ROAM 2 Video Camera
The ContourROAM2 is the easiest, and most stylish, way to shoot action video. It's a really easy camera to use, just point then press the button and it's recording. Never miss a memorable moment again. Includes 4GB MicroSD card.
Overall rating
Very poor in reduced light.

"I bought this camera for skiing and it performed admirably. Came back from my most recent hols with some great footage. Battery life is excellent and operation could not be easier (huge on/off sliding switch on the top). Took some severe knocks and it's still working perfectly.
On the bike it's pretty good too. However, in reduced light the performance is quite poor. Into the evening the image becomes grainy and blurred. In the night, even on well lit streets, you're wasting your time. To be fair I think this would apply to most cameras.
My main gripe is the lack of mounts that came with the camera. I was immediately forced into shelling out another 17 quid for a headband mount and the cycling helmet mount is about the same also. I'm also disappointed that the settings cannot be changed on the move. You have to plug your camera into a PC and change the settings with the free Contour Storyteller software. I think the camera is perhaps a little on the pricey side too.
However, overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I would recommend this product."

Does the contour roam 2 HD Geo Tag your films?
No. This camera is not equipped with GPS. The Contour +2, however, is GPS enabled but is not waterproof!!!!
