 Very Good Product July 9, 2010
Richard Lefebvre (Richford, Vermont, US)
Very good product. Very handy and easy to manipulate. The option permitting to flip from photo to video is a great feature that my 1st generation VADO-HD doesn't have.
Unfortunately, I bought it for $179 and it became $129 two days after without any possibility to get reimbursed for the difference from Amazon.
 NIce, but with reservations July 6, 2010
Darrell J. Lew (Oakland, CA)
First I tried a refurbished one; it had the same problem as a new one so I'm pretty sure it's because of the firmware or something.
Positives: the video quality is one of the better ones out there (IMO), color balance is pretty good in both daylight and low light, nice wide screen lens to capture a lot, size and weight are nice, still pictures are good too.
NOT SO GOOD: no buttons so you don't know you're hitting them during playback or recording (having to hold strangely to avoid the flush "buttons"), even at its widest zoom you have to very careful of camera shake, case gets scratched super easy, when camera goes into standby you normally hit a button to wake it up - only sometimes it freezes and a power cycle is the only way to get it back.
The latter negatives made me return it. It's really too bad, b/c I like would've kept it had it not been for those issues.

I ordered the Vado 3rd Gen after reading a gazillion reviews and watching an equal number of clips on YouTube. I had certainly been warned about people's perceived negatives, but the video clips and the fact that the camera has options that similar camcorders do not motivated me to give it a try. I have to say right off the bat that IMO Creative is shooting itself in the foot by not making its user guide more comprehensive, and not addressing a lot of the concerns and "what the .....?" issues many, many people have expressed about operating the device. Neither the firmware nor the software were designed to be particularly intuitive - and I'm not a newbie either to devices or computers. I almost put it right back in the box and returned it due to these issues, and I know a lot of people leaving these reviews have done exactly that. However, after an email to Customer Support (which was answered within 24 hours) my major problem was solved and I was okay with the rest. I have experimented with a few videos, mostly indoor shots, and I'm not bowled over by the indoor quality, even in HD+ (which takes FOREVER to process on my core 2 duo with 3GB of RAM). The outdoor quality seems fine. I very much appreciate, however, and think I will be able to adjust to and work with the ability to increase or decrease exposure, and the zoom. Those two features, plus the wide angle, make it a keeper for me at this point. I do definitely see what people mean about the buttons. Sigh. I tried the lock, but it wouldn't shoot the video if you lock it before you start - which is what most people would want to do, to avoid pushing a button once you do start to shoot. I guess you have to start shooting and THEN push lock. Still experimenting with that. The upload to Facebook was a snap, very easy, and relatively quick for a 10 sec video shot in HD. The very latest issue of Vado Central 3.0.02 has enough function for me, though it's nothing fancy. It does more than I thought it would, from people's comments. It's pretty close to what I got out of Moviemaker when I had a Flip. At this point, I give the Vado 4 stars for quality, and I give Creative 1 star for really dropping the ball with their instructions on use. Will update this in a week or so as far as video quality.
Creative Labs Vado 3rd Gen -Excellent Widescreen Pocket Camcorder June 22, 2010
Denise Hamlin (Coralville, Iowa)
Mostly I agree with what others have written here. Despite a couple of minor irritations, like the easily smudged casing and the over-sensitive buttons this is a fantastic camcorder for the price. The fact that it's wide screen puts it light years ahead of the rest. (Image stabilizer would be nice, but you can't have everything). I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that it's impossible to find 3rd party editing software for it and the included software sucks. Before you buy this be aware of that. There's probably something out there, but up to now I haven't been able to find it. Like I said though, apart from that this is a great little pocket cam.
