I brought an S3 Snooper of of ebay for bout £119.99, all the way back in march, I brought as like most motorists i didnt want to risk my licence because of all the new speed cameras popping up everywhere.
It works fine after a warmup period of about thirty seconds, plugs straight into the cigerette lighter easy peezy.
Needs to be updated reguarly on the internet usually once a month as on the snooper website they reguarly update the location of new speed cameras, picks up all the new speed cameras, like the Specs, that pick you up as you enter a zone and then at the end of the zone and calculate the average speed, it beeps when you are in the zone and at the start aswell, it shows a visual warning and an audible warning that can be adjusted to turn the sound down. The audible warning is in the form of beeping which gets louder and quicker the closer you get and the visual warning is just red lights ranging from 1-5 when all are lit means your close.
It aslo picks up all fixed speed cameras and also handheld laser speed detector used by the police.
The only downside i can find is that it does pick up quite a few false alarms, but if you have the volume turned down it isnt that much of a distraction, and it will just cause you to slow down anyway, so its good in a way.
You can pay £100 for lifetime free updates, or £5 a month by direct debit,
Overall i would say it is a very attractive looking radar dectector, with great value for money (the cheapest GPS you can buy), and quite accurate most of the time

Review of Snooper S3 by

Advantages: Database constantly updated, easy to set-up
Disadvantages: ...the quiet moments worry me!
...new buildings overnight.
The Snooper S3 GPS, Laser and Radar speed camera detector is one of the only systems on the market to combine all three technologies.
In essence it detects: Gatso safety cameras, Specs camera systems, Truvelo cameras, Digital cameras, accident hotspots and Laser guns!
The database seems fairly extensive (certainly round Stafford), and is updated every other day, so less of a worry with new cameras going up and leaving ... ...UK speed camera database
Snooper AURA speed camera subscription - £2.99 a month, £7.99 a quarter, £29.99 a year
and comes with a 2 Years manufacturers guarantee
I am not sure of the longevity of this product, as keeping your eyes on the road and your speed seem a more reliable option!
Fits easily in your pocket or bag at journeys end, and plugs straight into the cigarette lighter for charging.
It seems to me to have moments of incredible laziness, ...
