Which In-Car Video Camcorder To Get?

[Brian Minkin]

George,

I recently starting using an Olympia Digital Model DDV750.  It is a very compact DVR That writes MPEG4 files to a SD memory card. Capablle of very high resolution although I have been using it on medium quality to keep the file size smaller and the quality of the video has been good.  It has electronic image stabilization which seems to work very well.  Comes with a remote but just as my Pansonic camera before this one it will shut down to save battery power if it is not recording or put on pause after 3 minutes. The remote has not been helpful because of the time sitting on the grid waiting for the run group to start usually is longer then three minutes so I have just been using video editing software to remove that part of the recording. I have not figured out a solution to the wind noise yet but have been thinking about putting tape over the mike as see if that helps.

I think they list for $295 but I talked the seller down to $200 with a 2 gig SD card.
