That's quite a deal - not. I always chuckle when there are multiple sellers for a product at similar prices then the odd ones trying it on.
Thank you for the link - looks pretty useful - not one I've visited previously.

Well done! but I found you a better deal (joking but worth a look!). More seriously, you'll find plenty of useful info on your camera here (you probably know already): https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/forums/d201.194/

Well, it arrived today, very quick.
On the face of it, just the same as the detail in your review, with just a couple of differences - the player is v1.119 and picks up the *.mp4 without extra encouragement. And the version info="DAB201 ZX-AMF-G-2315W" and it does show in PC USB as an A12 platform.
I took it for a spin - and it's actually very good, especially as the afternoon was moving on and many cars had their lights on. Video plays back OK and GPS works OK. So all good!
But here's the best bit - I went back to the Amazon page I ordered it from to grab a screen dump of the product description (which I should have done earlier, but glad I didn't) and saw it was on sale for £9.99 Eh?? Black Friday discount, apparently. I tried to order 2 but there was just 1 available, so nabbed that! Well chuffed, as we say here.

I did keep in mind the old adage - if it seems too...

I did keep in mind the old adage - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
But I bought it anyway ...
And yes, as it's from Amazon, if it's a scam, no problem.

Hi Alastair, it's surely worth a shot at that ...

Hi Alastair, it's surely worth a shot at that price! GB still sells it for 100€ (way too much). By the description it's the same camera with GPS and all. I wonder where's the catch.
The only thing I found is that the re-seller Sinotec is located in China (Guangdong), but at that price, there should be little or no custom charges. As it's "Fulfilled by Amazon", do not hesitate to file a case with them directly should the item be not as described or never arrive (but the reviews seems genuine so it's goo sign already).

I'm starting Christmas present shopping - perhaps a bit late for delivery from the Far East - and came across this :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Advanced-Ambarella-G-Sensor-Tracking-Charger/dp/B01D4I91K4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1479218807&sr=8-6&keywords=Ambarella+A12
It's either a good look-alike or the D201 at an amazingly low price.
What do you think? I'm tempted to take a punt anyway.
