I just plain don't like the GoPro camera format, so I went for the Replay XD1080. Since I've found that my head is rarely facing the same way for more than a few seconds while I ride, which tends to make viewers seasick, I've mounted the cameras on my bike instead.

I would certainly recommend the Replay, with one warning; battery life. They seem to get about an hour and 20 minutes to a charge and, since the battery is integrated, you can't swap it out. They do make cigarette lighter power adapters for them though.

I also like that they have billet aluminum mounts available, and have a couple of them, but they're quite pricey.

Here's an example of what I do with them:

GPS is a very cool feature.... that is why I am starting to like the Contour+ 2 more and more.

You can do this with a GPS cam (such as the new contour+) using this dashboard software or this one for example. You can choose all kinds of data overlay designs. If you want to display throttle and brake info as well on your screen, you'll need to have an extra datacable connected to your bike (or install a device such as the Starlane Athon on your bike)

I gathered this info so far... I never connected it myself but to have a result like the movies above I am thinking about ordering a Contour+2 at Champion Cameras (these guys have almost all cams for good prices) When I receive it I will connect it to my bike, I will keep you posted...
