I am currently uploading to youbube, 2 X 900 Mb footage, i can allready say the C1 is no way near the night capabilities of my Lukas dashcam.
For now i only have daytime and night time in town with ambient light galore, but when you hit the rural roads where you only have the headlights the C1 get a severe beating.
Uplooad is painfull slow with only 1 mbit
I am quite sure the C1 will do really good for what i will use it for, and thats not use in really dark Places
I am allso sure the DEV Guys can tweak more performance out of the C1, meanwhile i will just lean back and enjoy my C1 as it is at the moment.
I think for real good footage at night one will allso have to use a camera with a sensor that is build for low light footage, and then in the day use ultra high shutter speeds so not to get too bright daytime footage.
Personally i am willing to live with moderate daytime recordings if night time recordings are super good, and i dont think any of the dashcams today are usper good at low / no light conditions.

- wider angle of view on the Innovv
My dream device would be to combine the best of them, ie. bright, vibrant footage with a wide angle of view. Not to mention great night time quality, of course!
I am okay with my lucas can do for my dashcam needs, but it might be moved to the back window if somthing interesting come to the marked in 2014.Perhaps take a look at the Vico TF2+ to see if its night footage is to your satisfaction?
Yes, this is a reason why many (experienced) users are paying a lot for expensive cameras. When buying a camera I am interested first about its size, to be smaller and then about the brightness during night. Only after this I will continue reading more about the camera.Personally i am willing to live with moderate daytime recordings if night time recordings are super good, and i dont think any of the dashcams today are usper good at low / no light conditions.
Of course, we prefer week, not weeks.The New FW will be released in coming weeks

So the conclusion is that it's not easy being a manufacturer
So the conclusion is that it's not easy being a manufacturer - some people prefer natural colours, some "lurid" , some prefer brighter footage, some prefer a more natural look. I guess if all these parameters can be tweaked in the settings it would make a lot of people happy. Not to mention the manufacturer too, since he'll be selling a boatload of the stuff
NB! Both developers working constantly on firmware upgrades, soon both of them will have FW corrected / adjusted, so this test I would call a beta-test for both dash / action cameras.
