If the image quality of the JVC is good and the price gets discounted further, I think they’ll still have a hit on their hands…

I am very happy with my Contour (and Nikons). There is a reason to have a viewfinder however and that is camera setup. I don’t know how many times my daughter went riding and came back with pictures of the ground or the sky.

I’d get one if it has 60fps and 170 degree view angle ( by the looks of no…. )

Lucky for us in broadcast or internet media 720p is still the norm. Most people can’t stream 1080p and don’t care to.(Most people are non-gaming, non-internet gurus with basic DSL internet) 
Yes, this camera has an LCD but I use 7′ external monitors when I setup my shot. I have back problems so I don’t want to be bent over setting up a shot.

Obviously no one is going to try to use the viewfinder while shooting, that it’s strictly for review and setup.

Just like the GoPro/Contour and others they’re not just a helmet camera.
Besides, if they are using it as a helmet cam that they may have someone else adjusting the camera on their behalf.
