Been watching this one on the bay :

720p recording with a 2.5 hr battery runtime for £45, doesn't look too shabby either.

ooooooooooooooooooh
120 wide 'angree'

don't look to bad. my biggest concerns are:

recording time
battery life
playback (i like it smooth - not stuttery/blurry/ghosting(?) with fast movement)
HD seems to be the way, but obviously you pay the extra for it - bit sceptical of this one, but might be willing to try it out for that much

If any of you chaps do get one of those, i'd be interested to know what it's like

got run off the road the other day in Shoreham by a Hi-Lux, so i'd like to start filming my commutes.

i work in Shoreham (i don't drive a Hi-Lux!) what road was this?
i commute very regularly round here, the Brighton Road (A259 i think) is awful. i tend to dip down to Carats across the harbour and locks to avoid all that length of road - a lot of industrial trucks from all the cement/gravel works around here - leaves a nice coating of very fine grit all over the bike as well! does wonders for the brakes!

It was the Kings road next to the beach, just before the carpark and promenade section.

I haven't been that angry in a very long time

nah not yet , spent a fair few bob this last month on my spesh fsr, and need to get a new helmet before I buy new toys unfortunately. Once i've got the bits I need I can then spoil myself

Another ridiculously close call in Worthing this morning (police & employer of the truck phoned and reported)..may take a chance on that little keyring for the time being..tape it to my lid light or something.

not got £40 to spend on a camera just yet, and want to see what the results are like
