Resolution of the Recorder 1 is 352 x 240. Because this specification has been omitted (for what ever reason) I bought the wrong recorder for using with a helmet-cam. From the Neuros website I got the impression that the only difference between the two recorders was one had a SD slot and the other had a Memory Stick slot. (Because the resolution for the Recorder 1 is not listed in its specifications, I wrongly assumed it was the same as the Recorder 2’s 640 x 480.) Only upon buying a Neuros 1 did I find out its top resolution is and odd 352 by 240. Then by reading the forums I found out that the Recorder 1 also has a slower processor than the Recorder 2 and its Mpeg4 file format is specific to PDA’s. Fortunately my wife wants to watch TV shows on here Palm PDA, so the purchase wasn’t a total waist. I also wanted to use the Recorder 1 to make quick video-podcasts, but this won’t work either due to the kind of Mpeg4 used. Other customers like me may incorrectly choose to buy the Recorder 1 over the Recorder 2 because they have cameras and PDA’s that use SD memory and memory sticks slots are useless. Warning: the specifications for the Neuros Mpeg4 Recorders 1 and 2 are spotty and unclear.
