Great Camera for Sports

 

I use my Contour for recording my motorcycle rides and find it suits my needs almost to perfection. The cameras is compact and light with a range of mounts to suit almost any situation. The resolution is full 1080p but can be set for 720 if need be....

Size, controls, video quality, GPS tracking

Inability to erase on the fly, poor GPS signal at times
