Customer Review

I have never ever owned a full-featured video camera as I think that they were too bulky to carry around with me. So when pocket HD camcorders became available, I wasted no time in getting myself one. They are as small as a point-and-shoot digital camera (if not smaller) and have the ability to record amazing HD videos. Of all the HD pocket camcorders out there, I choose the new Creative Vado HD (2nd generation for many reason). For one, it looks really good.

Customer Review

Panasonic may not have as many camcorder models as other major manufacturers but when they do roll out a new model, you can be rest assured that it will be a very competent device.
