I dont own one of these but I would say most of these types of flips or vado or rca pocket vid cams do not do well in inside or “Indoor” light setting. Try you cam outside first before returning it.. From what you see in the room with your own eyes may “Seem” like good light but cameras do not pick up on ambient light like the human eye does. It needs far more light. So give your cam a try outside before returning it.. And others be sure to keep this in mind. I own the Creative Vado and the flip and both cams do not do well in a dark room or “Indoor” light bulb lighted room. Unless you are shooting this indoors in a “BRIGHT” “Fluorescent” shopping store type of room it will look graining no matter what cam you use.
I use the Vado and find the price to be a great price for a pocket vid cam.. Its also got the new built in software that works for “BOTH” Mac and PC’s just go to Creative site and download the new Mac Software. The Vado HD is fantastic for the 124.00 dollar price. The thing will record up to 8 hours of video. Has the software built into the camera but the biggest factor why I like the Vado its a “WIDE” angle Lens! Supper important when filming vacation stuff or parties or events as most other vid cameras the lens is too “Zoomed” in or narrow of viewing field. WHich makes for “VERY” shaky filming. The vado’s wide lens makes it great for group shots and scenics shots. It smoothes out the video shake. Its sort of like if you try shooting a video through a pair of Binoculars it will be all shaky. With a wide lens it eliminates that. I mean for 124 dollars and it films up to 8 hours of footage and is wide angle its the best bang for you buck. I admit the Flip Video HD mino is slick but its [...] bucks more money. For something you put in your pocket or give to the kids the vado is a easier on the wallet. Use the vado for the next 2 years by then their will be better res cameras with better mics on them and light sensitivity. Thats my opinion. In the meant time take advantage of the 124.00 price tag on a Vado HD. If you can check out the video footage of some guy on Face book that he taped of the “Tour De France” its amazing the quality. Look for that footage on Facebook. Its a asian family that takes the footage with the Vado HD at the Tour De France “Who would have known”

In tiny print on the back of the box (you’ll need a microscope to see it) it says that there is no SD card. Most people who buy a new video camera, like myself, don’t even know what an SD card is. Basically, it’s memory. You buy your camera, read the instructions, charge it, try it, it doesn’t work, try and try again, plug it into your computer, read the detailed manual, then find out that it just doesn’t work at all because there is no memory. This is basically a camera that doesn’t work.

I just got it an hour ago and shot a couple clips in a very well lit sunny room. The image was grainy and shaky (even though stabilization was on). I’m returning it immediately.
I previously owned a flip HD and have shot video in the same room and the quality is much better.
I’d consider myself a video expert, I use HDV Sony camcorders all time and do extensive video editing in Adobe After Effects.
Spend your money on a different compact camera…

I just got the camcorder 2 weeks ago. Tried it today, horrible. returned it immediately. I don’t know how JVC could make this junk. The other camcorders are so good!

I have one, and it works very well, no problems yet. It is used for assessing athletic performance,(Baseball,Soccer,Volleyball,Golf,Tennis,Track+Field,Gymnastics,Team Handball, ETC),gives the student instant feedback. Maybe I am just lucky, and received one that works well, time, and length of ownership will be the barometer.
