Micro video camera a friend asked me to test.  Cost about $20.  
- Small, about 2" or 5 cms long
- Rechargeable battery
- Can't really tell how long it can record (instructions don't tell.  Seems to have some limit.
- Frame rate is too low for action / "high equipment loss" use
- Needs bright (outdoor) conditions to work well
- Small distance between lens and sensor means it's real sensitive to movement, especially jerky movement
- No finder makes it hard to be sure what you're shooting
- Indicator lights (2, red and blue) are hard to see in bright light
- Does take a clear video when conditions are right
- Might be used when it can be mounted solidly and framing done in advance.
