Contour: Great shape, Great mounting system, huge on/off button can be activated with full ski mittens, rotating lens with laser horizon alignment so can be used effectively even upside-down, waterproof right out of the box, does not LOOK like a camera, bombproof. $49.99US (refurbished).

Roam - Contour

I have sold both cameras at retail. And dealt with customers after the sale. So I know things.

GoPro sucks. Except for their maketing. That is A++. They have made me a ton of $$.

Look at my cool new GoPro!

I am still glad, I got my GoPro. I looked at the Contour, and DriftStealth(after I was given my GoPro). I am still glad I was given the GoPro. I don't care if the police do take offense. It is my right to use a camera.
