CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Very good dashcam, but setup was difficult
After having a few close calls at night and being involved in an accident that wasn't our fault, we decided to get a dash cam, as it eliminates the "he said, she said" debate when a police officer is determining fault for an accident. It's much better to have your own camera rather than relying on the kindness of people to stop and wait for police when there's an accident. The Magellan Mivue 638 is a fantastic dash cam. The camera itself is relatively small (around 3" height), which is perfect for putting the camera behind the rear-view mirror and the suction mount holds the camera securely no matter the conditions. The plastic casing around the camera is very durable and will survive drops or the heat of a parked car in summer. Image quality is fantastic, the camera records in 1080P, and nighttime footage is very clear even on poorly lit roads. The camera records on a continuous loop and isn't overly sensitive to big bumps or other road imperfections like some other dash cams. Collision footage is automatically locked and saved. The menus are easy to navigate and there are several options. Sound recording is on by default by easily be turned off if you don't want it. The standard 4GB microSD card is pretty good and can hold about 20 minutes of footage. The camera has two slots for microSD cards and I believe it accepts up to a 32GB microSD card.
A major negative of this camera was the weird setup. Initially, I had to first insert the proprietary notched USB cord into the suction cup mount and then insert the suction cup mount onto the camera. I had to push pretty hard on the microUSB head to get it to go all the way into the suction cup mount before attching the mount to the camera. The instruction manual was useless in helping me figure this out and it took me over an hour to get it working. Overall the Mivue 638 very good dashcam, but the initial setup is a little difficult.
