I only just started testing this recorder, so please bear with me. I intend to update this review over time.
Firstly, there is little reason to buy this recorder from a seller at the high price of $339.95 when you get it for much less on the auction site, bebay. If you do the latter and have it shipped straight from China or Taiwan, be aware that it can take several weeks for it to be delivered to the US. In this case, be patient and follow up with the seller as necessary.
I got this model because it is one of the latest and greatest DOD camera models as of November 2013. In retrospect, its GPS feature can be counterproductive in the event of a collision if you were going too fast, irrespective of who's fault it was. No worries the geo-coordinate labeling and also the speed labeling can both be disabled, as I chose to do. If you choose to leave them enabled, the coordinates and speed will be displayed on the recorded video for your insurance company, the court and everyone to see.
It comes with speed determined in KPH, but of course there exists an MPH option. The max available loop time is 5 minutes. As is desired, the recording starts automatically upon power-on, and stops automatically a few seconds after power-off. Also as desired, there is no recording gap between files. In fact, there is approximately a one second overlap at the start.
I am using the recorder with a SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC card. The generated HD video file is a MOV (MPEG-4 QuickTime) (AVC). Once again, I hope to update this review with more information as I gain more experience with the recorder.
