Major diff is the 60fps @ 720p, but check out this thread - three pages of it...

I have the HD Hero, and enjoy the ability of 60fps for slow mo stuff.

:thumbsup: If yer lazy, then you probably want the just the 960 version...induction said:
j/k. I am for sure lazy. But I was surprised by the GoPro altogether. So much so that I now have two camcorders, and am now shopping for a HDSLR.
Be careful, it can be addictive

not to sure on the go pro's features as i am a contour user myself, i have 2, normal hd 720 and the 1080p, now to answer your question,,,,,, i would say it depends what you want from your camera, will you intend to use the extra feature of the more expensive model, if you will then it's gonna be worth it, if not and all you want to do is shoot basic vids then take the cheaper option,induction said:
if i am completely honest i wasted my money going for the contour hd1080p, i was more than happy with my 720, when i heard they had launched a full hd version i just had to have one being a stupid prick with too much money lol, i went and bought one lol. i never really use all the features on the 1080p, i just usually switch it on record what ever then flick it off, like i do with my 720, so for me it was a complete waste getting the more expensive model.

Due to financial constraints, I'm lookin' into a 550D. Not as fancy as the 7D of course, but lots more affordable (and, I still have an original digital rebel with a new shutter, and a fully functioning 20D). If I can sweet talk the wife, I may work my way in to a 60Ddelirian said:

It doesn't have to be. Use it to provide multiple Points of View in your vids. Say one atop the helmet--one facing to rear of bike ,,or however.
