built in memory is very slick. 32mb aint long though, maybe 20 mins? At a guess compared to mine which records to tape. Worth someone trying it.

I have one of these. Built a mount for it this weekend and so far I haven't managed to get a single film despite lots of test runs. It appears to shake the SD card loose when hard mounted so will be going back for an exchange. The results I have seen from other people have been good enough considering the price:

The internal memory is good for 43 seconds at 640x480. i.e. useless. You need 1Gb per half hour of filming at that res.

At 640 x 480 @ 30fps 1GB should be good enough for about an hour and a half

I have one of these. Quality is OK, and you can get 2Gb SD cards from www.7dayshop.co.uk for about £15. 2Gb is the max it can address, so no point getting anything bigger.

Only problem I have is that the mic is in-built which means it is exposed to vehicle velocity windspeeds. This means any high speed footage is accompanied by a hurricane sound track.

Planning on using mine for trackdays this year - see how I get on. May upgrade if the recording bug bites.

In summary not a bad entry, but not the same as a good bullet/remote camera set up.

Cheers

Seen that Oregon Scientific bullet cam in the link above on TV (testing it on the gadget show) was amazing for the price!

A friend of mine had one on his motorbike. He attached it to the front forks, great veiwing after a track day. I remember that there was a lot of wind noise.

microphones need a lot of muffling. With mine i stuff it into the bag beside the camcorder and it still picks up everything you want to hear.
