Caveat Emptor
Check these threads over at the Contour forums for Sound issues with old and new firmware....

http://support.contour.com/contour/topics/little_to_no_audio_on_contour_roam
-----------------------------------
Someone posted a Mod online to allow the ContourROAM to record in 60 FPS like its predecessor. I haven't tested it though.
http://www.wikihow.com/Mod-a-Contour-Roam-to-60Fps
This mod only works if you are running firmware version 1.01. If you took the "upgrade" firmware and are now running 1.06 then this will not work because Contour blocked this in the "upgrade".
----------------------------------
Thread at contour's forums with instructions on how to request the original firmware (to downgrade, since all the cameras from this deal appear to be 1.02)
http://support.contour.com/contour/topics/contour_roam_upgrade_to_720p_60fps
----------------------------------
If the code is not working, be sure Amazon.com is the seller. If it is the seller and still does not work, check the final check out page.
----------------------------------
Still comparison at various resolutions 1, 2, and 3

Applied this plus my Discover Cashback, to get the ROAM for 20.25!
Also, CountourROAM vs CountourHD? Differences?
Also, CountourROAM vs CountourHD? Differences?
I understand it has a power switch rather than a button, but how many dedicated buttons/switches are there for controlling settings? (ie switching between video modes, image mode, and taking an actual still shot)
