Worth a punt?

[Eddie Hitler]

Just got this in an email;

Looks alright, wanted to have some sort of camera on my bike for the commutes, just incase.

Any thoughts?

Rather expensive, lots on Ebay for £6-£8 from China or about £10 from a UK dealer.

As for the camera itself; remarkably good for a tenner but can be a bit difficult to set up due to lack of viewfinder.

Tip: the original camera these are modelled on was called the MD80, try Googling this.

as said above, you can get them for about a fiver on ebay. the picture quality is ok for the price. which means it's quite shitty.

Just another MD80 clone. You'll want a bigger card than the 2GB one provided. Note that the reset pinhole is blanked off, as was mine, which is pretty annoying.

Decent for the price. the cheapo ones have a date stamped in the bottom corner though.

Cheers

If it's one with the Sunplus chipset it'll be good. I recorded this the other day on mine (ignore the timestamp as I couldn't be bothered to set the time). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFv3Eb2YC2M
