Why is this a "deal??

"Deal" is a word referring to things that cost significantly less than they otherwise would. So for example, if a product is offered for $130 but has not recently been available for anything close to that price, we would call it a "deal." I hope this helps.

If you know a better price for this item or a similar HD pocket camcorder, post it here.

Kodak Zx1. 720p and 60hz. The Vado is 720p and 30hz.

Chris Pirillo compares the Kodak, Flip and Vado (with videos of all 3) and prefers the Vado.

keep in mind everyone that this is the gold box price...so it will only be available for a limited time.

You never know. Sometimes Amazon has a "gold box" sale price one day, then the next week that becomes the regular price. This camera model came out last fall, so a replacement will probably come out later this year. I would not be surprised if Amazon is closing out the old model to make room for the new product.

I bought it a while ago. It's awesome. Of course you can't compare it to a real camcorder with real lens. But the video looks great 720p on my 40" lcd screen. Another thing that I like is how good it adjust the exposure when I switch from bright light to dark area. And the angle is pretty wide, makes you feel like you are a part of the story when you watch the video.

Got it.
