Man! I must have wasted an hour trying to find good instructions to see what it had for settings.
In case the numbers and name mean nothing. It's something like a GoPro, not as fast or as full of functions, but for a cheap little waterproof Action Cam, it's interesting. I've seen then from $39 to $50+ at various places. (sorry I only looked USA) Walgreens has them on end caps for $49. Includes helmet mount, and handlebar mount, waterproof case and standard housing. Looks like standard tripod threading.
5MP is best setting, will do smaller. 2 and 10 second self timer for time lapse (which is what I was looking for) I don't see anything on EV or sensitivity. I look at these as interesting toy cameras. 5MP 2592 x 1944 / HD 1280 x 720. Who knows what the lens is like. Also looks like it uses the Micro SD cards. This camera has a small screen on the back, which makes it useful for reviewing and you can see what you are shooting as well as play a slide show. Other cameras just have a LCD on top with settings.
Mostly in case someone wants to play and doesn't want to spend big bucks on a GoPro (and I have two of those) it could be a way to experiment and see if you want to move up to something with better resolution and quality. Internal LiIon battery, charges through the USB.
I'm sure I'll hit the store as this is a "must have" item? ???
