Go Pro vs. Countour HD

Both of these cameras are pretty similar in size and price, so what do you guys think is a better camera and why? 

We did an interview with Countour HD at WWSRA last week, which we'll post soon, but I'd like to hear what you guys think if you've ever used them.

I've only seen footage out of the GO Pro and I thought the optics were awesome for shooting really close to the athlete.  The waterproof housing was also pretty sweet.

GoPro has a better lens, which is enough reason to choose it over the others.

+it actually makes you go pro.

I have the Contour hd and its really easy to use. i bought it becouse i really liked how you could place the cam on the side of the helmet.

1) USE THE FUCKING SEARCH FUNCTION

2) Time and time again, the gopro has won. It's actually waterproof, takes better quality video (yes, 1080vs1080, but the gopro is clearer), wider screen...... Just get the gopro. That's what I did, and I'm extremely happy.
