It has a very wide angle lens. I find it useful when backing out of a parking space and there are big SUVs to my left and right, since I can see more out back than what the rear view window shows. I also find it useful when backing into a parking space, and there are no cars to my left and right, since I can see the lines in the parking space while backing up.
Just read that infiniti is testing a system with four cameras to create an overhead view of the car showing what's on all sides:

The adaptive headlights are pretty cool. I noticed the left didn't move right away, figured it was due to oncoming traffic while sitting at a light turning left. The backup camera I thought would be a neat gadget to show people. In reality it is one of the best features on the car. Just the other night I was picking up my daughter and went to leave, put it in reverse looked over my shoulders and nothing there. Then I looked on the camera and there was a little girl just hangin out behind my car. Wouldn't have seen her otherwise. Clarity and depth perception are awesome. I have a programmer on my truck that adds 120hp, has gps , and a backup camera option. Didn't get the camera when I bought it cause I didn't figure I needed it. Since using it in the G, I have now ordered the camera for the truck. I think they should become standard equipment. They would really help the seniors around here that never look over there shoulder, they just put it in reverse pause 5 seconds and start comin slowly.
