Less than $25US G1W on Amazon/Ebay - How good ?.

[Dimas]

The video quality probably won't match the real one with Novatek.
My question is how bad is it ... or how good ?.
Any sample video out there ?.
I am planning to use it for rear cam.

It's worth the $25 if it's 1080p @ 30fps.

This. If it isn't then (and it is more then likely not) I would not use it.

Better spend an extra $10 and the real thing from china (Probably with the generalplus chip though)

But then again, they can write anything they want even if it contradicts itself all the way to the end of the page!

The funniest thing I read there was this:

Attention:
Many buyers got confused that its lens degree, we understand; Because factory packed this G1W and G1WH with the same package box, and on its box, it wrote its lens to be 120 degree only, that is why our buyer got confused!
Anyway, this is true 140degree for G1WH!

Unless this "newly released" G1WH has a different lens (from the pictures it seems the same old one) those "true 140 degrees" are exactly the same as they have always been since the beginning of the G1W series, i.e only the "120" degrees we all know.
