I have three Contour, one GoPro, two Sony cams. The ones that get the most use are the Sony's But battery life will always be an issue if you want to go small and light. I have followed the rather long and very complete Mobius thread over at RCGroups (the flight guys love this cam) and it has some really nice features for the price. Probably doesn't help the OP much but it does show that there are options.
