I voted for contour but really it depends on the model. Maybe you should list the different model contour and go pros.
Contour:
HD 720p
HD 1080p
GPS HD 1080p
Go Pro:
SD Hero
HD Hero 960
HD Hero
Contour:
HD 720p
HD 1080p
GPS HD 1080p
Go Pro:
SD Hero
HD Hero 960
HD Hero
You know, that would be an interesting test.
Mount the two different cameras on the same helmet and go for a ride, them compare the final result side by side.

I got a Go Pro around Christmas time and I love it, I got the HD Hero 1080p. The picture quality is outstanding! I'm really happy with it, but I haven't had any experience with anything else.
Here is a link for one of the videos I've made wtih it, It was only set at 720p for this video.

Thats why this post came about I have heard so much about them and I have been on the fence about the go pro I mean these things are used everywhere but which one records the best, which one has the best frame rates, Who had the most expandable memory, and who puts out the best picture. Also which one has the best mounts for snowmobile applications. I actually made a mount for my hood and helmet for my Sony HD Camcorder but my wife saw it and said "try it and see what happens." So I put it away, then I aslo have a Cannon T2I with 1080 Video but its hard to lug a big camera around with all the equipment we have.
Chris,
I think we need snowest to do a test like this in the mag and post the video results online. If they would like they can send me both and I will write and post the review.

I just recieved my Gopro yesterday. I ride with TGitt and M8Chris and one Chris's buddies and they all have used the GoPro HD and after seeing the video quality that is what I also ordered. I'm headed up bloomington area Saturday and hoping to get some good footage with this new camera. I have no experience with the Contour but the GoPro rocks and you can't go wrong with it.

Fantastic Idea!A true side by side mounted and recording the same thing at the same time would be cool to see... I love my Go Pro 960 HD
Also, consider size and battery life [in the cold].
I'd assume, due to size, the Contour would stay out of the way better, and potentially take less damage in a crash...or in general tree banging situtations.

Wow, I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the GoPro, but I would like to get some underwater shots with it as well and after seeing the video comparison, the countour kicks its ***. I wonder if the focusing issue is in the settings?
Anyone have focusing issues with there GoPro's?
