Nice one shiny. 8-)

Sorry, when I said rear camera what I mean is a small permanently fixed camera (like the little reversing ones), with a connecting wire run through the car to the camera at the front.
I know you can get cams with second inputs etc, but it sort of crosses over with my ideas for a double din head unit that does everything - tunes, DAB, sat nav, bluetooth phone, front and rear cam. The unicorn of head units. :lol:

I guess I could get one of yours, and pull apart the rear facing part and just extend it, say to the top of the rear window. All wiring etc would be hidden behind the headlining. :think:

So actually, the 0803 is pretty damn good anyway!

I'll have a further look into those. Although I do still like the SJ4000 (but that could be down to GoPro-looking snobbery)

Depends on usage. I like the fact the 'NoPro' will use the GoPro mounts.

So, I got the SJ4000 from SJCAMS for my birthday ..it's legit too, not a fake fake.
When I get some footage worthy of sharing I will post it up here, but no one wants to watch my boring commute to work. For now I will say the HD quality is more than adequate. It has some cool functions too, I just need another dash mount so I can put it in both of my cars :)

I muted the sound so to as not hear my gay voice.


Ooft! Nice bit of driving by the 5 series!

Cam looks good, though.

It does not seem that there is much technical difference between the two. At the lower price the cheaper one is worth a punt IMO. At that price I might get one for a rear facing camera or something :)
