Creative Technology has announced the Middle East launch of the third generation Creative Vado HD pocket video camera, which combines a sleek design with excellent HD video quality.

The launch of the camera comes at a time when the regional consumer electronics market is witnessing steady growth, especially in the UAE where this segment is expected to be worth $3.9 billion by 2013, said a statement.

“We have won prestigious awards and accolades for the great performance, ease of use and compact form of our Vado HD cameras. The third generation Vado HD brings a cool new design and adds additional features to the already award-winning feature set,” said Steve Erickson, vice president and general manager for audio and video at Creative.

Building on the great features the Creative Vado HD line is already known for, such as HDMI out and a wide-angle lens, the third generation Creative Vado HD adds important additional features such as improved quality of video in low light or brightly lit conditions with manual exposure adjustments; external stereo microphone support for better audio recording; motion detection mode that enables users to programme the camera to begin recording as soon as motion is detected; still photo capture mode; headphone output for private listening; and out-of-the box Mac and PC compatibility.
