Motorcycle Video Camera Comparison Part 2: Video Quality

See http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-video-camera-reviews/ for more information, photos and all the details. This review compares the AEE MD80, the Midland XTC, the AEE HD50 and the Tachyon XC HD.

Note that comments in the video are based on the raw footage and not the YouTube upload, which has slightly degraded quality from the original, due to compression.

Is audio quality not a big factor for most people?

@razorbackblood06 The audio quality of most of these cameras is pretty bad, although if you play with the mic and add some foam around it to block the wind, sometimes you can at least get halfway decent sound. Some of the newer cameras are coming with external mic jacks.

The Tachyon XC HD is a 720 camera. But this video seems to show the recording in SD 640? Black borders.

@187Premises Read the webBikeWorld. review, the camera has problems editing with Windows and had to be converted to .WMV first.

how about GoPro HD?

[wbwvids]

@geezmoz We reviewed that, the VholdR and many others. Check webBikeWorld for all the reviews.

@dazzelya Thanks for the tip, we reviewed a Kodak videocam a long time ago, need to get another to try soon...

[dazzelya]

You should try the Kodak Playsport ( Zx3) as a motorcycle camera. I use on with a mini magnetic wide angle lens and it works great (you don't need the lens, but I wanted a wider angle because I plop it in my helmet as a helmet camera). It's also waterproof up to 3m! It's pretty cheap too.
