[QUOTE="matthayn, post: 14129014, member: 121241"] I've been using an original Roam for a couple years now, and it has been an awesome camera. Myself and a friend enjoy making hunting videos ([url]http://www.youtube.com/user/ROAMPOV[/url]) and he uses a GoPro HD Hero 2. EVERY time we go on a hunt and use the cameras for more than an hour or so, his starts dying (freezing temps don't help). Also if it starts raining he has to bust out the waterproof case. The Roam models are waterproof and mine has never gotten close to dying even after hours and hours in the field turning it on and off etc... Here's my .02 on the benefits of each [U]Contour[/U] Battery life Ease of use (one simple on/off switch) Waterproof without a case (Roam models) Rotational lens (you will absolutely love this after you start using it) [U]GoPro[/U] Picture quality is slightly better Features and ability to switch video/picture modes on the fly Audio quality is better I think I read that the Roam2 is 720p 60fps equipped which is most likely what you'll want. The original Roam is 1080p but only 30fps, and I wish I had the 60fps option. I spend hours editing both the GoPro and Contour footage, both are nice, just depends how you'll be using it. [/QUOTE]
