    hola. I use a Hero2, and have used the original Hero as well. Friends have used the Contour and the Drift cameras, which are both side mounted and decent cameras.

    The biggest selling points for H2 (IMHO):
    • Forward facing mounts (instead of side mounts)
    • Tons of accessories and optional mountain positions
    • GREAT footage quality considering
    • Totally waterproof container (several friends have ruined the contours by dunking them)
    • Wide angle lens is really nice for establishing sense of place for the viewer.

    Downside:
    • Clunky form factor
    • Audio could be better (wind is not a problem, but rain or snow have a distracting snap sound when they hit the camera).
    • Confusing to learn how to use until you get it setup the way you like (the on/off record is nice)
