I ordered one of these... I'm not even sure what it's called. M5?

Looks interesting and the price was good and so is Amazon's return policy.

It arrives tomorrow.

Well, this looks very interesting and the reviews on it are very good. Can't wait to hear your comments and hopefully see some test footage. Thanks for sharing.

I guess I missed that thread.

Thanks for the link. I found this as well.

Now you're cookin' . This is a much better sample. Looks to me like a good buy.

 

[LjKearny]

Here's a sample video for anyone interested. Thoughts? The files are very small at 70mb/min

[jokiin]

it makes files in flv format or they've been converted?

 

[LjKearny]

It makes them in flv... I was a little surprised too.

 

[jokiin]

it's like a YouTube camera

 

[LjKearny]

haha

What did you think of the video quality?

 

[jokiin]

looks ok

 

[parklawn]

Looks pretty decent, I think you got your money's worth.

 

[LjKearny]

Yeah I'm having a hard time deciding if the Papago 520 is worth $80 more. I am thinking not.

The Wifi live display was decent. It got choppy at times but for the most part was decent.

 

[jokiin]

Bang for buck it looks to be doing a good job, biggest negative is perhaps the file format

 

[Sabe]

I like overall image because it's wide, close to what you see in the car.
But you guys should have bigger font size in car license plates, i can read only that one which is standing in front of you in traffic lights, every passing car on next lane is unrecognizable if you want to find out that later for any reason.

 

[Sabe]

That was funny from seller

Q: Can I turn off the "Hello" every time I start my car?

A: It's possible, if you could speak Chinese or you've a friend who does...

 

[LjKearny]

The hello is horribly annoying! Luckily you can turn the volume down to zero.

BTW, I just tried a 64gb card formatted FAT32 and it worked.
