juz a quick sum of my newly-gotten A118C from GearBest. i'm a newbie, so don't give too much hope for a well written complete coverage. by the way, i haf a gt680w (imo an impressive workhorse) for the front & tis A118C is for the rear windscreen.
got tis A118C at the promo price & shipped on expedite, received within 3 working days. unboxed and installation is a breeze. the dashcam was shipped with the latest Jan'15 fw, user manual is in the friendly English version, all the functions/ buttons are tested without any trouble. since my car has the windscreen shades installed, tis cam is almost stealth completely from inside & out.

was initially disappointed by the video quality & unconvincingly thot i got a lemon. the playback was pixelated, out of focus (esp on the move) and looks almost like a vga video quality. juz abt to log a case with GearBest, i reckon a deeper investigation is needed. to cut the chase, my rear windscreen has a 3M window film that caused the degraded video quality. till now i don't believe i'm ready/ convince to remove the film to solve this problem, hence, i reckon some compromised is required. however if you know of any workaround without removing the film, i look forward hearing....
for memory card, will be getting a 64gb but in the meantime, was using a kingston class4 8gb with no trouble. with a 1080p recording, the 8gb card is able to hold approx 20 set of 3mins video. strangely my gt680w is capable to cramp close to 30 videos is its' 8gb card as well
lastly, since my gt680w has an external plug-in gps, without doubt i tried it on tis A118C & no surprise, it didn't worked.
