Anyone got or have any experience of one of theseHD Camera?

Is it good value for money to use on my roll bar for track days etc?

5 million divided by 1080 is 4629 the horizontal resolution for 1080p is 1920 so I would say i's well over 1080p but not quite 2160p, but I'm not an expert on this.

5mp is more than HD, however that unit only does video at 1280*720 (half way between Full HD and normal telly). Should still produce really nice videos as long as the CCD is up to standard though.

1280*720 is just under 1 Megapixel, Full HD is 2 Megapixels.

optical zoom is also a good thing I purchased a camcorder from Maplins which came with a bullet cam for £119 digital zoom on the recorder which aint the best and just fixed to infinity when using the bullet cam ( better picture from the bullet cam.

Advantages of the above are also home usage, then u need to weigh up the cost of a strong bracket I used an ols Hi 8 on the roll bar with a mounting due to is size there was a lot of vibration the Aldi one looks quite small so may not vibrate.
