I have found the video quality of this camcorder to be consistent with its price, which in the end isnt too shocking. What surprised me is that the video quality, even on the highest HD quality setting, is still far below the HD quality of my Kodak camera which is not even a dedicated video camera like the Creative. My Kodak camera is a digital still camera which also records in 720P. The indoor video quality of the Creative is very soft, lacking the clear, sharp imagery one would expect from 720P.
The Creative is very use to use, and it is basically idiot proof. One button to turn it on, one to record, and two very limited zoom and zoom-out buttons.
Whether the ease of use outweighs your need for higher quality will of course depend on your needs. If you are shooting any footage that will have sentimental value to you, like family, children, etc, I would recommend spending more money on a higher quality camera. If you are shooting buddies at parties, or goofing off to post videos on You Tube, the ease of use of this camera is worth the lower quality, assuming such footage isnt something you value as much as your babys first steps.
The attractive pricing of this camcorder clearly places it in the low-end of expected performance. As long you are picking the right camera for your intended use, and this fits into that objective, you will probably like thuis camera, despite its lower quality.

It is great for all the youtube and web recordings.
the cons: there is no image stabilization so the video can get shaky
I used final cut pro to edit the videos as iMovie wasnt able to. I imported them using iPhoto.

the Vado HD itself is surprisingly light, even with the battery inserted!
(when inserting the battery, the side with information goes up)
the controls are simple and easy to use.
but it also lacks different options when taking a video, besides the three video qualities (HD+, HD, VGA).
video quality is great, but I havent owned any other ultra portable video camcorder.
***AUDIO SYNC ISSUE (and my fix)
the audio/video sync issue many people experience can be solved by watching the video on a higher spec computer.
Or you can try getting a better codec for your own computer
(which you should, as HD videos are becoming more and more common) as i did.
my specs are
AMD Athlon x2 Dual-Core QL-64 2.10Ghz
2gb of DDR2 RAM
Radeon 3100 with shared memory
32-bit Win7
used GOM player to view recorded videos
i recorded a clip of my girlfriend brushing her teeth (~30 sec),
connected the Vado to my laptop, and watched the video.
I did not notice any audio sync problems, but it was a very short video.
Then I proceeded to test the Vado Central software, which wanted me to install a codec.
Then later when i watched the video again, (not with Vado Central, I used GOM player)
I noticed significant audio sync issue!
So i uninstalled the codec Vado Central gave me, then installed CoreAVC,
changed GOM player setting to not use internal codec so that it will use CoreAVC,
and my video was in perfect sync again.
so if you encounter this sync issue, try finding a better codec (h.264) before you throw away your old computer.
(I think the codec that Vado Central wants you to install isnt very efficient...)

Im enjoying this camera and its been great for sharing videos with friends and family. The camera isnt much bigger than a deck of cards and is very intuitive to use. I like how the camera shoots people at only a few feet like across a table or in a room. I researched the various cameras in this class and the Vado HD seems to have the best ratings for that particular kind of shooting and I have been happy with it.
One thing to note, shooting in HD video generates huge files. I use a netbook as my primary computer and uploading HD files is not good for the gerbils inside my little Aspire One. This isnt a knock on the Vado HD, but people new to these cameras (like me) should note that the file size of these videos and the demands on your computer will be far greater than most things you are used to doing on a computer and it will take a bit of adjusting.

This was my first flip camera. The ease of use and comfort are an easy winner for any video that captures the moment. The video results are more than I expected . I liked the software from Vado to make slideshows and snapshots. When a neighbor wanted to send a video clip for an anniversary , I first chose my old device , which seemed to be more appropriate. But, the flip came to he rescue and delivered a gem . Moments later , the neighbor wanted one ,too , which will capture her children in sporting events.
The Creative model suits all my purposes . The controls are easy to use , even with the enclosed pliable cover. And, under 15 minutes , I had the videos online to share with friends and family. Now, that is a measure of success well over my older video cam . The difference is a cumbersome carry case versus a Flip that can be easily placed in a jeans pocket for instant usage. The only negative was that I purchased this from your site and today I found that its 40 dollars cheaper on Ecost , and not refurbished . With that thought , Im buying another one for my Family.
