Surprisingly good for the price.
I thought I wanted a smaller one with no display, but the display is useful for setting up the options, so I am glad that it has it. I am satisfied with the size - smaller than I expected, and no longer am looking for an even smaller one. I wanted one with GPS logging, but now I think logging speed will be more of a liability than an asset. On mine at least, the audio sometimes blips out at times. It is not really 1280 resolution - realize this records at a lower quality than an iPhone set to 640x480 mode. Also it may not be a 120 degree field of view as claimed, though I cannot easily measure that. I am giving it four stars because it is surprisingly good for the price, but I am returning it because I would rather spend $70 and get an actual HD one with a wider-angle lens. My suggestion - buy it if you want to stick to $24 as it does work. But I am excited enough about the concept of a car DVR that I am going to kick in another $40 and do it better.
