The Vado HD features true HDMI connectivity via an HDMI cable (not included) for a superior viewing experience on an HDTV. Take the Vado HD Pocket Video Cam with you everywhere you go and never miss a moment. Product specs include 720p high-definition video, wide-angle glass lens, 2x digital zoom, 4GB of video storage capacity, up to two hours of recording and playback per charge, up to four hours of recording time at 640x480 at 30 frames per second, HDMI and RCA connections for TV, one removable and rechargeable lithium battery, Vado Central software for simple video editing and sharing.

Vado HD will work with Windows XP (service pack 2) or Vista, and will also work with a Mac via iMovie and a download of Vado Central.

Large screen

The Creative Vado HD boasts a large 2" LCD screen to view what you're shooting giving you a better view of all the action as you record it. It enables you to review your videos whilst you're out, with a simple click of the play button.

Vado Central
Vado Central software enables you to quickly edit and load videos to YouTube

Share it

Upload your videos onto popular web sites such as YouTube, Photobucket or box.net instantly with the built-in Vado Central software! Share your day's fun and laughter with your family and friends!

High-definition video quality

Capture all your fun moments at an HD video resolution of up to 1280 x 720p! It also works great in dimly-lit environments. Most pocket camcorders record in lower than HD resolution, which is ok for the web, but when viewed on a large high definition television the lack of quality is apparent. With Vado HD you get high definition 720p quality recording, so your videos look great on a large TV.

Record all you want

The 4GB* internal memory (includes built-in software) and three recording modes give you the freedom to choose the video quality according to usage scenarios. If you want to have the maximum amount of recording time, you can record up to 4 hours of videos at VGA resolution. The lower VGA resolution will still look good on smaller PC screens or if you want to load videos to the web. At the higher end of the spectrum you can also record up to an hour of footage in stunning HD quality. If you want to watch your videos on your HDTV (HDMI cable not included), then this is the choice for you.

If you need more than 4GB of memory, there is also an 8GB version.

Wide-angle glass lens

Capture wider scenes and more action in your videos with the wide-angle glass lens. The precision-engineered glass lens produces sharper and clearer images, giving you professional-looking videos. You can also get a close-up of the action with the 2x digital zoom feature.

The Creative Vado HD comes with a built-in flexible USB connector
Comes with a built-in flexible USB connector for connecting to your PC or Mac

Need more juice? Just pop in the spare battery that comes with this package. You can also get a battery charger if you wish to.

Built-in flexible USB connector

The built-in flexible USB connector lets you connect to any computer easily without the need for messy cables. It is also extremely useful when using notebooks or PCs with awkwardly-built USB ports. When connected to your computer via the USB connector, the Vado HD will also recharge its battery.

I bought this item for £60 from Amazon and frankly did not expect too much for the price. I was so pleased to find that the quality of video was really good for what I wanted it for - i.e. simple family events, holidays, days out, checking out the golf swing etc. It is always ready to go - out of pocket and ready to shoot in about 3 seconds, faster if you want. It picks up sound well too and I have checked the specs for this 2nd generation camera and it really isn't worth paying any extra for 3rd gen unless you absolutely must have the latest version. It comes with an extra battery (not that I have needed it - recharging is so easy, just plug into your usb with the attached usb plug) and also with a flexible rubber case which gives it a bit of extra protection if you are hard on your gadgets - which I am. I hardly ever write reviews, but at £60 this little camera is so good for the money you simply cannot go wrong with it.

vado hd 13 Aug 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
i bought the vado because i wanted a HD video camera the size of a phone and this has proved to be a godsend, i can video anywhere and view it on any pc as it has its own viewing programme built in.The picture and sound quality is by far the best i have seen for a while,it is no pro camera and it is so easy to use just point and shoot.It has no single shot for photos but with the built in programme i can capture some very good HD photos.The only down side is taking video in low light can be a bit grainy but for £64 what can you expect.I carry the Vado around with me all the time and use it when i can. Its a great piece of kit

Pocket Camcorder 9 Sep 2010
By Herc
A nice covienient piece of gear. Watch the zoom because fat fingers can be clumsy and stop the filming. Serve's it's purpose (Filming Baby). Not good in low light. As evenings get darker this will be more evident but a normal light bulb indoors should do. I wouldnt use it outside after dark. If you want to do this then you'd be better off getting a traditional camcorder which may or may not do better. Some editing software may not work with the film files which if I'm right are avi (Not Sure) Magix video software didnt recognise the format but windows movie maker does and also Ulead which has been taken over by Coral Draw. PS Zoom function could be stronger. I am satisfied because it does what I brought it to do and I will have lots of footage of my beautifull baby girl. A plus is that it came with a spare battery. When I checked a battery cost around £12.
