    Did a test of my GoPro and Contour cameras. GoPro sounds better, but Contour colors are more natural.

    I actually prefer the GoPro colors, they appear much more vivid.

    It's warmer there. It all depends on where you select metering, and the internal software. Generally, warmer images look more appeasing; but there is a limit. Both are poorly metered, but you pay for what you get... in a little package :)

    I wonder if you could white balance them properly, and lock it in. I think they are permanently set to continuously meter the light.
