Creative Vado HD

Promise

A new handheld video camera – this time in high-def.

Performance

Vado records up to two hours of HD footage on its 8GB memory and downloads direct to your computer with a fold-out USB plug, so no cable to lose either. Optional extras include a waterproof pouch for recording under damp conditions – and the whole caboodle is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.

Verdict

Having an HD version of a video camera that in normal form can now be found for under £50 means that you’ve got to be some serious extreme sports fan to go for it. The pic quality is amazing, of course – if that’s what you need.
