If you get the GoPro, get the GoPro 2. Check out their site and you can compare the regular to the 2. The big one is from 5 to 12 megapixel photos. Drawback is that there is only an add-on view screen and it apparantly sucks the battery dry.

it depends if you want a still camera or a video camera or a still camera that shoots video ok. Not so much the video part, but the focal length of the lens won't be as wide as the gopro.

Here is a good review of the latest waterproof still cameras that shoot video. The next button is kinda hard to find, maybe about 1/2 down the page.
