ohh, video. only a few seconds on 512 MB??? I think you meant minutes. I can get over an hour on my Fujifilm Finepix with a 1GB memory card, at 30FPS...though it's only 320x240. Still, 'a few seconds' seems pretty damn small estimate.
But who wants to pay that much for video-only? Though I suppose it is pretty good resolution for the price. Many digital cameras that I've seen in that price range only go to 320x240.
You misunderstood, he said it would only get a couple of seconds of 5MP on a 512mb SD "IF" it shot that resolution. But it doesn't, it shoots standard def 640x480 in HQ mode, which translates to 30 minutes per 512mb. So a 2gb card will get you 2hrs of Standard def recording.
Try to find a better tapeless video camera under $150. The only other competition is the ATC-2000 helmet cam but it doesn't have a screen and its made for another purpose mainly.
