I like Ambarella for dashcams, as you all know I STILL like my Joovuu X a lot, and I've seen your video with the A129 lens, and although it looks great, I don't believe it can really reliably read plates yet in night rides. Besides, F1 is substantially more expensive than the Maxi, and even though it may have more functions and features and a (slightly? Comments welcome!) better night recording than the Maxi, it makes me wonder, should I really consider the F1 for dashcam useage? I know it has true 4K, but do we really need that? As it is, even the M1 (still!) suffices in day light. What we really NEED is to read plates of MOVING cars in night recordings.... and I don't believe F1 can do that, despite 4K. Correct? Then again, that may very well never be achievable... With any AFFORDABLE dashcam.
If I buy my next camera, I also want to use it for walks in the park, celebration days, parades, (motor &) bicycle rides, holiday's, family meetings etcetera. So, maybe a step up towards F1 may be justified.
PS: I've seen a 90 and 160 degree lens version.... that's a BIG gap.... where's the "inbetween" ideal 120~140 degree version??
