Pros: Great video quality Great sound quality GREAT PRICE!!!
I wanted to take higher res vids than i could with my point and shoot. That's what this does. I can carry it in my pocket and its no more bothersome than a cell phone. Very few options makes setup simple: Choose vid quality then record! YOU CAN CHANGE THE BATTERY!!!!! I bought mine directly from Creative because NewEgg doesn't sell them.
Cons: Buttons need to pushed deliberately to respond. Not that big of a deal but. Sometimes the screen blanks out but i pull the battery and its fine. Very light which makes it feel a bit cheap, but i feel confident it will last quite a while. Good video quality means large file about a MEG per second set to "HD+", but its MUCH better than VGA. The instant record option WILL kill the battery a lot quicker than just turning it off. I dont use this anymore unless i know ill be recording again very quickly. I also carry a backup battery so..... Not really cons just small things i would have like to have known before hand.
Other Thoughts: I would buy another if i lost this one. The main reason i bought this as apposed to other brands is the ability to change the battery out.
Thanks NEWEGG!!!1!!
Im posting a short video just to show the HD+ settings video quality. I dont know if this site will support the file types but.....

Pretty good

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Size and accessories included; silicon case, hdmi cable, easy but basic software and built in usb cable.
Cons: Battery charging time, position of the built in usb is not that great. Whites turn to pink but every other color is pretty accurate. Really dissapointing with bright light. The white seems to be saturated much more and turns a pixelated pink color when played back. I read on other sites that certain software programs can help but eliminate the white/pink issue. Night recording is not good and is choppy.
Other Thoughts: A tripod should be included because the built in usb hinders self portraits because its at the bottom of the camcorder and sticks out making it impossible to balance. Software could be slightly more creative but for the prce its on par with what other camcorders give you.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: overall everything is decent for the price. not great but no major complaints so far
Cons: the hdmi connector is hell to get to with the plastic covering that comes with it. Brightness gets to be an issue if full lighting is not on
Other Thoughts: wouldnt buy again but would recommend to super beginners of hand held camcorders.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this for a trip I took across country, and I am 100% satisfied with the results. For 120 bucks (now I see it's 90), it's a complete no-brainer if you don't already have a video capture device. It's light, small, durable (I dropped it a few times), and the battery lasts quite a while. It does indeed record up to 2 hours on the HD+ setting, and the quality is exceptional. Sound quality is pretty decent too. Built in HDMI allows for easy plug and play into your HDMI capable monitor/HDTV. Video software makes it easy to chop up your videos and upload them to youtube.
Cons: It does tend to get washed out on outdoor brights, but does adjust as best it can. Battery life runs well short of the capture time limit.
Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a good, low cost video capture device, pick this little puppy up.

Pros: Really compact--smaller than the competition. Video quality is really nice. Price is right.
Cons: None yet.
Other Thoughts: Keep in mind this and the new Vado HD models use the same electronics. Get the model with the best price--performance will be the same.
