Understandable, but I've seen footage from some of those "sub $100.00" camera's and they were as grainy as all get out. Very difficult to really make out much detail.
Now considering that
IF I'm mistaken that part of the reason for running camera's is to gather evidence if needed to document harassment, or in the event of a being hit, or a hit and run. Footage and/or pictures that are are so grainy to be useless then it's just useless weight, and why bother?
There has got to be camera's that are both affordable and that produce quality footage and images. And then there's battery life/spare batteries to consider as well as memory card size.
