Simple crash test: remove memory card while the dashcam is recording and check how much of the video footage made before the removal is recoverable from memory card.
For Panorama II it seems that the whole video file is lost. Even when cycle size is 5 minutes, if the card is removed on 4:55 the whole 5 minute video file is lost - memory card contains 0 byte sized file:
This might be the secret of relatively low Panorama current consumption - video stream is not frequently flushed to memory card.
This is fine unless you want to obtain video footage from accident whose impact might be fatal to dashcam.
Edit: The same "crash test" was performed also with 32GB memory card formated to FAT which in constant recording mode works without issues.
