Well, i have a 8.4 mega pixel samsung for main use, it dose the job (well in all) . Then i have a rc car camera that i mount in my built in roof rack so when i'm chaseing a storm, i can swich it on and it can record for up to 4 hours depending on the memory card, it is 12.3 mp as well , good as it is a big as a pen lid. (p.s the memory card goes on the bottom so it works as a stand). And just in case i'm going to work and see something amazing i have a 5.0 MP camera phone.
