Creative Vado HD back to $129 at Amazon
See the USB plug? You shoot your video and then connect it to your computer via that USB connector to copy the videos over to your hard drive. It’s just like the Flip and Flip HD in that respect. One major difference is that the Vado HD has a wider-angle lens than the Flip (which I consider to be a big plus). I shot some footage simultaneously on the Vado HD and Flip HD and will be posting a comparison one of these days.
At the moment, Amazon’s page for the Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder doesn’t list a price, and you have to place it in your cart to find out that it’s $129.99 with free shipping. I expect this price will last Amazon’s sold out again and then subsequently their page will list the higher price of the item from one of the other vendors who sell the camera on Amazon.
I posted my impressions of the camera the last time it was on sale at this price. You can also read more about the deal on this camera at the Fatwallet Hot Deals forum, and that forum thread includes comparisons of the camera’s image quality to other solid-state camcorders as well as links to reviews.
