CONCLUSION

   When we first took out the P2Pro Drive Recorder from the box we did find it a bit bulky but we understand that comes with the territory when you have an 2.4" LCD screen at the rear so that was the least of our concerns. After that our main focus turned on its recording capabilities since we were quite curious to see just what kind of image quality the aptiva CMOS sensor along with the 7 piece lens system would offer and as you can see from our clips it did very good in that area. The DR550GW-2CH by Pittasoft still holds the number one place in terms of image quality for us but the P2Pro offers many more features and although some of them like the Radar Warning System are not available outside from the USA (we can only hope that will change soon) still no one can deny that they can be of tremendous use to some people (especially the lane departure warning system).

   The PAPAGO P2Pro Drive Recorder has another thing going for it and that's its rather tempting price tag which is currently set at USD199 inside the USA (Amazon.com) making it one of the cheapest dash cameras with very good image quality and such a wide range of features. Now you all know that we come down hard to any product that doesn't deliver as advertised but the P2Pro Drive Recorder by PAPAGO is the jack of all trades and in the end we think that matters a bit more than being best in a single area. Of course we would like to see a new model with better image quality and perhaps the upcoming P3 will be capable of that but until then the P2Pro is our favorite in their product line and we are happy to award it with our Platinum Award.
