DISCLAIMER
Dashcameras participated in this side by side test were using firmware you see below.
NB! By the time you are reading this thread and watching video used here, developers of those dashcameras may have released a new improved firmwares.
Please refer to each developer sub-forum or website in order to see newer firmware release and their performance.
NIGHT TEST
Top: Transcend DrivePro 200. FW: v1.19 ( 15Mbps bit-rate )
Bottom: Panorama 2, FW: v1.12.03 ( 15Mbps bit-rate )
Day test can be found HERE
Part 1
Part 2
Raw / original files Download HERE
Comparison screenshots are made from Part 1.
Conclusion:
Overall both dashcams have almost same night video sensitivity, however DrivePro has more natural night footage look ( no violet background ). Also DriverPro has less background noise and slightly better WDR ( you will see it from in-car park screenshots ). However claimed DrivePro diagonal FOV 160 degree is not correct. Panorama has 154 degree diagonal FOV and from side by side can see that Panorama has wider FOV.
P.S. - just to remind - comparison is valid ONLY for firmware version of each dashcam mentioned above.
Both developers time to time releasing a new upgraded firmware versions to improve video quality.
