I've been looking at these aswell. I didn't know wether to go for the older model?

Some friends I know borrowed a contour camera for a snowboard trip and the video was very good from that.

I have the go pro HD Hero camera. I think it is awesome. I haven't used it much yet. I got mine at 4wheelparts.com here in the states before christmas.

I was at Rutland Cycling the other day and they were saying that they could not keep up with demand. Certainly very popular.

They do motorsport mounts as well:

My brother has the 960p one, its great. Only used it for jumping in the pool and things like that though. Got it on holiday from Best Buy in Florida.

Only downside is the sound can be a little off.

Have a look on youtube, 960p one isn't far off 1080p quality wise and is cheaper. 1080p fills memory cards up very quick.

Hang on a week or 2 though dude, ant's mrs is waiting on a couple of demo's to come in from a new competitor that are about half the price. I'm going to see if i can borrow one to strap to the mini on the riv run to test it out.

Go pro is what alot of tv shows use,
They at very basic control wise so are easy to use. One of the local kitesurfers here has one and has got some nice vids with it.

I've been hankering after one for a while now, but just haven't had the spare cash, but that amazon link ( if it's the 1080pversion is a fantastic deal

Does look like a great deal

Been looking at the tubular one. Saw a video of motor bike drifting all shout from go pro cameras and I have to say the quality was extremely impressive to the point I'm thinking of getting one brought over from the states.

Own the day

im now looking at the motorsports hero2 - it has a wider aspect ratio, can also shoot 11 megapixels and has a better lens but the motorsports hero (the first edition) looks great and still shoots in 1080p.. (5 megapixels).. about £90 difference in cost.

I've got a HD hero 2 and the picture quality is noticeably better than the contour cameras. I've used it on 2 snowboarding holidays and i love it! they are also bomb proof i ran over mine with my board and it just scratched my board!

This was all recorded with my camera
