So trademe has a few of these chinese MD80 cameras (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/SearchResults.aspx?searchstring=MD80&page=0) so i thought i would check one out.
You need to purchase a micro SD card which costs anywhere from $20 - $80. The better the card the better the video. I got an average card so the video does jump and skip every now and then.
So i taped the camera to the front of my bike and did a test video.

Turned out pretty good! Youtube quality is a fair bit lower than what comes straight from the camera. I just compressed it so it didn't take forever to upload.
Will do more testing soon. Can be a bitch to mount. It comes with a rather weak magnetic base mount but so far taping it to the front of the bike seems best.
If anyone wants to buy the camera i will sell it (including the micro sd card) for $55! I should be done with it in a few weeks. Just need some video for my multimedia class :)
