cudaken Have you gave it a try yet? Ken
Yes, I have tried it. Trying to understand the "Chinglish" (Chinese-English) is a bit rough. I have tried it about six time on the RR and all I get is about 4~6 seconds of video. I have a 5 minute segment where it recorded while I was walking around the yard. It is just that I need to figure out what buttons I pushed then. It will take a bunch more experimenting to get a video of decent lenght. As for the quality of the video, it is great.
Example of the instructions, (exact reproduction)
1. Enter the video mode in turn off status, long time press OFF / ON button till yellow light on, long time press (video camera button) tillyellow light flash three time, light off enter into video mode, then click (video / camera button) yellow light on for stop and saved ,long time press OFF /. ON switch off.
There is no paragraph 2. Once I figure out how to use it I will be posting a vid.

OK: It arrived in the mail today. Probably too dark outside for a true test, Plus I need to go get an Micro SD card. Here is a pic of the true size, it is inbetween my cell phone and wireless mouse for the laptop. I get home around 12:30 tommorrow afternoon and will try my first vid then.
Tom, thanks for the up date and you took the words right out of my mouth. I bought some tress from a company in China and it took the same time frame. By the time I got them I as done with that section.

This is one time where the phrase "it took a slow boat from China" is a correct statement. As you can clearly see, there is no screen on this thing, so aiming it is a "by gosh by golly" hope it is pointed in the right direction. You can look forward to seeing a sample of the video quality around mid April.
Ken:
Short story = No.
Long story: I ordered it on Saturday, put this post here on Sunday. On Monday evening I got an e-mail dated Tuesday stating that my package had been delivered to Hong Kong Post! With the following "The estimated arrival time of your item is from 2010-03-24 to 2010-04-02." Guess I should have done a bit more reading before I paid for it.
Luckily, my sweet wife has a PC!
ttigg have you received the camera yet?
Ray DunakinNo Mac support -- bummer.
Funny how they never mention that in those sarcastic Apple adds where they denigrate PCs.

Here are the "Tech Spec's" as posted on the site.
Parameters:
Six dollar video cam. OK it is $6.49 (plus $5.99 S+H) over on "evilbay". Then you need to get a mini-SD card. I heard about this on the radio, Leo Laporte has a weekend electronics show and talked about it. He said that compared to the price it gives a very good picture. He called it a "spy cam" because it is so small. I’m thinking about putting it inside the car or engine. Here's a pic (hint it looks like a car key remote.)
I’ve got one on order, and will post a sample of how well it works. I’m thinking it might make for interesting point of view shots as the train passes by, like inside the house looking out the window, inside the cab of the delivery van, inside whatever.
See for yourself.
It is rechargeable, via the USB cable.
Revised edit 28 May 2010:
OK folks, skip past all the disparaging remarks on this and the next page. Go to page three of this thread, Jerry Barnes has posted a very good instruction sheet for this camera. It was a battle understanding the "ChinEngrissh" but someone was able to produce a very clear instruction set. It works very well.
