About ten years back we thought we were just about the coolest kid on the block when we bought a 15-oz., palm-sized camcorder.Though it cost about as much as a desktop computer at the time, we loved that thing and dragged it everywhere, annoying our camera-shy friends at every turn. In the last year or so though we haven’t used it much, having grown tired of lugging it along with all our other more essential gadgets.
And frankly we miss our little video buddy, so we’re going to donate it to charity and replace it with the Vado HD, the 3.5 oz pocket-sized mini-camcorder from Creative Labs.
It comes with all the traditional bells and whistles of a mini-camcorder, plus a larger screen and a removable, rechargeable battery, so you can swap batteries as needed.
Better yet, it gets very solid reviews on cnet.com – our gadget-buying bible – and can be had for about $125 on Amazon.
