Hey there, I'm in the market for Flip MinoHD, Creative Vado HD, or Kodak Zi6 ... picked up the Flip but now reconsidering the Vado due to wider camera angle in videos, added gigs and hdmi-out support. Anyone have any opinions on these and/or know of any deals to get them at a good price?

Good deal, I ended up going with the Flip because I felt the image looked a bit more natural but the Vado is tempting at that price. I would definitely say that in terms of the research I've done, it's a close contest between the Flip and the Vado .. the kodak is a bit too bulky to be a good contender.

Both Amazon and Creative.com both have the Vado HD in stock now. Any coupon codes? How does one go about finding them?

I know Sony is usually a love/hate thing....but they have a new "Webbie" camcorder. They have the flip style or regular camcorder style

I saw it and the flip part I think makes more sense but it doesn't have any memory which mean's I have to go out of my way, bend over and take it up the ass from Sony to buy a memory stick JUST for their crap. No thanks.

As for this Creative... well, I'll probably sell it unless someone on here wants it. I haven't opened it.
