I have a Contour; I bought it mainly because specs-wise it was much cheaper than gopro equivalents. There was also some driver issues with the latest gopro model at the time. In hindsight though I think I should have got a gopro. There are certain features that the Contour doesn't have that I would imagine should be easy to implement: mainly the ability to take a mixture of video and still images on the fly. I also think that the video quality is now lagging behind gopro's for equivalent models. Having said all that, I do think they are still a good, cheap, alternative.
