Do you think this has a proper parking mode?
Does it have it's own viewer software (or are all settings done on the camera?)?
What's the video bitrate?
Is the new gen 3M CMOS any good vs Sony exmor?
My new Lukas 7900 replacement should arrive soon and I'm considering selling it and trying something else, I'm guessing the guard trak is some way off still (though I could sell the Lukas and just wait).
My judgement to ANY dashcamera who might have even the best specs / hardware on the paper is: DON'T JUDGE BOOK BY IT'S COVER !
I have seen sooo many dash cams, where on the paper all sounds good, but in reality is "something missing".
I can only fully judge when I test myself against all other same class dash cams I have in hand in so called side-by-side stress-test ( day, night, rain, sunny, pitch dark, low sun, etc. ), - only then I can tell what I really think.
But I am not sure if and when I get hands on Marcus series, unless Vico sends me samples for tests
However having in hand WF1 and knowing its performance and Vicovation has been lately surprising us with good quality products ( TF2+, WF1 etc ), I do believe that Marcus series should bring a good result. But we have to wait and see.
About Sony Exmor IMX122 vs AR0330. I have seen some Sony with poor FW tune up which performed same as 50-70 usd dashcams and if FW tuned up properly, then AR0330 can nearly match Sony Exmor IMX122 as I showed in one of my tests
HERE
Don't forget, there are two type of Sony Exmor:
IMX122 and IMX136.
IMX122 is close to real WDR ( 100dB ) as well as
Aptina AR0331.
Aptina AR0330 CAN NOT produce real WDR, because it has 72db
The only real WDR is Sony Exmor R IMX136 producing 116db, but this CMOS is not yet used in dashcam world, - too expensive !
