Hi Chris,

I think it’s time to update this thread with more comparison.

One will be with RCA ez209hd and also sony webbie (they have two models).

Or maybe you already did and just haven’t posted any review?

Jeez… They all look very good! I have gotta say though that it is hard to determine which is better in a still life. They are primarily video camcorders so to decide between them in sitll lives without frame rate and audio consideration is very hard. I reakin though that the flip mini HD is the best. I prefer the very well defined images even if that means more contrast. The Zi6 tends to pick up less light and colour but blends colour better together. The least I favour has to be the Vado due to it’s lense capturing too much orange colour for my liking but also having a slight tiny of green. It is very close and a hard call to decide.

I like the Vado, but it makes the clouds look greenish at the sides. I think the second best is the Flip hands down! It picks up color for still images the best!

I prefer the Vado HD as well, but if you really want to get your feet wet you should check out the color space in the high end Panasonic HD cameras–I work with the HPX3000 and the color space is ridiculously good, shots of people reading the phonebook look breath-taking.

Creative Vado for sure!! Beautiful!

Followed a bit behind by Kodak. The Flip is just “okay”.

I agree. The Creative Vado HD has the best picture quality. The colors are more true than both the Zi6 and the Mino HD. I just wish I would have seen these comparisons before I went out and bought my Zi6. I’ll just have to be happy with what I have.
