    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!

    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.

    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.
