Cheap trackday camera!!
Stolen off another forum:
Size of a fag lighter and produces video like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDt9rWBj2W4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSd4XyUNXew
Features:
* Thumb size alloy housing
* Manual and Sound activated recording
* 62 Degree viewing angle
* 30 frames per second
* Web camera for online video chat
* Support AVI video format
* Low illumination, high resolution image with 2000K pixels
* High speed recording and quick light response
* 30 ±1 frames per second for 720x480 video output.
* Built-in Li rechargeable battery lasting for about 2 hours
* Charge Via USB and Power Adapter
* Micro SD card support (8GB Max)
* Easy operation with LED indicator
* Support USB 2.0
* Flexible installation with clip and bracket
* Support JPG picture format
* Compatible with Windows 2000 and XP
* Dimensions: 55mm x 20mm x 14mm
* Weight: 50g
The cost? £22 including delivery off ebay from a UK seller. Yes you read that right £22!!!!! Ok so you need a class 6 Micro SDHC card but they're about £15 so it's still cheap.
The scooby boys rate them:

although they've gone up a few quid since that topic was started.

DECODING JIBBA JABBA!!
I use these for car and track days, also ideal for nurburgring as there small and compact.
Do a search on you tube for envyautodesign and there is footage from my R1 using one.

How do they fix them inside the cars etc?? I'm guessing it's not specifically designed as an in car video camera?

I use one, still £14.99 ebay, real bargain. The units arnt good quality but who cares for that sort of money.
Use a good quality class 6 card in it as it stops most of the jerkiness.

Very good, just went on ebay, found one, but there was a bidder already on it. So outbid 'em at the last min, won it for £15.50 inc free P&P, UK seller. So should get it soon. 
Thanks for sharing!

It's a shame that you can't wire up the USB cable to it from the cig socket to keep it charged up all the time... the record won't work when it's plugged in. 
Unplug it, the record feature works.
