I ended up with a Contour ROAM after a fair bit of research, but there's no screen on it so you can't review what you've taken - I got mine for £90 s/h off ebay. In all honesty it's not that light - about the size and weight of a pritt stick filled with pound coins. I'd say go with this, or go for the much more expensive GoPro if you want to review the footage on the go. I tried a couple of the very cheap Muvi type cameras but the quality of movie is very poor - I've got one of these you're more than welcome to if you want.

The video clips I've put on Youtube were taken with a Polaroid XS-100... https://www.youtube.com/user/AlanGoodman47
