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

I was concerned that this camera didn't have an optical zoom or stabilization. My workarounds are to think of it as a still camera with a live view screen & audio. I record several very short segments almost every day as a sort of video diary. I make a "click" to show when the camera is still enough to do a screen capture for a still image. And I move the camera very close to the subject (subject is out of focus but still quite viewable even at a few inches) to give direction, then pull back to get it in good focus.

The rubber protector is ugly but does the job.

Super easy to use, turn on from side switch, press on, the off. I'm using it a lot more than I expected because it is always at hand.

If left connected to the USB cable the battery gets SUPER hot, so be sure to unplug when the full light comes on.Get more detail about Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black).
