The battle of 2K versus 1080p. Both are great dashcams but my A129 is starting to show its age after 4 years of solid service as my main dashcam. The slower Wi-Fi and slight focus shift are big reasons I wanted to put a new camera in my car.

I went with the A229 because it represents a good middle ground for video quality (and I wanted 2K rear to compare against other cameras). Now I can see if a camera claims to be 4K but the video quality is worse, it'll be easier to determine value.
