Sony's mic is more sensitive than Vado's which is good, but it also records a lot of "background noise" and wind. Both are great pocket "HD"-like camcorders, imo better than the Flip Mino HD due to its built-in and non-removable battery, smaller screen size, and its smaller (4GB/1hr) on-board and non-expandable memory ! ..
