MaxRebel I'm was thinking of getting one of these (Kodak Zi6 or Flip MinoHD) to Record Ariel Rebel from ArielRebel.com But then I fell onto the Vado HD...and there is no looking back!!!
"For those special moments a Big Camera can't be seen you need pocket HD"
Anyone Should be able to get some good Hidden in Store footage with the Vado its small and has a Wide lens that will help... Not having a Wide Lens like the flip... hurts the field of vision and makes camera shake more apparent..
I've looked at the Kodak Zi6... But the Colors are too Punchy, The lens is decently wide.. Sound is too Aggressive.. you hear every motor humm and the skin looks off... not good for Sexy Videos! And were all going to use it once or twice for some sort of Sexy Nude Video. It has a very good screen size 2.4" and the external SDHC cards is a plus... on board memory is almost non existant 128 megs.
The MinoHD... Has better neutral colors and shadows, that you can punch up later and a microphone jack for better sound... but the screen is to small, battery life is only 1 hour. I would need 2 of these to be able to shoot outdoors... imagine your, shooting the perfect hot scene, and "NO MORE BATTERIES" that would suck!
So i'm waiting on the Vado HD, It has a Wide Lens...YAH... so you get more in the shot when closer to the subject, good screen size helps to see what your getting in the shot. 2 hours of battery time is excelent.
Also has 8 Gigs of internal memory. I've scene some vids of it online.. they look good but there's no proof it came from the Vado.. it could have been recorded by anything or anyone... you need to see the setup to have the proof. ;) The only down side is it doesn't have 720p60 only 30 frames/sec. But then again the Zi6 which has 60 frames... automaticly switches to 15 frames per sec in low light.. not to smart.
Here's a link to Amazon of all places with some specs and Pre-Order... for USA Only.. so No Help For Me.
Ill post reviews when I get one in my hands... and you all can go see ArielRebel.com so see the new footage.. lol
I'll also post video reviews on Myspace ArielRebelonline or
TheAdventuresOfArielRebel.
Take Care
Hope you all get one for X-Mas!
Creative's $200 Vado HD pocket camcorder ready for pre-order
Engadget —
We've seen these Amazon "leaks" time and again. So while the December 7th date for the Vado HD might be an educated guess, the details including that $200 price tag certainly look real enough. The display still measures 2-inches, but the beefier 3.3 x 7.9 x 6.3-inch solid state camcorder now brings 8G of storage for up to 2 hours of 720p MPEG-4 recordings -- 8 hours at VGA ...
Creative Vado HD Up For Pre-order
Ubergizmo —
Creative's Vado HD look good for a December 7th release on Amazon, retailing for just $200, making this a suitable impulse purchase for the upcoming holiday season. You will still get the same 2" display which might not be too suitable for playback and reviews, but it does come with 8GB of internal storage that allows you to store up to 2 hours of 720p MPEG-4 recordings, while ...
