Nice but Cheaper on ebay August 25, 2010 J. smith (rome, ga.) Fun product, tiny, the 30min. per file recording structure is annoying. Item is cheaper on ebay.
Tiny, handy, so-so video quality, needs audio button August 20, 2010 Michael G. Romano (Bend, OR) This camera is small and the only one like it so it's hard to compare it to anything else. The video quality is just a hair better than that from a cell phone camera so you won't be winning any Oscars for cinematography. However, the video picture isn't bad and it's mainly the frame rate that's the problem (some flickering) not the resolution. It would be nice if the camera came with an additional clip or strap-- the clip it comes with is alright for thin materials like a shirt pocket, but not the visor of a car or the handlebar of a bike.
The camera absolutely needs an audio-off button because in many states, audio-recording someone without their consent is a crime. Video-recording (unless the person has an expectation of privacy or is in a state of undress) is typically legal without consent. This means that, if you're looking to use this small and concealable camera to record people without their consent or making a big deal about recording the conversation, you have to announce that you are recording and that draws more attention than if you probably just used a larger camera.

Dead on Arrival. Charged overnight - nothing... Too bad, so much promise, so little delivery...
Great Product! August 12, 2010 TM6482 Great video quality. I got it on Thursday and placed it on my dash the first few trips out. Then on Sunday, I just made a quick trip out without it....a car wreck occurred right in front of me and damaged my vehicle. I don't leave home without it now.
needs a few changes August 5, 2010 gadgetmaster (Austin, TX United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Will not record while plugged into power.
Full and freshly charged battery only good for one hour of recording.
If battery dies in middle of clip, that clip is unplayable. Clips are 30 minutes long.
Has slow rolling shutter. Tilt camera movements create unwatchable footage.
Audio is very poor.
The monetary switch for record/stop makes it difficult to know if camera is recording. The flashing green light isn't easy to see in bright sunlight from an angle.
No internal clock to properly date video file headers.
I've been running this on bicycle seat post pointed backward at traffic. AAA batteries, and continuous loop recording would make it better.
