The GS 1000 Orange Menu
Not only does this camera record excellent video, but it also provides GPS navigation as well. We place an emphasis on the orange menu GS 1000 since there are others made using a blue menu. However, these cameras that have the blue menu are of lower quality and should be avoided. The orange menu version also comes with a better A2S processor and newer firmware.

Not only does this impress with its night recording capabilities using Wide Dynamic Range for low light recording, but it also features one of the highest bit rates on the market at 15 kpbs. Although the camera is quite compact, it does provide a 2.7” LCD display. This camera is affordable, provides excellent video quality and has a compact form factor which makes it hard to pass up.
