For those interested in facts, a quick Google search will verify that the GoPro definitely has glass lenses (both camera and housing) and there's much information suggesting the Contour's lens is glass as well. Feel free to stand by your assessment of "the quality of that other 'HD' stuff", and I'll once again stand by my assessment regarding the author's credibility (at least in this particular article). There's a reason production companies creating some top HD television shows regularly use at least one of the products you're trying to knock.

They're HD in resolution only. http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/05/18/when-hd-isnt-high-definition/ I stand by my assessment… small-sensor devices with plastic lenses simply don’t produce good quality images.

Seriously, all reputable reviewers of products in this category rave about the picutre quality (and not just for the price or the size). Swann's arriving pretty late to this party, and it will probably never catch up with whatever the latest and greatest is moving forward. Consumers on a budget will most likely be better off purchasing dated models from the class leader(s). Prices of existing products typically seem to drop shortly after a manufacture releases a new or next generation version. This will ensure a customer gets time proven reliability at a greatly reduced price, instead of rolling the dice on something that is not only completely new, but actually difficult to currently find any information about, even on Google! Just my $.02 Hate to say it Devin, but when you said “Let’s be honest, though, the quality on that other “HD” stuff isn’t really that good” you lost all credibility… Seriously, all reputable reviewers of products in this category rave about the picutre quality (and not just for the price or the size).
