    Comments about Creative Labs Vado Pocket Video Camera (Silver):

    This was actually a Christmas gift for my parents, but I chose it because I own a similar Vado (HD version) and love it.

    I thought they could use a dead-simple, easy-to-operate video camera that can just as simply upload to a computer. The onboard software was the clincher - there isn't a separate installation disk with software that must be installed on every computer with which you use the camera. Instead, when you unfold the USB from the back of the Vado, you can plug it into the USB port of any computer and modify the video (edit, add effects, etc.) instantly. I didn't find this to be necessarily true of the competing Flip camera.

    For what it is, I love this video camera. It's been durable for me, and I've experienced battery life that is true to the description Creative gives. True, you will find you can't zoom very much at all and you're videos will often be shaky (unless you have a steadier hand than me). The sound doesn't match the video quality either. But it's an excellent little camera to slip into your pocket so you can capture the moments in life that you can take back and save forever. It's perfect for that. I really do highly recommend it.

    Comments about Creative Labs Vado Pocket Video Camera (Silver):

    Super easy to operate, and does a good job in terms of getting basic quality video for youtube etc. Don't expect high quality video you could play full screen, but for quick online clips shot in concerts, trips or parties - this is perfect!
