Creative's Vado HD 720p pocket camcorder now on sale for $199.99

It was up for pre-order late last month, but now Creative's proper successor to the Vado (that'd be the Vado HD) is finally on sale and ready to ship. For those with incredibly short memories, this 720p pocket cam boasts HDMI connectivity, 8GB of inbuilt memory for up to two hours of HD footage, a carbon black chassis, 2-inch LCD screen and an integrated USB connector for easy exporting. As for pricing, the MSRP sits at $229.99, but even Creative's own webstore is offering it for $199.99.

The size and price are certainly attractive, but no optical zoom is a bit of a concern, and no optical image stabilization means that YouTube videos are likely to still be very shaky.
