| Bottom line | Though the Creative Vado HD 3rd Gen doesn't do quite enough to distinguish itself from the competition, it does offer some nice improvements over earlier Vado HD models that keep it relevant in the pocket camcorder space. | The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video. | The Samsung HMX-W300 rugged minicamcorder is a good traveling companion for capturing Web-friendly movie clips and photos of your next hike or beach trip. | Info unavailable | Info unavailable |
