HEY DICKHEAD -- I use mine as a DASH CAMERA. I commute 20 minutes each way, which means the eight hour memory lasts me for two weeks of driving. It takes me exactly one minute to clear the memory and about once a month I have to charge it. ONE button. Seriously? You're going to flame because I have to push one button?

I have one Contour dedicated to this task, with a permanent slide-on mount on the dash for it. It's a dash camera, not a "sports camera".

And guess what? It's VERSATILE. I can slide it off, put it in my pocket, and use it for a hundred things a dash cam cannot be used for.

So before you go flaming and calling names, consider that the world is a lot bigger than the one YOU live in, "idiot".

I will now go report myself.

use whatever you want, i am suprised you only commute 20 mins each way every day and have nothing else to do otherwise. I dont have to charge it, mount it, clear the memory, push any button, i pay less and have much better vid quality. I only have to setup once and that's it, plain simple. I used to have something like yours where i need to do all of the above, it was too much of a hassle at the end so that's i opted for a dash cam. Exactly the same operation as a camera in a police crisuer. I dont understand why you have to show us how easy and versatile to operate your camera, because you will not win with a dediacted dash camera for the purpose of daily driving. A dash cam does not need to versatile lol, the memory card does! It's designed to stay in the car. I have much more to do in my life than commuting to work everyday.

-i am discussing this based on the subject of cameras, not personally. no intention to attack nor to insult other members.

If you leave your dash cam in your car people will smash your window and steal it, so get a cam you can hide
