    I bought this to record my Grandsons Christening, and I am completely delighted with it. It looks like a mobile phone, so its really easy to carry around in your handbag or pocket, and its so easy to use. The quality of the picture is excellent, indoors and outside. Altogether a brilliant little piece of equipment.

    I'm a technophobe when it comes to video so I was looking for something that was extremely simple to use but that also provided excellent quality clips.

    I'd looked at the Flip but as a fan of other Creative products, thought I'd give the Vado a try. And its brilliant.

    Once you get the hang of how the controls work, its a no brainer to record a video, play it back and upload it either to your pc or youtube. Just a tip - I couldn't connect the software to my youtube account (it wouldn't recognise my account details) but its easy enough to copy the video to the desktop and upload it from there.

    Excellent value for money - cheap, looks great and creates high quality clips.

    One of my Neighbours bought The Vado to a BBQ we had. What a great product!!! He captured all those embarrasing drunken moments of us all. I was so impressed I have bought one myself...along with probably all the other neighbours.

    The great things about this product are firstly It's so easy to use. From taking it out of the packaging to shooting my first video it did literally take a couple of minutes. (The Vado comes with a part charged battery- Great Idea)

    Product is suprisingly light and alot thinner than I expected which is a definate bonus as my partner now carries it everywhere to video our young son. We already have loads of footage, quality is fine even when hooking it up to the LCD and the screen is good enough to playback and view.

    Uploading took a little longer than simply shooting a video but all the software is included,quick set up guide is straight forward and the Vado Central software does the rest to You Tube

    If Gordon Ramsey was talking you through the Vado he'd say

    record it - view it - upload it ...Done!

    Happy Shooting!!!!
