I have this one, bought in the UK (but not from this seller). It has served me well with over 18months trouble free use and I have found a 16GB microT card is sufficient for several hours of continuous use until the card is full, then the files are overwritten by new video (oldest files first). I personally have never tried anything larger than 16GB in mine so cannot comment on anything larger, but if you did not want any files from a really long trip being overwritten then you could carry a spare card? The microT cards are those found on most mobile phones and fit into a SD adapter for direct reading on your PC. Always buy your cards from a reputable source as there are loads of cheap/fake cards floating around, especially on e-bay! HTH

I am interested in this camera.....but a bit confused by the advert....does it record both lenses at the same time? If so, can you decide which image is being displayed on the screen? IE, if it records both lenses together, can you just set it to just show the forward facing lense?
Cheers

the thing that buts me off is that most of them only record for 5 mins then record over it,so if you have a crash by the time you have checked everyone is okay the camera has recorded new stuff

Any decent dash cam will have a G shock sensor that automatically saves both the previous 30 seconds before any sensed impact/sharp decrease in speed etc, & the 30 seconds after and 'locks' the video file so it cannot be overwritten

Looking on Fleabay it is a bit of a minefield, with most suppliers not listing what the camera resolution is in their specifications. What they do list is a bit like 2000W PMP for a 3W audio amplifier.

I would have thought that two overriding factors would be camera sensor and lens quality and camera resolution. It won't matter how good the processor and jpeg and avi algorithms are if the information is not there in the first place!

It would appear there is a market for a dash cam app for the iPhone.

think there is already one as it was tested on 5th gear but it wasn't very good as the lense isn't good enough
