Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black) Decide Now

Two completely different experiences in one day.

First - software launches flawlessly on one computer.

Second - on #2 computer reads "USB device unrecognized." I did multiple re-boots, attempted to re-load firmware & software, etc. for two hours. I ended up disconnecting the battery to restart then running computer in safe mode to get things working.

Lesson: Disable anything that may try to read the device before plugging in.

Per the camera; For $100 more you get the fully functional camera of your dreams. This camera is very limited but works for those "spontaneous" occasions when you don't want to point a camera. A $150 "style" accessory.

PROS: Rapid charge, cables, quick turn on. Shows time & battery remaining easily. Minimal confusion.

NEXT MODEL: Do an optical zoom, even with a manual slider, stereo mics. Allow for taking video while wall charging. Include flash card slot. Needs better color rendering, stablizer, disc based improved software, and a kickstand. Super extra: have a digital level on screen to show when even.Get more detail about Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black).
