I finally got bored enough to get around to testing my new keychain spycam, and compare it to my other one. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the keychain camera does actually take substantially better quality videos. Other than taking better quality video files, it also seems to have a more clever aperture than the sports camera.
The bitrate of the files on the keychain is 6.5mbps, but the sports one is only 2.3mbps. This means that the keychain camera will take better quality videos, at the cost of filling your memory more quickly. Not that it matters much, but the keychain camera (at 16.5 grams) is also 2.5 grams lighter. Also, since you can mount the keychain camera flat it should be much easier to mount to the cub than my other camera.
The keychain camera is also able to be used as a webcam, when the camera is hooked up to the computer (with a memory card in it) you can
press the on/off button to switch to webcam mode. For me it worked instantly without installing any new drivers, so it must use the same drivers as my other camera.
I might have to retire my original camera from aerial photography, and just use it for covert surveillance. Unlike the keychain camera, my other one has a sound activated standby mode... You can put it in a empty room, and as soon as it hears a noise it records for 2 minutes. Who dares me to put one in the dunny?
