The advantage of the HD video cam is that it has a wide angle lens, which not many at this price range have. The XZ1 does not, nor any of the sub-$100 SD (standard def) tiny video cameras.
The HD video cam may not have brilliant video quality and seems prone to flare (if one aims it too high with about 50% sky in the picture, or if the sun is low and strikes it), but it does have a useful LCD screen, comes with the necessary bits for attachment and is 720p.

(Its a magnetic fish eye lense, Just glue the "washer" to the lense, then this just clips on & off as required)

Ok so got an HD sports camera as in original post; $108 camera $10 post and $20 micro sd card.
Mounted it on oggie knob and tested it out today, maybe not GoPro quality but I'm very happy with it for total of $138.

For that dollar it's not too bad. Nowhere near GoPro [thanks to 30fps limit] but certainly better than the 30 dollar 640x480 tiny vid cams. You gets what you pays...
I wonder if it's possible to tape a piece of graduated tint across the top half of the lens, as the bright sky seems to overpower the scene in many demo vis so far. Either that or tilt the camera down a little more so there's less sky...

Hi Guys, -
I'm searching for the main Go. Pro thread, but in case it doesn't exist....
I'm in the US LAXing before flying home to another Summer, and am looking to pick up a Go Pro - mainly for use on the ST1300 - will the Black Edition do everything I need?
Or is there a more obvious model I should get? Also I should get a decent memory card too huh
Shafty
Ps I could bring an extra one home for $500.........

Yeah Shafty the black ed gro pro is the dogs bouncy things!
As seen on all hard working TV news programs straight off YouTube these days.
Read that it has a higher frame rate in HD than any of its competitors.
