I have the Cowon AW1 in my daily driver and the Cobra CDR840 in my tow vehicle. I got the Cobra from Costco, I think it is on sale this month for $85. Works very well, clear video, has all the features including a G sensor but comes with an 8GB micro sd card which is good for a couple hours of video. They also provide a PC app for playing back the videos and route mapping.
The Cowon offers excellent video and has WiFi and the GPS option is an additional $40. They also provide a PC app for video/route viewing.
There is no reason not to have a dash cam with prices below $100. Here is a video of a driver that lost control of his speeding vehicle, side swiped my rear and ricocheted off of me. Look close and you will see his car parts fly past my driver's window.
He told the officer I pulled in to his lane, changed his story to he was avoiding a pothole after he was told I had a dashcam.
Here is the video link;

Don't judge the Cowon by the quality of this video, it was converted to a smaller byte size for the obvious reasons. The Cobra has a better video quality than the Cowon and both do very well at night. Youtube has video examples of both and more brands. Like what was said before, there isn't a best brand, there are many good quality brands that proved excellent video results.
