I've been eyeing the GoPro but their latest versions seem to have some quality control issues (freezing up, battery drain issues, etc).  Can anyone with the White/Silver/Black edition comment on their experiences so far?

Thanks for the link.  I was all set to pull the trigger, but it is in store pick up only, and the local stores don't have it.

Not sure about the Hero3, but I've got a Hero2 and I love it! It's been a great teaching tool at the track, for seeing what I was doing right and wrong (body position, turn in points, etc.), and for general use for making awesome videos when dicing it up with your brothers/buddies! Not sure about the new one (Hero3), but with the Hero2 I can do a full day at the track (6-7 sessions) on one battery charge, and have had ZERO issues. Good luck!

So far I haven't found a single store that has it. I'd jump on it in a minute if I could find one. :wink:

Maybe it was a typical Best Buy deal. "Oh sorry sir, we only had three for sale, and they're all gone."

Well, that just sucks.  :mad:

Perhaps best not to waste your time. Aside from Best Buy being a really shady company, here's what they are actually advertising

The original GoPro HD.

You can still get the Contour with the waterproof kit for $120 shipped. Up $20 from before now. Compare the two yourself to see if you like it. I like the Contour better because it doesn't bubble the image anywhere near as much as the GoPro.

has ANYONE tried the Liquid Image Ego's ?   I've been seeing them as low as like $135ish...  Thing that really gets my attention is that they are WiFi, so you can view them using a smartphone/app setup.

I looked at the Contour Roam also and liked the look and specs. I just haven't bitten the bullet to buy any yet.
