Jokiin also just let us know that an all new (version 3? not the official name) Mini 0801 is in the works. (same size/case, different upgraded guts) No details are out yet, but apparently the mixed mono problem is fixed for sure. I'm hoping they add WDR. (Wide Dynamic Range) I'm looking forward to learning when the release date is.
This doesn't mean you should wait to buy a DashCam now. Just remember anything you buy is temporary.(months/years) I always keep the original box so I can sell it on eBay when the next best thing comes out. (It almost feels like all my Electronics are "rented") I've learned that the sooner I upgrade certain things, the closer to market value I can re-sell it for on eBay.
But yeah the Current 0801 is the best bang for the buck. Just make sure you use a Class 4 microSD card and it will be rock solid in looped/recycle mode.
Yes, the DR-32 had some noisy audio from the sample clips I've seen. The ones from earlier this year were really bad, but they made some improvement. The 0801 Audio is far from outstanding but it gets the job done.
