True that. I plan on using it as an in car mounted camera... and maybe mount it outside suction cupped or hard mounted.

So here's something I threw together while "getting to know" my camera... not much video editing, just raw footage.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...62871343146285

Google video sucks... Myspace keeps denying it saying it's copyrighted, uploading it onto youtube right now... The 600MB original looks very nice on my comp, but stupid internet compressors kill the quality.

EDIT... youtuber vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV7CrRtSVDs Same quality...

Sound is good... it compresses better than video.

Cheap good cars are a dime a dozen, especially mechanics specials. Not too many mechanics specials on pro-video cameras.
