Cameras
I used to own a keychain camera until the battery died. Is this worth getting again (for christmas) or a re there better cameras for the same price($10).

The 720x480 (640x480) versions of the 808 camera sell for about $7.00 on ebay, so you should be able to get more than one!Water Rocket Expert wrote:I used to own a keychain camera until the battery died.

Re: Camera
Allow me to voice my opinion. I have tried using those cameras mentioned above and based on my experience, I would not buy one again. They don't record very good video and they are notorious for dropping frames and narrow fields of view. Personally I would invest in a HK Wing Cam. They come in 720p and 1080 p versions. The 1080p version also can record 60fps. Also make sure that you get a class 10 micro sd card, which you may or may not already have. The 720p version goes for $35. While that is 5x the price of the keychain cams, the wing cams are much better in my opinion.

Actually I had a 808 camera and I liked it but the battery charging board died. I will buy another for six bucks.

Re: Cameras
That's odd. The 808 cameras don't have a battery charging board. There's only one board in the camera and it does everything.Water Rocket Expert wrote:Actually I had a 808 camera and I liked it but the battery charging board died. I will buy another for six bucks.
Are you sure you don't have one of the 989 cameras?

Re: Cameras
Okay it looks like an 808 its just a Amazon keychain camera I don't know what its called it looks just like all the others and its charging board went bad so I either am getting on for christmas or using a parkzone battery to power it.
