The colors captured by the T130 look more like an early fall session version of the colors for that area. The A229 Duo's front camera with the CPL filter seems to be the unit which best reproduces the actual colors from the location being recorded. The A229 and T130 both have a very good focus clarity level across the entire field of view. The focus issue is not a windshield clarity issue. The A119 Mini's focus is decent in the lower 1/3 of the image (interior dashboard and the rear section of the car's hood). I've included three frame grabs from the 2560x1440 video (scaled to 1920x1080 for this website) and you can see the A119 Mini's focus is not as sharp as the other two dash cameras. I hope to see a better focus clarity with the replacement unit.

I will be receiving a production replacement for my current A119 Mini so I can complete my full review of the product in the next several weeks. The A119 Mini (pre-production unit) does seem to be developing a soft/fuzzy focus clarity level across upper 2/3 of the field of view. The A229 Duo front camera lens and the T130 front camera lens have very good focus clarity across the entire field of view. The A229 Duo front lens gets a bit closer to matching the A119 Mini than the T130 does (see pics in next section). The A229 and T130 had their front camera lens (and camera body in the T130 case) adjusted as far down as they allowed to try and match the same ratio of sky/ground as the A119 Mini.
The A119 Mini allows for a larger range of vertical adjustment of the front camera lens when compared to the A229 and T130. The three dash cameras are mounted side-by-side-by-side on the front windshield. All three dash camera were recording 2560x1440 30fps. The A229 and T130 CPL filters did need some adjustment to have them block the best/most amount of dashboard reflections in the windshield. The A119 Mini's CPL filter simply snaps onto the front camera lens without needing any adjustment according to the user instructions. I have a VIOFO A119 Mini with its rectangular mount CPL filter, a VIOFO A229 Duo front and a VIOFO T130 front with their circular press on CPL filters installed.
