I did a bunch of research and learned that the "808" key chain cameras are all different depending on the version number. #11 is the best that I could tell but they don't seem to sell it on Amazon. I bought it on eBay for $37 delivered. It looks exactly like this one but is 780P high definition and takes 5 mega pixel photos. It actually takes really good video for such a small, light weight, in expensive device. The photos aren't so great but the video and sound is excellent. I bought a class 10 microSD card and it works great. No lost frames at all. I attached it to my son's RC Airplane and got some great video. Can't wait to attach it to a rocket!
Sorry this review isn't for the version being sold on Amazon but based on the not so great reviews I thought I would put this review here to help save you time and money by giving you the results of all my research.

I just took my first pix & video! Not exactly cinematic quality, unless you're making a movie about a dubious acid trip, but that's OK. Now I've got a camera for my experiment (seeing where my cat goes when I let her out) and I won't be out much money if she immediately scrapes it off her harness under somebody's car somewhere. But it took some patience! Better info on this product page could have saved me at least a week.
First and foremost, people need to know that THIS ONE DOES NOT COME WITH A MICRO-SD CARD. IT WON'T WORK WITHOUT IT, SO GET ONE NOW. "Frequently Bought Together" is NOT explicit enough and it's certainly not obvious from the picture. There are something like 20 variations of this camera on the market with identical housings and names, and many of them DO come with micro-SD cards. Of those, a fair number reportedly come with FAKE micro-SD cards. Whether that means "a no-name card with a forged trademark" or "a piece of plastic painted to look like a micro-SD card," you're probably better off buying one separately that you know is good - but it sure would help to know up front that you need to do that.
Next, as the webpages about these cameras seem to agree, people need to know that !! this is a hobbyist thing !! It is NOT a "consumer item" by typical US & EU standards (i.e., "everything you need is in the box with understandably written instructions, and it will almost certainly work, and there's someone you can yell at if it doesn't"). Apparently nobody knows who makes these things because nobody puts their own trademarks on them. I imagine various Asian middle schools ordering The Ubiquitous Housings, collecting scrap chips from local factories, and building these cameras as fundraising items. Hey, it's more educational than selling band candy! The instructions are good for a giggle at the quasi-poetic translation, but that's about it. However, if you search the Web for "808 Car Key Camera" there are some good instructions, including videos, that got me up and running; thanks, you guys!
So if you have time, and you like to tinker, learn, have adventures, and gamble a little, buy this camera with both eyes open and have fun! If you're on a strict deadline, your brain is full with other stuff, and failure is not an option, you might want to dig between the sofa cushions for some more money to buy something a little less feral.

I purchased this camera from Ebay recently. Since the camera has no internal memory, nor does it include a memory card, I purchased a memory card from Ebay as-well. My total between the camera and TF card: about $14.00 including shipping.
I received it and charged it for two hours. I placed the TF card in it and tested it in both video and picture modes. Both worked very well! Nowhere near the quality of my Nikon or Panasonic still and video cameras, but for $14.00, it was quite good enough to go flying on my RC airplanes and helicopters. I attached it to my helicopter and flew long enough to fill the cards memory. I did this about 4 or 5 times and the camera worked perfectly. After about the fifth flight and recording, the computer began to have trouble seeing the camera (I would get the little blue "thinking" circle on my screen that would just keep going and going). After about six or seven uses, my computer would no longer see the camera at all. The camera would actually cause the computer screen to go blank and lose signal when it was plugged into the USB port. The only way to clear it and get the screen back up was to unplug the computer and restart it. CTRL+ALT+DELETE did nothing. I started taking the card out of the camera and putting it in my card reader. This worked for a little while, but the camera stopped working shortly there-after anyway. - Resetting it didn't help. The light on the camera would indicate that it was working, but it would no longer record any video, sound, or take any pictures despite trying different memory cards. So the camera is completely dead after just a couple days of use or the equivalent of about eight or so video recordings. If you do purchase this camera, I strongly suggest buying it from Amazon! If you do, and it fails for you, you know you are backed by Amazons great return policy.
A note about the "instruction booklet". It's almost completely useless. It is extremely hard to understand as the English is very poorly written. You'll do better to just toss the instructions and experiment your way to learning how to use this camera.
As with all my reviews, the above is only my opinion or observation of an item that I own or have tested. Consider that it is possible that I may have either purchased/tested a faulty unit or an exceptionally good one. Your experience may differ from mine, better or worse. Paying attention to the up or down trend from several reviewers will help you make an educated decision on whether or not the item is for you.
Best of Luck!!
