    plus p&p of ~€3.78 so its not €1.14.

    Its ~€4.92, which i would say is probably fair enough.


    After a quick look, seems to be the same one dealextreme are selling here for €7.93.

    The MD-80 is sold boxed and branded by a lot of retail places in Dublin, it is EXACTLY the same as the ones sold direct from China, as in, really worth about €6-12, depending on where you but it..

    No, it was the very same one OP has. It was up in the Sligo store where the cameras and memory cards are.

    plus 4euro postage - suddenly what looked like a 1.14 bargain is almost 10euro (admittedly different source and better model)

    the ebay instructions make for a good read though...

    Package Includes:
    1 x Key Chain Video Camera
    1 x USB cable (Not include the charger)
    1 x Manual in English
    How to use ?

    1.Charge: The battery is built-in lithium rechargeable battery, so when you use it the first time, please charge firstly.

    2. Power on to video :Please confirm the TF card has already been inserted products!

    1) Press "ON/OFF" button , yellow indicator light begins to bright, now it enters into standby mode,

    (2) Holding the "RECA" button, yellow indicator light flashing three times faster ,and put out immediately. At this time, it begins to make a video.

    (3) Press "RECA" button yellow indicator light begins to bright , Pause and Save the record If you need to continue to video, please holding the "RECA" again.

    3. Take Photo :Press "ON/OFF" button, yellow indicator light begins to bright, now it enters into startup ready mode. which can enter into standby mode. Press "VIDEO/CAMERA" button. yellow indicator light flashing, represents a photo shoot. Repeated press, repeat photo.

    4.Time set: First create a new Txt file by root of the storage TF card and change the file name in " Set time", Open " Set time" file, inside edit year, month, day, hour, minutes and seconds format ( for example,2008.04.12 14:11:00 ) , and save the file before exit, time created and modifications completed, when next time you start the machine , the time will be recorded simile tenuously.

    5.Power off: In the halted state, Holding "ON/OFF" button, then release till indicator goes out. Then the machine is turned off.

    6. Auto-power off function

    7.Connecting computer: It can connects computer under power off mode, standby mode or video mode, after that which can be used as U disk, who can copy, cut and paste, delete file.

    I'd be very wary if I was you. They started putting out fake #3 cameras around the time I ended my interest in them. I don't believe they are making the original number 3 anymore. The best site to check up on these things is:

    Thanks to VanZan's link and advice, i went with a seller who has been confirmed to be selling the genuine #3 camera. You can find the name on the site.

    $13.99 i paid but that included registered post.

    Got eBay stuff from China, took a loooong time to arrive ( month+ )

    I thought these ( less practical, more expensive ) were brilliant.

    No. It looks the same as any of the others except for having "HYUNDAI" printed on it.

    a little OT, but what do people use these for?

    Is it mostly to spy on your bird when you are out?

    I got some Velcro patches and stuck it onto the peak of my baseball cap. It was great fun initially recording my visits to the shopping centre and the bank etc but at the moment it's lost in my knick knack drawer and hasn't been used in ages. I bought one off a seller on rcgroups who could guarantee it was a #3. Cost me $22.
