Wow! Thanks for the heads-up... I'm atually looking to get a good Sports HD videocam and I'm currently trying out 2 different ones so I'm definitely gonna be watching this!

I had the GoPro Hero 1080 and tried it for almost 2 weeks but returned it. The video quality was good but overall I just thought the menu and controls were too clumsy and not well thought out.

I'm currently trying out the Contour GPS because of it's built-in GPS and it's ability to link to my iPhone via Bluetooth and use the smartphone screen as the viewfinder but I'm likely going to return it also because I've been less than impessed with its video quality.

GAHHHH just bought a 1st gen about a month ago!! ah well, I'd be pissed if it had greater than 60fps at 720p, but otherwise the other features seem to be (in my opinion) nice to have, not need to have... weird too since I had this feeling that they'd bring out a new one soon when I bought my one, and I'd be in this exact situation
