This is hidden in the A118 thread so figured I might as well add a new one which people can find easily.
A quick bit of comparison footage with the GT680W (they're slightly out of step due to varying video lengths and boot up times etc).
You can see that even though they're based on the same CPU and CMOS sensor, the lens and firmware affect the video in different ways. The A118 seems brighter as my GT680Ws do seem to be on the darker side for a lot of footage. They're both at default EV settings and from looking at the footage the A118 has ramped up the exposure time to get the brighter image as numberplate reading isn't as sharp. Swings and roundabouts really.
The microphone is more sensitive on the A118 but it has the high pitched noise common on this platform. Both work fine tbh and this could be also to do with the fact the A118 is located closer to the speaker so your milage may vary.

I'll update this with night footage when I have some
