Hard drive video camera
Im looking into buying a hard drive recordable video camera. One of its uses will be for incar footage from race events and the like. BUT i've noticed they have a built in g sensor that disables the camera when its breached. anyone used one in such an application? Any problems? Any recommendations?
thanks Jme

Jme I was going to buy one of these cameras for similar things, plus my euro trip etc.
The sensor is designed to disable the needle on the hard drive when a drop is detected as most damage happens to HDDs when they are moved suddenly with the pin engaged. SO efectivley you would need to move the camera in a different direction at about the acceleration of gravity 9.8m/s2 or similar. So a hard launch may set off the sensor. What I would recomend is the Sony HDRHC3, the camera I just purchased. It is a 1080i High def camera which the HDD is not. It also has a flash for 4M pixel photos and a sweet slow motion setting. It also does night vision so at drag etc you don't need a light on or crap like that, works really well, Paris Hilton styles.
