Strapped my tipod to the roll bar this morning and recorded my journey to work. Sound is awful as the camera was above the screen and just got nailed with wind but the picture qaulity is pretty damn good. Will post up some clips tonight when I get home and edit it.

Just bagged myself one on eBay for £29!  4GB model though, still does 60 minutes of HD though, more than enough!  It'll be brilliant for capturing special moments with the baby :afro:

The problem here is the flat light, consumer grade digital video cameras don't perform that well in low light; looking at Horney's video it looks like it's been recorded on a dull morning which isn't going to have the best light, making the colours slightly washed out an a lack of contrast.  This is something that could easily be fixed in post production using your video editing software of choice.
