I'll do this in a Best, Better, Good order.
Best - Roadhawk -
+ Features, playback quality, reliability and design.
- Cost and not compatible with older PC/laptops.
Better - Nextbase/Garmin -
+ Readout, quality of playback and availability.
- Sound quality (I mute mine), wide angle lens makes things look further away and can overheat.
Good - Cheap petrol station special -
+ Cheap.
- Limited life span, playback quality and cheap.
If it's only for a short while get the cheapest one you can find. If you plan to keep it in your car for insurance (some offer a discount if you have one) and assurance get the best one you can afford.
Also high quality memory cards. There's no use spending £200+ on a camera and the Poundland memory card screws up.
