eyemodule2 vs Handcam

Anyone had any experience with both? I am looking to get one but not sure if one is better than the other. Any comments?

Thanks

Yep, I've tried both. Gotten rid of both of them, because once the novelty wears off, the simple fact is my cheapo standalone $129. HP is more reliable.

Under ideal conditions, the HandCam could perhaps take better images, but it is more susceptible to imperfect lighting conditions and a less than steady hand.

Additionally, the HandCam software is primitive. Many people have trouble getting the conduit to work, and there is no provision for installing the conduit without the webcam software. Particularly annoying is that camera adjustments are done through the webcam software, not on the visor app, even though they apparently control its functionality in both.

i had an eyemodule2(still havnt changed my sig). I liked it a lot. i only traded it for a soundsgood because i desperately need a new computer toy(its a terrible addiction), and am currently a poor student. it takes good pictures during the day; dont even bother trying if there is not much light: the image just goes grainy. but its like that on the handcam too. the software for the eyemodule is great. stable, all the funtions you need and very inuitive.

if i get a chance later on this year and i have some money, i may see if i can pick one up again.
