Dash cams?

I started a thread earlier this year about what I bought, since it was fairly popular. Well, it died, stated it was recording, but when I looked at the SD card, it really wasn't... and when I needed the images was after a hit and run. However, said camera did record footage which got handed over to traffic lawyers (especially when it caught one person backing into another person's car, then the person who caused the wreck claimed it was a rear-ender. My footage destroyed their claim to that.)

My advice. Don't buy the Chinese junk. Go for a good name brand. I'm also debating what to get next. I want something unobtrusive, as I fear a GoPro Hero with a suction cup may end up becoming an item in a meth-head's stash.
