Good but...
JamesA, Christchurch
I broke the PLASTIC mount of the camera after a few days. Don't be deceived by the description implying that the entire body is made out of aluminium, it's not, only the tube shaped bit is. Just be careful how and where you mount it and don't put it somewhere where it'll get knocked around. Otherwise the camera is good: good quality video, easy to use, superb battery life.

Contour 1080p
MilkToast, Here
Great camera..I've got two now (after Torpedo had them on special) Easy to use..Just reach up and move the slider forward or backwards. Quality is fantastic..If you transfer to DVD it looks like it's made for it...The only problem can be dust behind the lens if you're on a dusty ride. This is easily fixed though, with a slight bead of silicon.

WAY BETTER THAN GOPRO
KarlLapwood, PORT MELBOURNE
Have had my ContourGPS for a week now, so not much video yet, but excellent quality and can't wait for waterprrof case and Bluetooth card to arrive. Would like to see a little more development in software to allow GPS and map overlaying for Youtube etc, hopefully sooner rather than later. to view my footage visit www.contour.com username:- lapwood
