We use the GoPro's and have for almost (3) years now.  Liked them so much I became a dealer for them.  One thing I think the GoPro does 5x better than any other is the sound.  A great picture is obviously critical, but I don't think there is a camera out there that can match the sound ability that the GoPro has.

In the coming months there will be an attachable LCD screen, as well as a few other new things.

The new lower definition HD Camera is coming out as well.  The HD 960 is a step below the 1080P current HD camera. It has a lower price point of $179 retail. It is still a 5 megapixel HD camera, it only has the 720P @ 30fps and the 960P @ 30 fps, so it doesn't have the 720 @ 60 fps or the 1080P resolution modes. Also, the 960 will not have the HERO Bus expansion port in the rear of the camera to add an extra battery or the LCD screen which will be available later this year. In short, it is more of an entry level HD wearable camera.

We have TONS of footage of both ATV'ing and Kart Racing with the HD model and it is incredible.  Contact me if you're interested, maybe we can make a deal.

I have a GoPro, Contour and Drift and I prefer the Drift because it has a LCD, Remote, Zoom, and external Mic.

I got all three of my cameras from these guys:

and the must have accessory is the Pedco Ultra clamp for attaching any camera to your bike.
