Creative.com has the Creative Vado 8GB HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder for $229.99 - $100 (with code VADOHDFRIENDS) = $129.99 with free shipping. Thanks SackaNub

This is the exact same deal that was up about a month ago on Amazon. Very pleased with the VADO. Am able to hook it up directly to my PC and Receiver with the integrated USB cable and the included mini-HDMI cable, respectively.

Absolutely amazing. My friend has one (I think the normal version) and he was bragging about it's great quality. Now I am definitely getting the HD version!!!!

Excellent find, thanks!

I got in on the Amazon deal and love my HD Vado! Great price here, if you're considering one now's the time to jump!

souldism0rphia · 03-16-2009, 01:16 PM

is this the best mini recorder out there for this price level?

^^yes

vimeo has samples of the vado hd video quality in hd: link [vimeo.com]

looks pretty good for the price but don't expect anything too nice with the digital zoom and motion jerkiness.

The web page doesn't ajust the tax for the price after coupon. The tax is over $16.00 on a $129.99 total purchase.

i bought this last month and it is awesome....i don't have to get my camcorder out when my kids do something cute and i can upload to youtube in a jiffy....

**txp135** · 03-16-2009, 01:23 PM

They are charging me tax on the retail price!

not trying to thread crap, but how much better is this than a P&S camera with 720p recording capability? with just 2x digital zoom and no still picture capability, it seems like the P&S would be a better option.

I would pick one up if it takes SDHC memory card. According to the specs, it's 8GB INTERNAL memory [creative.com]. The 8GB include the software on it too which makes it < 8GB. If you expect to use this on a trip, this may not be for you as you may have to carry your laptop around if running out of memory. But this is a great home video cam though.

Me too :-/... but still a heck of a deal... REPPED... was considering this or the minoHD... but at this price.. :-) Vado wins :-)
