 Great sound and great video quality August 25, 2010

I'm an amateur photographer. This summer, I have been shooting local rock bands and I wanted a dedicated video camera to capture their live audio and stage show (loud sound and low lighting). Everyone who has seen my band videos is amazed with the audio quality and video quality, even in low light. Wish it had 8 gig instead of 4.
I'll keep the 2d generation one instead of the 3d August 23, 2010

I was ready to buy this one, and then found out it only has 4 GB on-board memory. Where's the 8GB version? In my mind, until the 8-16GB versions come out, it's not worth upgrading. Even better: a memory expansion option. Until then, I'm staying with my older 8GB Vado.
 Better than expected August 15, 2010

after reading ALL the reviews I was so confused and ready to give up on any mini cam. I went ahead and bought it. To sum up my experience so far,,, all the bad reviews are just out of line. As far as no software for editing, most computers have software that functions fine with the VADO. There is also a ton of software available to buy on-line for about 30 dollars. The touch pad is NOT too sensitive. The photo quality was better than the reviewers. stated.
In Summary,, the bad reviews are just whiny from spoiled brats. It was an excellent product and very affordable!
Very Good Product July 9, 2010

Very good product. Very handy and easy to manipulate. The option permitting to flip from photo to video is a great feature that my 1st generation VADO-HD doesn't have.
Unfortunately, I bought it for $179 and it became $129 two days after without any possibility to get reimbursed for the difference from Amazon.
 NIce, but with reservations July 6, 2010

First I tried a refurbished one; it had the same problem as a new one so I'm pretty sure it's because of the firmware or something.
Positives: the video quality is one of the better ones out there (IMO), color balance is pretty good in both daylight and low light, nice wide screen lens to capture a lot, size and weight are nice, still pictures are good too.
NOT SO GOOD: no buttons so you don't know you're hitting them during playback or recording (having to hold strangely to avoid the flush "buttons"), even at its widest zoom you have to very careful of camera shake, case gets scratched super easy, when camera goes into standby you normally hit a button to wake it up - only sometimes it freezes and a power cycle is the only way to get it back.
The latter negatives made me return it. It's really too bad, b/c I like would've kept it had it not been for those issues.
