Digital Home Thoughts: Creative Vadro HD 3rd Generation Now Available

"See it, shoot it, and share it - all in high definition. Creative's third generation Vado HD Pocket Video Camera makes it easier than ever to record outstanding videos in 720p high-definition quality. Featuring a new, ultra-stylish design, the Vado HD (3rd Gen) is slim enough to fit in your pocket, yet its 4GB memory capacity holds up to 120 minutes of widescreen HD-quality videos or 7,000 HD quality stills. With instant one-touch recording and built-in software, you'll be watching, sharing, and editing outstanding videos with ease."

Creative have released the 3rd generation of it's pocket video camera, the Vadro HD. There only seems to be a few differences between the 2nd generation and this new one that I can see from the specs. The major differences seem to be the addition of touch sensitive buttons to the new look case, and it now records in mp4 (H.264, AAC) format compared with AVI (H.264, AAC) on the 2nd gen version, which allows you to upload to more sites without converting. It has the same 4GB of memory as the 2nd generation, the same screen resolution, the same battery life and the same price of $179. If you're looking for a cheap HD video recorder that fits in your pocket for those on the spur moments such as parties, then it could be worth a look.
