The additional weight of the camera is about three pounds. If I was that nuts over the weight, I think I'd either choose to not drive my wife around with me or stop eating McDonalds and lose 3lbs. I ride bicycles and it's always funny how riders obsess over additional grams for accessories, when they themselves could lose pounds much cheaper then paying the extreme premium to take off the equivalent in bicycle weight.

I'm not racing my Z. I use it as a commuter car..100miles per day. I have had it for a month and already have 2400 miles on it. I like the visibility the always on camera provides. I'm surprised "always on" cameras aren't options on cars. It's only a matter of time before Infiniti does this on their surround view system.
