Creative Vado point and shoot camcorder

Creative's new Vado camcorder may not be able to shoot high definition video, but if you're just after something light and portable to carry with you then it's more than up to the job.

It can only record video at a resolution of 640x480, which is slightly lower than DVD quality but more than enough if you're planning on uploading your footage to the internet. The Vado also comes preloaded with its own YouTube upload application, so getting your footage on the video sharing site is a doddle.

As it's not capturing as much data as an HD camcorder, it can store two hours of footage on its 2GB memory. It will also last two hours when fully charged, so you don't need to worry about it running out of juice.

The Vado will be available soon, pricing has yet to be decided. For more information, see Creative.
