Camcorder Digital : Compare Creative Vado Camcorder with Flip Video Camera

Executive Summary about : Camcorder Digital  By www.labnol.org

Creative has launched a pocket sized video camera called the Vado Cam to compete with Flip Video which currently is the best-selling video camcorder at Amazon.

When it comes to features, Vado and Flip video cameras are very similar - both allow one-click video recording and also sport a built-in USB connector to quickly transfer video from the camera to your PC or Mac.

Size & Weight: If you compare the size of these two video camcorders, Vado (represented in blue) is much thinner than The Flip camera (yellow) - the width and height are roughly the same so both can easily slip in your shirt pocket. The Flip weighs around 136 grams while Vado is just 84 grams.

LCD Screen: Vado has a slightly larger screen at 2″ (640×480) while Flip’s screen size is 1.5″ (280×120 pixels) - both however shoot video at 640×480 resolution but the screen display will be much better in the case of Vado.

Recording Capacity & Format: The $99 Flip can record up to 30 minutes of video (512 MB internal memory) but with Vado, you can shoot video footage for up to 2 hours since it has 2GB memory. Battery: Flip Video uses the regular AA batteries while Vado is fitted with a rechargeable battery that can easily be removed - another advantage for Creative.

Overall: The Flip introduced the concept of pocket sized video cameras and they have received some great reviews from experts like David Pogue and Walt Mossberg. However, Creative’s Vado camera definitely has the potential to unseat Flip from the top slot because it’s thin, light and offers much more storage space.

So should you buy Creative’s Vado Camera or Flip Video ?
