Disappointed in the 3rd gen lens, not nearly as wide

I've owned the 2nd Vado HD for some time now. The wide angle lens is what made this particular pocket cam very unique. And very usable. The sound quality left a lot to be desired, though.
I just bought the 3rd gen camera and find that the lens is not nearly as wide angle! Why Creative Labs chose to downgrade a KEY FEATURE of their camera totally escapes me. So now they've got a disppointed customer...
So they improved the sound on the 3rd gen, but diminished the lens. I'm now thinking about returning this camera. Creative Labs, are you listening?

After using the camcorder a lot for the past few days, I can now say my opinion of it has changed.
I am completely sastisfied with it, it's a great little camera!

  • HT201412 My ipod touch (3rd gen) is not responding at all. It wont turn off. It wont go into sleep mode. it wont connect to the computer or anything at all. also does not responed to touch. What do i do to make it work again?

    Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 3rd gen iPod not recognized when using Firewire

    The 3rd gen iPod only charges via FireWire. Given the lousy battery life provided by the device, I need to be able to sync using the Firewire port of my Macbook (Home) or my Macbook Pro (work). The device is not recognized by iTunes (or in general, no notices are given that would indicate that the device is connected). I have:
    - Restored the device via USB
    - Restored it to be Apple format (it was previously Windows format)
    - Confirmed that it DOES work with USB - but that's not what I want
    - Tried this on 2 laptops
    - Confirmed that charging via Firewire DOES work - so I'm assuming that the cable works as well
    Is there a diagnostic application that will tell me the status of the on-board firewire port?

    I luckily still had a PC around. I was able to reset it on the PC, then reformat on the Mac.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now. 

  • HT4059 After giving up the iPad2, I bought the 3rd gen.  I was happy with it until I tried to download my books.  All apps downloaded fine.  I'm still having trouble downloading the books.  Has anyone had this problem?

    This is my first time asking a question.  I'm guessing at what I need to do.  I don't see steps to follow and so...here goes!
    I have used the original iPad, the second gen, and now bought the 3rd gen.  I have had no trouble in downloading all my apps and books from one iPad to the next until I bought the iPad3.  Was this a mistake???
    I continue to have trouble viewing my books or PDFs through the iBook(shelf).  When going into the Apple Store, the tech and I were very confused.  He even messaged his boss.  We discovered that if we typed in the title, it would appear as "install."  If I clicked on "installation" I could reinstall it on my new iPad3.  Last week, before giving up my iPad2 to my district, I wanted more storage space.  The Apple tech noticed that I had 2 accounts.  Because they were for the iPads which I had returned, I deleted them which recovered a lot of memory.  Then, I bought the iPad3 and problems began!  Help!!!

    AT&T uses Yahoo for its webmail.  The only way to access mail without Yahoo is through e-mail software such as Entourage. (My MacBook's Mail software has never accepted the AT&T settings, so I gave up long ago.)
    When I first got the iPad about three weeks ago, I took a chance and selected the Yahoo account option to set up my incoming and outgoing mail servers. And the settings that the iPad chose worked beautifully. Until today.
    That might very well be part of my problem. However... why wasn't it a problem at all until about three hours ago? I'm a little afraid to change settings right now, in case it's just AT&T mucking around on their end this afternoon. I keep hoping it will just start working again.
    Full disclosure: I actually did get two messages to go through after I installed then deleted the Dropbox app. I was so happy. I thought it was fixed. But a second message -- and about ten subsequent messages -- did not go through. It's very hit or miss. But 99% of the time, the icon spins and the message doesn't go anywhere. The first time it happened, it told me the outgoing mail server wasn't available. The other times, there was nothing but spinning until I force-quit the Mail app in the dock. There's nothing in the outbox at all, perhaps because I quit before an autosave could occur.

  • Can I Exchange AppleTV 2nd Gen With The 3rd Gen?

    Hi this is my first time posting. I got my AppleTV in the mail using my dad's points he racked up this last year. He owns a company that buys supplies from another company so we end up getting a lot of points fast. We ordered our AppleTV in mid-January and we got it about 2 weeks ago (Not sure have to check that). I was wondering can I exchange it in the Apple Store when the 3rd gen come out?

    Hey, I had the same question, and I fully exchanged mine actually through an exchange listing on eBay.
    Here's the link:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exchange-Your-Apple-TV-2nd-Generation-For-A-BRAND-NEW-3r d-Generation/251208358335?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=015&category=163829&cmd=ViewIt em
    This guy is a top-rated plus powerseller, and he actually fully exchanged mine for a brand new 3rd gen.
    highly recommended.

  • HT5457 why dont you update the 3rd gen ipod touch to iOS 6?

    I have a 3rd gen ipod touch and don't have the money to get a newer ipod so why cant you make iOS 6 available for 3rd gen ipod touches?

    1) You are not talking to Apple here.  We are users just like you.
    2) The 3rd gen iPod does not have the hardware to be able to use iOS 6
    3) As of now, almost all available apps will also run on iOS 5.

    I also was able to complete the download after removing the Ethernet cable and connecting via wireless to my router.  This also fixed my problem of not being able to view my Photo Stream

  • Why is it that my ipad 3rd gen does not charge while connected to my laptop

    my ipad 3rd gen will not charge while connected to my laptop, just beside the battery meter it states not charging.

    Beacause the USB port of most computers don't supply sufficient current to properly charge it. It is best to charge it using the supplied power supply.

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • Why is the Beats Music app only available on the 3rd Gen Apple TV? This is very irritating.

    Why is the Beats Music app only available on the 3rd Gen Apple TV? This is very irritating.

    Apple TV 2 has reached the end of it's iOS updates. there really won't be any more and the focus will be mainly on the Apple TV 3.
    You can sell the ATV2  for a few hundred dollars on eBay because the ATV2 is special in a way that I can't mention here. Use the money to buy an ATV3.
    I am in no hurry to do so myself and will continue using my ATV2 for some time.
