebelonline or
TheAdventuresOfArielRebel.
Take Care
Hope you all get one for X-Mas!
