Vado HD vs. Kodak Zi6 - Side by Side Test

Creative's Vado HD has a superior wide angle lens, better color reproduction/white balance as you can see in the side by side comparison. There was no post-processing at all. The audio is from the Zi6 which is better than the Vado's microphone.

Both cameras beat the pants off the Flip Mino HD, as seen in other side-by-side tests.

One note: the macro lens on Zi6 is stunning. The Vado HD does not have this feature so there was no way to do a side-by-side test of this. Fixed at a focal length of 2", the Zi6 macro gets amazing close-ups. See my other posts for this effect.

The Zi6 is DEFINITELY HD60. It has two modes, 720p 30fps and 720p 60 fps. That's HD60 for your info.

Trust me, I'm a multi-Emmy winning broadcaster.

Nice side-by-side comparison .. Vado seems much crisper and has a much wider lens !!

Hey, Interested in buying the Creative Vado, but I have a few questions for you:

-Which Generation Creative Vado HD camera do you have?

-and were you shooting this in (HD+ quality), 2 hours (HD quality), or 4 hours (VGA quality)?
