CHEAP VIDEO: Reader Corey Appleby writes: “You’ve probably seen this, but Amazon has Creative Labs’ Vado HD camcorder on sale today for $129.99.” I hadn’t, but that’s a pretty good deal. It’s 80 bucks less than the Flip Mino HD, which gets similar reader ratings. (I’ve got the Flip Mino, and I know I promised a post about it, but for now all I can say is that it’s great for the price and works fine.)

UPDATE: Reader Don Brockette says the video quality on the Vado is so-so. On my Flip Mino it’s pretty good — not as good as my fancy Sony, but pretty good, and at a much lower price and smaller footprint.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reviews. Here’s one for the Flip Mino HD. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the Flip and the Kodak Zi6. And here’s a review of the Vado.
