i got a Transcend camera which has v good video quality. The drawback is the internal battery for the clock only lasts a day. So if you don't use the car every day, and the cig. socket doewn't stay on, the date and time is lost unless you fiddle with the settings for 5 mins.
Some cars can have the socket set on permanently by swapping cables round, like my very old departed Saab 9-5
