I for one don't trust a 512GB microSD. Maybe if it were full size SD. Even then, I'd do 30fps or less and have 4x the retention
Choice is good. That's why they have different settings on cameras, even the Sony RXO that goes from 24fps all the way up t0 1000fps in eleven interim settings. I know there are some situations I've been in where a higher frame rate would have been very useful, not so much for smooth video but for capturing a rapid succession of individual moments in time. With memory being so cheap today, retention seems a minor issue. Personally, I don't quite get why some people wish to archive huge amounts of mundane dash cam footage, although I understand that some enjoy documenting their vacation travels and the like although one doesn't need high frame rates for that. For me, on a daily basis, I'm more interested in capturing significant events. If nothing happens during a period of several hours I'm more than happy to let the camera record over older footage however the bit rate or frame rate settings may be set.
