I hope they do sort it out. I can tell you this based on my own experiences over the last 2 months+ of using these cams, that it seems to like 16gb cards better than 32gb cards, at least my 1st camera seems to anyway (I have 3 of them..lol) this 1st cam (GPS only) has been a little unstable at times. In 2 months I've had it stop when re-cycling and the mini USB sockets seemed quite loose and occasionally it wouldn't go into auto record when powered up, but giving the sockets a blast with isopropyl and squeezing one side of the plug in a little to make it a firmer fit seemed to cure it.
This same camera was delivered with a faulty UP button which would not work, I decided rather that return it to open it up and repair it myself, it turned out one side of the SM switch had not been soldered, so a few seconds with the soldering iron solved that problem, but out of the 3 camera's this one has always been more fussy with cards...especially 32gb cards, It seemed to work fine on 16gb cards, but over 2 months it has failed 2 or 3 times when re-cycling on 32gb cards. One time I think it was the card itself as tests revealed it had 1 bad sector, I gave it a full format to map out the bad sector and the card seemed to work okay afterwards, but I have since kept that one as a spare, and it also failed with a Samsung class 10 card, where it would randomly stop recording, a change of card to a 32gb class 6 seems to have fixed it. Its been okay the last couple of weeks or so anyway.
The second and third camera's I bought, (all 3 from E-Prance BTW) have worked flawlessly so far, one cam is GPS + 8GB in the front of my car wired in using 12v to 5v USB converter, and the other is a GPS only mounted in the rear of the car, (This one has the audio and GPS turned off) these 2 cams do not seem so fussy with the type of cards, I'm currently using a couple of Samsung 32gb class 6 cards in them, but a few weeks ago I also run a class 10 card for a few days too without issues.
IOW.. all my issues have been mainly on my first camera, and 2 or 3 of those were down to a poor connection on the USB sockets. Failing to go into record mode on power on occurred 3 or 4 times, and stopping say after 2 or 3 hrs running, a change of cable helped, but I always squeeze in the side of the mini usb plugs now even the ones in the car, as I know from experience they can cause some weird symptoms, in fairness however the sockets on the second 2 cams do seem a firmer fit anyway.
There is no doubt, there are differences in the hardware on some of these camera's depending which factory made them, and I believe some cams simply don't come up to spec, my 1st camera is one example, infact my second 2 cams seem to me to be better built too, buttons work properly and feel better and the mini USB sockets are better quality too IMO, no bad ccd pixels either. I just don't think it was made in the same factory that made the other 2 cams.
