As Death2Theft states, they are horrible when it starts to get dark, and I'm not too impressed with the video it takes during the day.

4: it doesnt have screen to show what is recording so its a pita to aim correctly

although most of the flaws can be fixed, its just a pita to set it up and get it running properly, not to mention the car suction cup is HUGE
I'm guessing the ContourHD or ContourGPS has the same limitations then? Was looking into that a few months back.
