The Bottom Line The Contour+2 combines the best features of the entire Contour camera line in one simple, powerful flagship model. The GoPro Hero3 Silver and White editions are strong contenders in the sports camera market, but the faster, more powerful Black Edition is head and shoulders the best sports camera on the market today. The Sony Action Cam is a solid first effort and worth its price, but some design shortcomings may be enough to put off some potential buyers. The GoPro Hero3 Silver and White editions are strong contenders in the sports camera market, but the faster, more powerful Black Edition is head and shoulders the best sports camera on the market today. As long as you don't need to change shooting modes on the go, the ContourRoam2 is a simple way to capture fine-quality POV videos in dry or wet conditions.
