cansonic dash cams

posts here previously about their older models, there was some US based seller that was promoting them at some stage
 
ok there is a retailer here in Ontario, but I could not find any info on here so I thought I would ask if anyone heard about them?
 
If a product is not new and it is not popular, then there is a reason for that. With dashcams it's usually because they are no good, or are overpriced for their real value with better cams found for that price or cheaper cams performing equally well. Less risk to stay with the well-known and well-tested.

I'd consider the 210 model if you have an unstable imagination.

2.5” Big high resolution LCD
Automatic imagination stabilizer
Low light technology and High-end lens

My friend has the 210 and it is a good dash cam but the 888 looks pretty cool so i thought i would ask on here
 
It doesn't seem to offer more for the price than other cams, or offer features not found in more established cams in it's price range. The website looks "budget" and has little real info on it, so it's tough to say if it measures up to it's competition. And there's comparatively little info to be found regarding the company's dashcam related history elsewhere. It does have a nice form-factor but that alone isn't enough to mark it down as a "buy". I'd like to see more about it's hardware specs and is user-interface before deciding; too much unknown here for me.
