I'd have to see actual video from it firsthand. All the other cams that I tried out looked good on paper too, but most had pretty lousy video quality compared to the GoPro. There are a lot of Youtube videos but they aren't good for comparison as YouTube compression makes everything look lousy.
One thing that I haven't seen ANY camera handle as well as the GoPro is varied lighting conditions. Most either can't do low light or get badly washed out in bright sunlight conditions. This is borne out on a few of the YouTube comparisons that I've seen - when moving from dark to light areas the GoPro seems to handle the transition better.
Also it's $100 more currently.
