at least I got rid of that 2 sec interval 

I never had it

[rustynutz]

So the firmware has bumped the SD card support up to 64gb for the F500?

I can't see a sense in using SD cards with hight capacity, such as 64Gb for example (unless someone wants to record a really long trip in one go with no notebook or other storage device at ones disposal).

What about the digital zoom...it's 8X on the F520...compared to 4X.

do you really need the digital zoom?! is it so vital feature?  I would prefer to have optical one instead

Was just pointing out the differences between the 2 cameras......

ok
by the way the resolution of this camcorder is the same - 1920x1080  (from ebay: F520 High Definition Video Camcorder is equipped with high-resolution (1920x1080 @ 30fps) video recording feature), whereas 4608 x 3456 resolution is for the photos only (4000x3000 for DOD F500LHD)
and both camcorders seem to be equiped with the same sensor - 5M CMOS Sensor

and here is an info from DOD-tech site for F520: Max support to 32GB SDHC Card

I did make reference to photo resolution....see posts 34 & 38

and here is an info from DOD-tech site for F520: Max support to 32GB SDHC Card 

I did see that, it must not have been updated because if you see HERE, it say 64GB.

Apologies for adding to an old post but I stumbled across this today. Is this a DOD F500 under a different name?

It looks very much like it - I have a DOD F520 and there seems to be little difference with mine.

You can get it cheaper though

PS: I wish I had found this 6 weeks ago - it would have saved me about £40 - mainly due to customs charges

That is one of clone of DOD. One can find cheaper items on DX, for example:

It's a blatant ripoff of DOD technology

DX sells clones too

I accidentally dropped my DOD from a hight of 1.3 m today, it then hit an asphalt two or three times and came to a halt... I thought it wouldn't work in the end, frankly speaking, but it switched on and worked properly   
Happy end.

What are these? And why? Or just for fun and to re-live the drive?

[Phil №❶]

Yes, just for fun and sometimes to show others in different parts of the world what local conditions can be like. Also some members are trying to find what is a good quality camera, so there are examples of different cameras here too. Some members use the cameras for evidence gathering should they be unfortunate enough to have an accident.

More and more common for evidentiary purposes in Australia.
