MD80's are in use amongst a number of users of this forum - see Commuting section. However, despite the cheapness and effectiveness of the MD80, run time from one charge is only of the order of an hour.

After getting knocked off my bike a roundabout last sunday I'm definitley going to be looking for a camera which will record enough for the whole ride I do. A camera would have given me the witness I needed to prove the driver was negligent. As it is the police are not taking it further despite me being hit from behind crossing a one lane roundabout.Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!

Thats cheap! What are images like?0 -
The quality from the above camera is just the same as from MD80 clones, 720*480@30fps. Though they do record in 300 second clips then restart so you do loose 1-2 seconds of action each time the camera is resetting.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Picture quality is similar but the battery lasts 2 or 3 times longer. It supposedly overwrites old files if the card gets full but it doesn't usually work properly when the card gets full.Smarter than the average bear.0

When you say "Picture quality is similar", in YOUR opinion, is that good or bad?0 -

These cameras are popular because they are cheap, there is no point in spending much more on a 720*480 camera. None of them are very good, just about acceptable unless you want to be able to read number plates in moving traffic. I think if you want better you need a higher resolution and a wider lens.Smarter than the average bear.0
