Is the picture on the Camera better than the VTL100? I have a VTL 100 installed on my car, can I just swap it for this model?

Picture quality is pretty good, however I think my camera may have been shipped not quite square in the mount. I get a view that is aimed off to the side by a slight amount. This also could be a result of my license plate not sitting square on my bumper. I have no experience with the VTL100, but I can tell you that the 425 has a short pigtail that is connected to the cable which will run to your head unit/monitor. At that end, there is another connection where you will tap in power and the wired remote to switch views.

I never owned a v-1001 so I can't answer for sure. but from looking at pictures, they seem identical. Its best if you ask the seller. they will clarify for you. =)

I'm deciding between the same thing, and I have chosen to plan on buying the VT25 over the GT25 because it has deeper blacks and apparently (I still need to ask around more about this) has true 24p Cinematic Playback, which is very important to me, I'm a cinema snob. The VT25 also has like one additional HDMI port or something, which really does not matter. The one thing I hear that the GT25 has over the VT25 is the ability to convert 2D to 3D (as best it can I guess). I really don't care about that, though. If it wasn't intended to be in 3D, then why would I want to do a cheap conversion on it? I suppose it could be cool, but I'm just not interested in that. I just want to see things in the best way they were intended to be seen. I am waiting for a price drop for the VT25, that's just way too expensive at the moment.

This is just a camera. I installed it in a 2015 SLK Mercedes. The stock radio has the ability to display the lines. And any menu adjustments are made from the display not the camera. I know some cameras have the ability to enable lines, this is not one of those. The image quality is excellent however.

If you were on a moving taxi on a bright sunny day and taking wide shots you should be happy. You can go snapping away. I've taken a lot of moving (the subject moving) outdoor shots and I like the output -- much better than my old P&S; camera.If you were on a moving taxi at night you will not be happy with the quality of shots. Maybe a camera with better sensor might be better for you.

The price was much cheaper before, $270. I'm not sure if this is a different seller. Just check the details. I wouldn't call it the Motorsports edition. There is no suction cup with the one I bought. If that's what you want make sure it's listed. I love the camera but it has low battery life, so you need to invest in the battery bac.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed.I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.

I just sold my older tamron 70-200 and got this newer version. If you do sport, I say yes it is worth it. The faster focusing motor helps for tracking and the VC here is unbelievable. If you shoot portrait, other still photography in good light then the IQ isn't much difference. This is my action sport lens, the newer version taht I couldn't afford with the nikon VR2 model. I could of gotten a used older vr1 version.

The XD 1080 has all the bells and whistles and the picture is amazing. I have it mounted externally on my race car roll bar and when I get home and watch it on a big screen TV it is like I am back in the car. I still have not gotten the sound to where I'd like it despite using an optional external microphone but am working on it. Make sure you get the correct mount for your installation and model camera. There are many and if you're not sure call Replay. They will help you choose.

I am not familiar with the BOYO VTL425HD, but do own the Sony and it is a nice camera for the price. Wish it had backup guidelines. picture quality is good, even at night.

I'm pretty much wondering the same is there a drastic difference between the two sets? Will the Blacks be deeper on the VT25 series? I'm really not a movie buff I mostly game and with the 2D-3D conversion the GT25 has to offer I'm really torn between the two. The conversion may not be as great but it is a feature that the GT25 have over the VT25 and it's cheaper and if you can't tell the difference between PQ I would rather go with the GT25.

Hi, I checked-mine was a blue V2, the design looks a bit different than the V4, but I couldn't really say what the difference is. I can tell you I still use it at a follow focus on my Sony F3. It works great. Nice solid construction, adjustable start and stop points.

I installed it in a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen. It was larger than the light it replaced. I just attached it with black silicone glue. It's image is backwards, but I am not sure that it is the camera or the monitor??

No it is not as good but does your OEM one have a camera? It's usable but has a tinted color to it. Nice thing about this one was that it was a direct replacement on my car... not clip on.

I concur, the camera is crap. Here is what I have learned: Sharper Image no longer exists but various low quality vendors both US and foreign have purchased the right to use the name. Do not buy anything with the Sharper Image logo. It's all crap.

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.
