Joe, who was offering this discount? Maybe they would be interested in another smaller group buy.Boostedxt said:Go to amazon.com and pull up the Contour HD roam camera and enter 89ROAM89 and it drops the price from $199 to $89.
if you enter the code you have to buy it or else the code wont work next time because its one per account.

My invoice says "sold by Amazon.com LLC" - which I take to mean, Amazon themselves, not one of the smaller companies they distribute for. Don't know how you'd go about negotiating with Amazon for a small group buy... a GIANT group buy, maybe you could get them interestedtomatocity said:Joe, who was offering this discount?

On my Contour HD I use a 8G and planned to do that with my Roam, but yesterday found a deal at a local store on a 16 for a bit more. The 8 typically go for $15 and I got the 16 for $25 so went with it.simmons1 said:I received mine as well. How big a memory card does it make sense to buy? I was thinking of getting a 16gb.
Thanks!
Fred - as you can see from my vid the sound on the Roam is pretty low - and sensitivity is set to the max, while the 1080HD is set in the middle. This is after the firmware update. Not a big issue if only used on the bike at higher speeds, but as you say, sometimes it might be useful have reasonable sound. I'll be interested to hear if your new camera fixes this problem.fredz43 said:BTW, they evidently still have some issues with audio recording level on some of the Roams, even after installing the firmware update. There may also be a hardware problem. I installed the 1.06 update and audio level was still low. I called their customer support and left a message. An hour later I got a call from a tech rep and he is sending me out a new one with a pre paid return shipping tag to send the old one back.
I'd recommend the largest possible capacity because we like to watch long HD vid's. Money is no object as long as YOU are the one spending it. :->simmons1 said:I received mine as well. How big a memory card does it make sense to buy? I was thinking of getting a 16gb.

The Go Pro 2 is sweet. Take a look at it. It's $299.00 but well worth it.Venture said:How do these compare to a GoPro?
