I would recommand the Drift HD170, No doubt about that. All the other cameras are pretty over exposed, the Drift is teh one that refect the actual lighting conditions.

I have been using my gopro hero HD for months now and have not found any video to be over exposed in many different situations. The video quality is just amazing for such a camera
