Heres a short video (of my son playing mario kart lol) for you to get a rough idea of the quality.Not at all bad i dont think.Just ordered an 8gig card (the max it will take) as my 1 gig card only lasted 35min and it was full.

I had these cameras in my car at my recent race at croft check out the video below

the front and rear views were from these cameras and the view of me was from a mountain bike head cam

the front view wasn't mounted to well hence the wobble, the quality is fantastic!
My m8 Jims on here originally found them some months ago, the are actually a voice recorder with a small camera on..

For the ones looking for a bit better quality.
I just bought this little fecker from bhphotovideo.com
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Camcorder.html

Just tested it yesterday, and the quality is superb for that kind of money. Will be using it for inboard footage on 30th of may at FMCN trackday at Vaalerbanen.
