I have a DOD LS430 cam in my car, was just over $100 shipped from China off Alibaba.com.

It's a similar model to this http://dashcamtalk.com/ls300w/

Great camera, though some of the features are not really worth paying the extra over their cheaper models. Auto power-on/record, video quality is excellent, even 720p at 60fps looks great. I bought 2 of them ~6 months ago, not had any issues at all. As they are constantly releasing new models I would certainly check them out if I needed to buy again.

After experiencing a second hit and run in a parking lot, I'm interested in getting a dashcam. Does anyone know if there are cameras that automatically turn on when they sense an impact?

That would be completely useless. If you actually needed to use footage to determine fault in most accidents chances are you would be stuck without the few seconds leading up to impact.

Most (all?) modern dashcams use SD cards and record continuously from the moment the ignition is turned on. Once the card is full they rewrite over the oldest recordings without requiring any intervention from the user

The difference between those Italian and the Australian dashcam vids is stark

At least when an Italian driver pulls a bonehead move the parties involved usually manage to avoid a collision....
