I mean, do both? Surely as a driver we should be using all the information we can get to drive safely. When I'm reversing I'll look around, get in position to reverse, and alternate between side mirrors, looking around, and the reversing cam. Might be a side effect of how we're taught in the UK, but we were always told we should keep glancing in our mirrors whilst driving so it seems natural to me at least.

Turning my head quickly to pivot between the video screen and the back (and the back left) makes me feel like I'm being less safe than if I just looked straight at the video or possibly straight backward.

  In most cases, I do an initial sweep, then use my camera. If I'm backing from between two vehicles, I check the camera, then turn around and keep an eye for anyone coming from either side. The fisheye on the backup camera helps a lot, but it's not going to show the idiot going 20 mph through the parking lot until it's too late.
