Thoughts on this camera?

Any thoughts on this camera compared to the Flip? Primarily for swing recording?


Creative Vado

Thanks!

I'm not qualified to comment on cameras but getting one to record your swing sounds like a great idea.

Half the price.

Half the price.

Actually Costco has the Creative for $99 as well right now.

Jamo - How is the Kodak in indoor lighting for recording your swing?

unless you are very familiar with downloading/configuring codecs, etc stay away from the Insignia NS-DV 1080P $99 option. I happily received one as a surprise gift on Christmas. It's video quality is OK for what you pay for, but the software it comes with is a joke. The software does not enable you to edit videos and keep the sound. The software doesn't support 1080p.

The Creative doesn't do 60 FPS, does it? So for that reason alone I'd choose any of the Kodaks... Zi6, Zx1 or whatever it's called, or Zi8. The latter two take remotes, I think. Casio still cameras, even the $250 ones, do really high speed video.

Eric - I don't believe so after looking around. I think the Creative only does 30. Looks like the Kodak is a better option.

I got the Kodak Zx1 for Christmas. It does 60 fps and is dead easy to use. It cost $99 and is weather resistant, which may help if you are bringing it to the range or on the course.
