Video quality isn&#8217;t great, it&#8217;s blurry and hard to see any details if there are movements. The camera also struggles if the brightness changes, etc going from indoors to outdoors. Or pointing the camera\u00a0towards\u00a0a window. The bottom line is, don&#8217;t buy it! You will be better off with the real 808, even if it costs a bit more. This camera weighs 13,9 grams with the metal key-hook removed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mini DV MD80<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/stigern.net\/images\/2012\/MD80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price for this camera generally lays around 8-11 USD, it comes with\u00a0allot\u00a0of different mounts. The general quality feel of the housing is good, you get the impression it&#8217;s more well built than the other cameras in this test. Video quality is decent, it&#8217;s the best from these three cameras I&#8217;ve tested so far. Weight of the camera is 19,4 grams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5MP Smallest Mini DV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/stigern.net\/images\/2012\/MiniDV5MP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is the most expensive camera in this review, it&#8217;s priced from around 11-16 USD, in video quality it&#8217;s better than the 808-clone, and not as good as the MD80. Even tho the resolution on the recordings are high, but the compression makes it blurry and not all that good. One thing I noticed this camera cuts the recording into several files, highly annoying! The weight for the camera is 15 grams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There we go, three of the cheapest eBay mini dv`s tested!
