If you like to compare 2007 camera to a 2007 camera ( I guess Honda had one of better quality and lower price then :stickpoke) this is what the technology was then. If you like to compare 2007 technology to 2012 or 2014 technology this is a different story.
In a few years the rear view image may be projected directly to one's brain cortex, but today we can only see it on a screen ;)

I actually think it is on purpose:
if you backed out and start accelerating you can still see if a car,elk or bull approaches you from behind quickly...

Because my wife's Audi does the same. Must be a German thing :D

Hey, at least the camera displays even if you haven't Accepted the liability acknowledgement when you first start the car...

Totally forgot about that nonsense as it was the first thing I coded out when I got the car!

Yeah the camera setup on the pre LCI is pretty horrible, has anyone upgraded their camera? I'd just like to have better clarity...I nailed my bumper one night with my trailer when I was in a hurry....backing up backing up...POP! DAMN! Oh, now I see the slight delay...never again....now I'm always trying to hook up my trailer at a snail's pace!
