XLNT Mini-HD Movie Camera-Best of the Bunch of Them!!

"This camera is fun, easy to use, works with PC or Mac (surprisingly good on multiple Macs!...more about that in a minute), just like the other knowledgeable reviewers wrote, and best of all it makes an XLNT 720P HD image for viewing on 40" and larger HDTV's. There are caveats to using the Vado HD, but they are few, and just simple common sense would tell you these things if it weren't for reviews and manufacture..." Read Full Review »

My previous "video cam" was a 5 year old Sony Cybershot 4MP camera with video features. The audio quality by comparison is much louder and clearer than my VADO HD. Eight Gigs of built in memory gives you up to 2 ho..." Read Full Review »
